My favorite two new pages:
- For the warning flashes on the dash: https://zeromanual.com/index.php/System_Warning_Sequences
- For error codes: https://zeromanual.com/index.php/Error_Codes

Each one supports deep linking to each code:
- Precharge Failure sequence: https://zeromanual.com/index.php/System_Warning_Sequences#1-4
- Precharge Failure error code: https://zeromanual.com/index.php/Error_Codes#27

Great job with the manuals Brian.  I know I speak for everyone in saying how much we appreciate it.

It is a lifesaver! Much love for the hard work on the manual man.

Takes you a lot of time, effort and knowledge keeping up-to-date and filtering all the info and non-info.

Hope you stay anthousiast at it.
How much you think you cofered there is to now about Zero stuff? Allready > 70% or still thinking: a lot is still uncovered..?

Good job!!

The more I learn, the more I realize is not covered.

I have no exposure to Zero dealership network information or diagrams. I’m building it up from corroborated hearsay or confirmable assertions.

This is why it’s weakest in the area of troubleshooting, because it’s difficult to troubleshoot an incompletely observable or documented set of systems.

There is no way that it’s comprehensive. The best one can say is that it has something to say about everything we’ve thought of and had time to try writing about.

Consider this The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Zero Motorcycles.

You have to apply some judgement and self-assessment with anything you read because it may not be written for your skill level, or just hasn’t incorporated enough background information to make full assessments.

Consider this The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Zero Motorcycles.

I like this idea. Maybe I'll put  the words 'DON'T PANIC' in large, friendly letters on the footer of the pages.
Partly because the wiki "looked insanely complicated" to operate, and partly to keep internet travellers from panicking.
:p

Yeah, the Hitchhiker's Guide aesthetic still seems like a good idea.

FYI I've finally worked out how to configure Apache so that wiki URLs actually indicate that you're on a wiki:
Main page: https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Main_Page
New troubleshooting page: https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Troubleshooting

Existing links with "index.php" in the path get redirected to the new form, so everything is backwards-compatible. I expect that it will take about a month or so for search engines to update their site indexes.

My motivations are: (1) it's easier on the eyes, and (2) people seem very unclear on this being a wiki.

I want the fact that it's a wiki constantly reinforced so that: (1) it's taken less seriously, and not confused with Zero (this happens! even with the distinctive logo) and (2) more people feel encouraged to contribute.

I followed https://zeromanual.com/wiki/How_to_build_a_cable_to_access_the_MBB.
It works with a 3V3 TTL serial converter, for instance https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/interface-development-kits/7676200/

Mine's baudrate is at 9600N1 instead of the 38400N1 from the manual.

Do we need a table of baud rates? Not sure how to format that.
