CAN mapping - Derate motor / brake / reverse light output through VCU

Post by RelikEV »

Hi,

We're looking to set up our VCU with the Tesla SDU, we have the openinverter board installed and spinning now but our next challenge is simply getting the functions of Brake / reverse light output signals via CAN to our VCU and also VCU communication to the motor to derate if the BMS has faults.

I'm a total beginner with Openinverter so would appreciate any and all help someone may be able to give to support me in this journey - i'm basically unsure of what paramters i need to adjust or send via the can mapping option which would do the parts i've asked

Thanks in advanced, Jamie
