Very proud to have been invited by @figaroowners to debut the Fig-Leaf at the 30th Figaro Anniversary Event. Thank you to everyone involved, it was a great experience and a real joy to meet so many enthusiastic Figaro owners and their beautiful cars. #opensource #ElectricVehicles

@FiachraCooke @PatDowney17 @NewElectricTRNG @PatDowney17 There are companies manufacturing CAN based controllers if you want warranties from an electronics standpoint, but when it comes to trying new things and learning how everything works I couldn’t recommend getting involved with the openinverter community enough!

@mikehaynes58 @NewElectricDIY @IrishEVs @NewElectricTRNG @FiachraCooke Not if you do it yourself. @NewElectricTRNG gave people like myself, @FiachraCooke, @jcwright45 and many more the training to help develop our own solutions to make our cars electric without breaking the bank and hopefully do a bit of environmental good along the way.

@engineers_feed The Nokia 8890. The titanium colour body and elegant lines were way ahead of their time. It was functionally useless by today’s standards but a real masterpiece of design

Modern and older cars it’s still the same procedure. The most common software is SavvyCAN or CANHacker

@kate_tyrrell @NewElectricDIY I love his “well I’ll just buy 2 abacuses so I’ll never run out” logic. Flawless 🧮 🧮

@jamiejones85 Outstanding Jamie! Nothing ahead of you but open road 👏👏👏

@bookofthefuture We met classicline insurance at the 30th Figaro Anniversary event and they said they’d consider insuring an EV conversion. May be worth a try if all else fails?

[Project Fig-Leaf @projectfigleaf]

@bookofthefuture Interesting! Thanks for that, I tried the same firmware with a V1D board and the resolver signal was completely scrambled. Will give 4.95 a go 👍

@nextecocar @NewElectricTRNG @KevinSharpe59 @NewstalkFM @FiachraCooke Would strongly recommend speaking with @knox_ev. Steve is converting his RX8using a Lexus GS-450H drive system. Hopefully it will be taking its first spin this week 🤞

@NewElectricTRNG It was an incredible day and sincere thanks to @figaroowners for inviting us. Over the moon with all the interest and this project would never have been possible without the incredible training provided by @NewElectricTRNG!
