Marc Lainez and Thibault Poncelet from Spin 42 share their journey of retrofitting a Volkswagen Polo to run on an electric motor from a Nissan Leaf, using Elixir and the Nerves framework. They aim to make automotive systems more accessible and open-source by leveraging Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards connected with custom software and hardware solutions. They delve into challenges including reverse-engineering CAN (Controller Area Network) messages, creating custom mechanical components, and addressing hardware interfacing issues. This project stands as a testament to the versatility of Elixir in non-web applications and embedded systems, particularly in automotive innovations.
