Get Your VCU Tuned Right.

The smartest config generator for ZombieVerter and OpenInverter VCUs — AI-powered parameter validation, cloud backup, and multi-vehicle management. No more forum diving. No more guesswork.

0 configs generated
0 parameters validated

80+ Parameters. No Manual.

The controller web UI has a "Load Parameters" button — but what do you actually put in there?

🤔

What is "potmin"?

Cryptic parameter names with zero explanation. Set it wrong and your motor doesn't move.

🔧

Hours of Forum Diving

Searching the openinverter forum for that one thread where someone had the same issue.

🔥

Weird Motor Behavior

Wrong regen settings, throttle glitches, contactor chatter — all from one wrong number.

★★★★★

"Never thought I'd say this about a config file, but this thing saved me hours. The parameter explanations alone are worth the sub."

Nissan Leaf EV Conversion

★★★★★

"Went from a bricked motor to driving in one weekend. The health check caught a regen setting that would've burned my contactor."

★★★★★

"I manage configs for three different builds. Multi-vehicle is a lifesaver — no more mixing up my Leaf and my Tesla motor params."

FAQ

Do I need to flash new firmware?

Nope! If you already have the controller firmware loaded, you just go to the Web UI → Parameters page → "Load Parameters from File" → select your downloaded file → "Save Parameters to Flash". That's it.

What if my config doesn't work?

We'll fix it for free. Send us what you're seeing and we'll correct the config. The unlimited plan gives you room to iterate your tuning as you dial things in.

Do I need technical knowledge?

Some basic knowledge helps (what inverter you have, your battery voltage, etc.), but we explain how to find every value. No parameter expertise required.

What about the fork of Damien's latest firmware?

Our configs work with the standard ZombieVerter firmware v2.40A and above. If you're on a fork with custom parameters, you may need additional support — contact us.

Can I use the API with my own tools?

Absolutely! Every subscriber gets an API key for programmatic access. Save, load, and analyze configs from your own scripts. Check the API docs for details.
