GVRET and BDC668 Disectors for Wireshark
This is a quick post about another non-quick rabbit hole. As part of my Project sEVen EV conversion, I’ve been playing about with CANBuses a lot. And in the previous post I talked about getting a CANBus sniffer working on an Adafruit ESP32-S3 TFT board, with some graphics. Well towards then end of that ESP32…

ESP32RET on an Adafruit ESP32-S3 TFT
Well, this was another one of those rabbit hole projects. I’d got myself a home grown CANbus sniffer that talked in the Lawicel format to SavvyCan and allowed me to sniff CANbus data reasonably reliably. BUT, I had to be connected to the sniffer over a serial interface and that was becoming a problem in…

Debugging the ZombieVerter WebInterface
This post is going to be: I’ll probably do a video about all of this soon, because there’s way more to see than I can realistically add as images to this post. The link to the video will appear here if I get around to it. But if you’re in the market for this kind…

Project sEVen pt8: Custom Gearbox Assembly – YOUTUBE VIDEO
Well that didn’t go quite to plan. I was hoping to take just a couple of days on this video, but in the end it was 10 or so. And therefore little progress on the actual EV project… Grrr! I started out with one intention but then realised the video didn’t make much sense. So…

Caterham SV Prop-Shaft Scan
The next in the list of things I’ve scanned is the prop-shaft from a Caterham Seven SV. It’s taken me a couple of years to get around to extracting this from the EV project car, but I need a model now to verify the CAD for the gearbox that’s being designed.

Putting the EV in Seven – Two Year Mega Update Video
Well… I finally got to the point where I realized I wasn’t going to be able to upload all the videos I’d wanted to. For the whole of my Putting the EV in Seven project, I’ve been taking video and pictures in order to put together a series of progress videos for the project. But…

Caterham 5/6 Speed Gearbox Mount Scan
As part of my Putting The EV in Seven project I needed to have a good model of the gearbox mount that Caterham used on their 5/6 speed installations. I had a partial scan of the mount with it in the car but that wasn’t going to be good enough for my needs. So… I…

Putting the EV in Seven: Progress #3, 3D Scanning the Project Car
Time for another video. This time on one of the first jobs that needed doing once the project car had been stripped down… to 3D scan what remained. A scan is an essential part of an EV conversion these days. It allows you to accurately measure all the odd angles and protrusions of the project…

Caterham SV Nose Cone Scan
Well this one was a long time coming. I’d been wanting to scan my nose cone for ages. Mainly with the intention of modeling and printing a “bracket” for the number plate – which flaps around a bit on its velcro mount. But the first thing to do was get a scan. I tried a…
