MQB & MLB Can log Request - For Zombieverter Comm Additions

Post by Mitchy »

Hey All.

Wondering if anyone has any sources for a MQB and MLB canlogs.
I have the DBC files already, but just looking for some examples to work with to write a Zombieverter CAN plugin for MQB and MLB models.
Lots of shared addresses between these two, as well as the Porsche 9x1/Macan. I've got the 9x1 codebase pretty much ported over as a start.

Overall there'll likely be a unified 2010 VAG selection, with switches to choose the MQB/MLB/9x1 implementations.

I don't intend the code to be elegant, but it'll be a good basis for refinement for the community to work on.

Will be a while, but I'm waiting to see what Damien hacks up with his CAN data logger and getting one asap.

Got savvycan running with wifican @uhi22. Crocodile clip arrived. I'll see if it can be used for CAN logs. I tried it on a bench setup cluster and the data seems identical to the hardwire setup with wifican.
Edit - my crocodile clip is not yet operational. The data I'm seeing is from the hard wire setup.
Edit - 2, Got another Canadapter board on its way to connect independently to my bench setup and see what the crocodile says 🤞

Trying in another thread.... Capturing CAN data sent with VCDS and then playing it back (blinking LED on charger flap), I can't get the LED to blink. Are the magic bytes required when playing back CAN data? I tried it with the lock actuator too.....

Is it clear which of the CAN busses is of most interest? AFAIR there are multiple, like engine CAN, body CAN.
And do we know where contact them?

For myself I suspect only the powertrain can is required but I have revived an old thread from 2023, not sure if Mitchy answered his question or not.
