[Ovmsdev] Activating a sleeping Gen 1 Leaf

Can you share a capture of a Carwings wakeup on a Gen2? 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EHa4R85BttuY4JZ-EnssH4YZddpsDVu6rUFm0P7ouwg/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0 
says you send message 68c and 
http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=438109#p438109 says you send 
message 68. I'm guessing the former is correct. Neither say what the gap 
between the messages should be.

What do people use to analyze can bus captures? I've started writing a 
wireshark dissector for the leaf ev can bus which is making the messages 
easier to understand and hence the OVMS code easier to write. Of course 
I had to learn lua to do that, but hopefully it will help others too. 
I'll push it to a repo shortly.

Do you happen to know if there is there a better reference for what the 
messages mean than 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EHa4R85BttuY4JZ-EnssH4YZddpsDVu6rUFm0P7ouwg/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0 
? I've looked at various forum threads but the information is spread 
very thinly through the discussion. Other project's firmware is a little 
more information dense but harder to extract.
