Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

Yeah Its working on my bench setup,
I'll take another look over the weekend, just need to finish another project with my bench powersupply.
I'll grab a CAN log of the charge session initialization as well.

The teensy codebase is messy, as the first one I uploaded contained just = in the if ...

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

If the simulate question was for me, it's not required
It was included just to mock having 400v applied, as I was bench testing with just a dummy load.

As for the parameters, Haven't looked at your codebase, but many of the ones I have mapped aren't needed.
I do suggest migrating to the ESP32 CAN ...

JLR iBSG (Valeo) - With DBC

While searching for DBC files, I stumbled across this university team using the iBSG from Valeo.
Their DBC seems to indicate that it's a JLR based unit - Likely from the X8578 - F-Pace Mild Hybrid.

They were sponsored by Valeo, so it makes sense the DBC came thru that route.

Re: Zombieverter as CAN bridge

You may find the Teensy to be a more fitting processor for a bridge/router, Hard to ignore the horsepower of that chip. Plus there are a ton of Can Libraries to leverage.

For a more official device, the https://www.mrs-electronics.com/products/detail/can-gateway-module seems interesting as well.

Re: MLBevo Charger- 11kw & 22kw Info

A lot of the values being sent to the charger are similar enough that with the limited data, I end up copying the value into the various CAN messages.
The thing is that some use different scaling. I think that's where most of the copying values originates from.
There may be some back and forth ...

Check your output voltage is above 300v
Sounds like how my unit was acting when I didn’t have a high enough resistance load and a low wattage EVSC wall plug.
After a duration the unit shuts down on low output voltage.
I think the limit is somewhere around 250v

Use the magic bytes from Damien,
The bytes change depending on the generation of chassis,
The Bytes and signaling for the 11kw chargers are for the MLBevo generation, while the 3.6 and 7.2kw chargers are likely based on the MQB generation.

But there may be some crossover or charger firmware ...

Re: 981 Boxster Electric Power Steering

That makes sense, I guess they don't care too much on Motor RPM after the start signal, as any loss in motor RPM would immediately kill the power assist, which likely isn't ideal.

0x100 is ESP_01 - Sent at 20ms intervals - Has CRC - Magic Byte 0x01, this has Stability Control Status signals.

In your sketch, some of the ids are in decimal, but notated as hex.
for instance your BEM_05 has a ID of 0x869, but it should be either 869 (decimal) or 0x365 (hex)

Had some example code on the forum already:

may also be worthwhile setting bMO_Motor_runs to 1

Re: VW GTE 3.6Kw charger 5QE 915 682 AF

Just checked my notes and confirmed, the resistances should all be tied to sensor ground.
All the resistances are variable, so a high (+12V) or low (Grounded) state will likely trigger a fault.

Hopefully no damage is done to the sense circuits for the lock signals, etc... I'd assume they're all 12V ...
