hv controller connector

pinout from HV controller

model 3/y battery uses custom versions of the LTC6812 chips for voltage sensing dubed "batman"

bms boards talk via a modified version of isospi

Damien Maguire has developed 2 different unfished approaches to communicating directly with the cell level boards:

broken isospi connector

HV controller

Model 3 High Voltage Controller

the HV controller located in the penthouse controls the PCS, contactors, pyro fuse, talks to the bms boards, etc

reading cell voltages and controlling contactors can be done by talking to the HV controller over CANbus

you can read cell temps and voltages with scanmytesla and hooking up a obd connector to the hv controller canbus

the HV matting connector is:

or https://openinverter.org/forum/download/file.php?id=21585 (dose not require msgid6f2)

libraries needed:

• due_can
• msgid6f2

make a s folder named "msgid6f2" in ardunio/libraries and put these two files there:
