LIN Control
- no timers, counters or CRC are needed, but there is a delay of about 3 seconds until settings are applied
- Bytes 2E and 2F contain the control messages, 3A has the responses
- Control is in byte 0+1 of 0x2E Scaling = x25 Little endian So if you want 20% power you need to send decimal 500 which is hex 01F4 So then Byte 0 = 0xF4 and Byte 1 = 0x01 Byte 4 looks to be on/off with 0x96 = ON and 0x00 = Off but it does not fully turn off. I kept seeing a current draw on the bench power supply of 0,07A at 300V. When requesting power 0% this does drop to 0A.
- Feedback Message 0x3A Byte 5 and 6 contain the actual consumption in W as little endian. So if Byte 5 = CF and Byte 6 = 04 that is 04CF in hex which is 1,2 kW.
- Below about 250V it stops working. Then 0x3A sends 00 00 00 08 00 00 00 20
- Above 150 degrees it stops working. Then 0x3A sends 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 20
