Hey, thanks for that info.Hallo. Habe Interesse an dem ESP32-Code. Könnte dann über WiFi auch Daten vom Ladezustand abfregen. Gruß, Werner
I ordered the Elcons with the following configuration:
Battery type: Lithium-ion
Cells in series: 28
Nominal voltage: 3,7V
The rest irrelevant. I recommend adding a note "For Zero motorcycle" cause the guy at evcomponents knows the Zeros. Also you have to decide if you want the charger to be preprogrammed (then the config can't be changed), or if you want it changable via CAN. I had to wait forever to get my chargers from evcomponents though..
I have code for a controller using an ESP32 instead of an Arduino. With my code, you can change the charging current and voltage, if anyone wants that
Hi RemmieHello. I also recreated this great thing. had problems with canfeather. already tried everything and then simply (as you wrote) set the baud rate to 1000 in the sketch. then it works. is of course not the right solution.
I know this is a while ago but what chip was on SKPang board as the link is broken and the SKPang feather now has a SN65HVD231 CAN transceiver.
Trouble is that is runs at 16mhz and I beleive the Zero runs at 8Mhz, can you confirm.
I can read data with an MCP2515 set to 500KBPS and 8MHZ but I was hoping on using an esp32 feather.
I considered switching to an Arduino, as an Arduino is a heck of a lot smaller than a Raspberry Pi, and it can live on straight +12VDC.
However, I'd need to code in C, which would suck, and there's confusion about what Bluetooth and CANBUS "shields" are compatible with which flavor of Arduino. Maybe some day when I get bored again.
Well, I hope this is interesting and/or useful to somebody out there. Enjoy.
Hi CrashCash
Great work!!
If you're looking at arduino, consider looking into the Leonardo CANBUS board from hobbytronics. It acts as an arduino and has CAN capability and 12V to 5V converter all on a very small PCB. I used it on my Flatpack S quad charger to set the voltage and current (also via CANbus) and it works perfectly.
I imagine it just would take a Bluetooth module or an LCD or OLED display to be able to show the data in real time.
