Hi everyone,


I am trying to setup my motor to output certain messages on the canbus via the web interface.

For the Motor and inverter temperature, I want to apply a +40 modifier on the temperature reading. How would this be done?

Currently I am putting in the interface 1023 0 8 1 TX. Would the modifier be applied here or somewhere else?

Also, I am trying to setup the motor to report to me what gear its currently in. I am entering the following into the web interface 1023 32 8 1 TX.
However, when I turn the car on ID 1023 shows me 00, which would indicate reverse. I would expect to see 01 for Neutral.
What am I doing wrong here?

I'll attach a screenshot of the HEX Id's I'm trying to implement. if someone could help explain to me how to enter them and for the proper field to enter them into, I would be greatly appreciative.

Wrong, neutral is 0 Reverse is -1 forward is 1. Not sure where on the wiki it should be.

Turns out offset is not in the web interface for some reason but should be configurable via SDO. https://openinverter.org/wiki/CAN_communication

You can configure offsets through the web interface but you will have to use the "Send Custom Command" button.

I've put together a map for your 0x3ff message which should do what you want: If you copy-and-paste each line above, one at a time, into the text box to the left of the "Send Custom Command" it should map that parameter. The interface comes back with a message like "CAN map successful, 1 message active". After you have done this the web interface will show the CAN mapping as being configured but not the offset value. If you go on to modify the CAN map for a parameter it will clobber your offset and you'll have to delete and reconfigure via the custom command button again.

You might want to use "rotordir" rather than "seldir" in your map depending on what the message is being used for. One is the commanded direction, the other is what is actually happening.

As Tom alluded to the tools for configuring CAN maps over CAN (ESP32 CAN Web Interface or the openinverter CAN tool) both support configuring offsets when setting up CAN maps. No need to change the tool you are using though.

Unfortunately I can't see how to configure Byte 1 in your 0x136 message. It isn't possible currently to map arbitrary parameter values to CAN message values (i.e. seldir or rotordir is [Reverse=-1, Neutral=0, 1=Forward=1] but you want [Reverse=16, Neutral=0, Forward=8]). I also don't know how to provide the regen or torque limit values. Sorry.

Edit: Here's a DBC file that decodes the mapping which might be useful.
