Re: New Tesla charger board

I've had a little more of a play tonight, and I think it's starting to make sense. (Thanks Kevin) Regardless of the position of the DIP switch, my TWC, upon detecting a vehicle, will start generating a 1kHz 5% Duty Cycle PWM signal ('Digital Comms'). It will generate this for about 3 seconds, and th...

Thanks.

What does IEC61851 define as digital comms? I believe it is ISO 15118-3 HomePlug Green PHY for talking to DC fast chargers.

Re: New Tesla charger board

I'll see if I can get a Oscilloscope trace and post it, but as per my post above: As promised, this is what a charging session between a Model 3 and TWC 4.5.3 looks like: 6sec.png Charger idle @ 12V. Plug Inserted @ approx 700mS. Signal pulled down to 9V by car's 2.74k resistor ('Vehicle detected')...

Re: New Tesla charger board

That would make sense, I know a lot of commercial sites that deployed TWC were unhappy with the incompatibility with non Tesla cars. Yes, I think the intent is to make it compatible, but practice is a different thing. My father has a Hyundai Kona - It refuses to charge from my TWC running 4.5.3. Ho...

Re: New Tesla charger board

Kevin, From what I can understand, different firmware on the TWC behave in different ways. I'm running what I believe is the latest (for Gen 2) 4.5.3. In 4.5.3, the DIP switch doesn't appear to do anything. With an oscilloscope on the CP when a Tesla is connected, shows it talks in SWCAN mode regard...

Re: New Tesla charger board

Quick progress update:
Over the weekend, I wrote some code to decode many of the SWCAN messages:

Just need to work out now how to get a TWC to switch to SWCAN mode.

Re: New Tesla charger board

Thanks Damien.

I'll continue to see if I can work out how to enter SWCAN Mode.

Attached is some of the CAN IDs and packets I see between a TWC and a Model 3.

Re: New Tesla charger board

Just a little heads up on a new version of the Gen 2 and Gen 3 charger boards under development. They will feature the ability to switch the pilot signal between standard J1772 protocol and SWCAN. I was donated a Tesla wall connector that finally got installed last week. These can be set to "T...
