Re: Tesla Charger alternative firmware


I need help restoring my internal CAN messages for the Tesla Gen 2 charger. I sort of deleted all my CAN messages, and the charger won't work. I am using the new UI, so I cannot find a setting to restore the default CAN messages needed to make the charger work.


I solved this by reinstalling the ...

Re: Sending Custom CAN messages from SDU openinverter board


Thanks for your note. I have deleted all CAN mapping and tried for just the sole inverter temp and get nothing. Both by a direct entry in the table, and as a command. You're right, that is the only gauge I'm running for temperature around the motor.

Time to get it up on the rack and dig into the ...

Re: Sending Custom CAN messages from SDU openinverter board

Hi,
Thanks for the input.
I tried the above; putting it on the bus with other CAN transmitters but I did not receive any messages. I only received messages from the other sources I e ABS, instrument cluster but none from the SDU.

Re: Sending Custom CAN messages from SDU openinverter board


Measure you CAN network with everything off, it needs to read 60 ohm thus 2x120 ohm terminating resistors present.


Thanks,
I measured and I got 60ohms as stated above. I also confirmed that I have the 2x120 ohms.

For context, I am using an Arduino Nano with an MCP2515 running the script below ...

Re: Sending Custom CAN messages from SDU openinverter board

Just bumping this thread as I never got help.

I really need help reading these CAN messages.

If I am connecting the SDU directly to an MC2515, do I need the terminating resistor?
