So.... After I thought that my tesla charger works, now it shows fault on the 2 out of 3 inverers that I thought were running. They were only pushing about 1.8 amps and after about 2 hours I got "fault" error on the 2 working inverters.
I am looking now for a 3.3.or 6.6kw Chinese charger on Aliexpress.

This weekend if I have time I will try my 9mm tool and if that does not work I will move to the 308 tool. it is frustrating when you spent 700-800$ on this setup.
The boys are trained on all tools, but my daughter needs to start training on the 9mm.

Octavius convinced me to check again before I used my metric tool and found out that this AC switch went out.

Now it is charging with 4 amps I tried to go higher but the inverter contractors keep going on and off. for now is good because is a thin AC cable and it is only 120V.

at least I am finally charging the battery.

on 120v ac if you pull more than 10amps AC, the voltage drops so low that the charger resets itself, and tries again.

Nice to see the battery charging.
Now that I know the slowness on the screen was caused by the baud rate, I need to add some info back.

If anybody can spot what config is wrong but I am not getting offthrotregen or any brakeregen when I press the brake pedal.

I just connected the wire from the brake switch and when I push the brake pedal the din_brake is ON

The settings Johu has in the Parameter video are not the same with what I see on the screen.

I used Alibros video to create a CAN adapter? in a compact version, to work with Savvycan.

Alibro uses the bigger 3.3v Can board and I used the smaller one , so it can fit in the 3D printed box.
The small board is powered directly from the ESP 32, and the ESP32 is getting power from the computer via the USBC cable.

I realized that I need to buy an ISA shunt. not sure how to set it up yet but it is sending out some IDs, so I guess it works.

Still cannot figure out regen braking

If anybody has any idea how to make it work please let me know.
