[Ovmsdev] Quick update on Tazzari CAN Logs

Mark,
I can now confirm your guesses that 0x267 FF and 00 is indeed an indicator for the ignition.
And yes - your guess on the 0x165-167 is correct too - these are the voltages of the 24 cells, separated in 3 packs.
I've attached a PDF with all important values on the bus. One thing I got problems with was the Current indicator. It jumps around so quickly that I didn't had the chance to read out one exact value and determine the exact value in Hex on the bus. That's why I've attached a logfile as well in which I was charging with the 400V charger at 63-64A. I hope you can work that out as well and now have sufficient information to begin coding.

Many thanks!

Patrick

>> Seems to be B5 is 00 when driving, or FF when not. But, then again this is just a few seconds of logs - but it might be worth checking into. Perhaps it is just SOC, and was different at the time the four logs were taken, or were they taken at very similar times? Can you check that 0x267 B5 theory? I guess you'd need to see more data, and in particular a log showing the transition from car off to ignition on to driving (in one log) would be helpful.

>>> Another important thing to mention is the power supply of the port. As the Tazzari has no 12V-Battery at all it's got everything powered via DCDC-Converters. There is a tiny one for the alarm and remote key and a big one for the rest of the power such as lights, radio, etc. AND *sadface* the BMS. The BMS Port is only active while driving, charging and about 3 mins after one shuts the car off.

>>> The Baud rate is 1.000.000. The problem with the driving-idicator value is that the Port just provides BMS information. There is only an indication of the selected drive mode which doesn't reset itself to a "no mode selected" value, but instead back to one particular drive mode.

The BMS Port is only active while driving, charging and about 3 mins after one shuts the car off. Thank god we have a server that caches the last values provided by the car. As a parked car with no charging will have no changes to the SOC or other important values, it's okay, but we have to keep that in mind.

Speed, RPM, kWh usage, coolant pump, ignition status, gear selector, handbrake status, activity on the bus, etc - any one of such indicators would be fine. I am sure we can find something. If you can send us some textual logs of the vehicle driving vs parked vs charging, we may be able to find something (not necessarily something from the diagnostic tool you have, but something broadcast on the can bus periodically).

I've put together the Y-Cable-Adapter to attach the service-console as well as the USB-Interface to the Bus (see picture attached). As my dealer needs to get back his tools I borrowed, I wasn't really able to dive deeply into the messages, but I found the SOC and a charge-status that indicates whether or not the car charges. I will hopefully be able to write down all values that are provided by next week.
