Hello,

I'm trying to run your program. What connections do you have to OBC apart from GND/+12V and PT CAN?

I had it connected to a charge socket as well, most important things on the charge port is the temperature sensors. Or you can fake it with a resistor. If you code out the locking motor on the charger you don't need to connect that. It will also want CP and PP from the charge socket.

I have had it running on a Zombie now, it does work but the current ramping isn't very smooth near the end of the charge. It could probably also do with a better way to read when to go into charge mode. Code is on my github if you wanted to have a look.

Thanks, will give it a try. I will try to run it on the bench without a VW socket so I'll have to trick the OBC. I guess I'll have to find where the charge port temperature sensors are connected to the OBC.

The pin out is the same across all MEB/MLBevo chagers. Damien has a useful github with the pinouts on.

The MEB chargers thread also has some useful information on connector part numbers I think.

Will try to upload to a more suitable host in the future
Can you reupload please? The file is down.

I am starting now also to get my charger running. I put all the information in this posts into the Wiki: https://openinverter.org/wiki/VAG_MLBevo_MQB_Chargers
