[Ovmsdev] Add ChaDeMo and CSS to car_chargemode

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Yep, please steer clear of the car_chargermode variable. That is really badly named and is more an operation mode (like Eco/Normal on a Prius, for example). I think it is named as it is because the source on the roadster is the charger message.

I suggest:

unsigned char car_chargeplug;

and setup an enumeration as desired. Create it in ovms.{h,c} and then add it on the end of the ’S’ message.

If someone wants to commit that and send in a pull request, I’ll accept (and update the protocol guide myself).

Regards, Mark.

So, you can't encode both a charging profile and a connection type with a single number. A Leaf is similar in how those two interact.
