Re: Connecting Foccci
Hi, sorry to hear this.
Seems we have some inconsistent information about the intended supply voltage range.
The protector diode (U5, TVS, SMAJ16A) is designed for operating voltages up to 16V, will start current draw between 18V and 20V. Data sheet: https://www.littelfuse.com/assetdocs/tvs-diodes ...

Re: Energy Controller including CCS interface
Added the feature "pretended cable check". It can be configured to be
"no", so doing a real HV cable check (option A above) or
"yes", which just does nothing but reports "cable is ok".

Re: Energy Controller including CCS interface
Do you use a voltage measurement board, to give the beaglebone the possibility to know the physical voltage? If not, then turning on the boost converter during cable check does not make sense, because we can anyway not measure the voltage. So option B is the way to go.

That is half-way good news. Congratulations that you got it running so far.
The error message comes from the situation, that during cable check we want to apply a voltage to the HV pins, and physically want to read back this voltage. This is to confirm that there is no shortcut between DC+ and DC ...

Re: Energy Controller including CCS interface
Ah, das ist die Variante mit dem Buck-Converter. Der Aufdruck "5V" ist falsch. An dem Pin kann man extern Spannung einspeisen, 7 bis 20V (die geht dann über D11 zum Buck-Converter, der 5V draus macht). Wenn man die ganze Baugruppe aber eh mit 5V versorgt, also 5V an P9_5, ist die Einspeisung an ...

This depends on the board version. I only have a quite old board, this has the "VCC" of the phoenix connector connected to the 5V line.

Re: Drawing power out of CCS port (V2x, inverse charging, bidirectional CCS)
Sounds like 80 cells (16*5).
The ground fault is strange. Does the inverter produce lot of high frequency AC swing on the DC lines? Then maybe the capacitance between battery and chassis leads to AC current. You could make some experiments with the Touran, adding some nano or microfarads between DC ...

Which target current? No idea where negative Target current should come from, hmm.
Congratulations for the ID.4 success, hopefully you can trick it to play, and it is not too nervous about negative charging currents.

Just for the records: Some guy recorded pcap files while running Chinese Elejoy CCS-to-AC adaptor. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8602625/
Not a big surprise, they are also using the good old DIN spec like we do with pyPLC.

Re: Open source CCS using AR7420
The only way to find out whether this adapter works is to try. I see the risk that the fast adapters use a different, incompatible chipset.
Using 3 PLC nodems on one CP line works, but sniffing the complete traffic does not. The sniffer only forwards the broadcast traffic (first SDP) but nothing ...

Re: Energy Controller including CCS interface
Success on the Ioniq (not a big surprise
).
But how to stop it? Suddenly noticed that I have no stop button, neither in the car nor on the discharge box. Finally pulled the banana plug of the CP line, this worked as intended.

Re: Comm Required on some public slow chargers?
This looks like out of spec. For starting the high level communication with the car, the charger shall apply 5% PWM, and only then the car shall send the slac request. With 50% PWM the car shall use classic low level comm only.
