[Ovmsdev] Hacking TPMS

Tue May 19 15:58:03 HKT 2020

Jaunius,

The board will look like this (pcb layout for the first few samples):

I’ve tried to make it as generic as possible.

SW1 is a four position switch
#0 - no connection (with test point that can inject custom voltage if required)
#1 - USB 5v. Bus is powered with 5v from the USB (useful for bench testing)
#2 - LDO 5v. Bus is powered with 5v using a LDO to regulate down vehicle 12v power
#3 - 12v. Bus is powered from vehicle 12v

S1 is a on/off switch. When on, it adds a diode+resistor to the K-Line (which is required by some cars for K-line tools being master).

Test points everywhere, to help debugging

For roadster, SW1 is #2 and S1 is off.

It is exposed to the ESP32 as an async port, at 3.3v levels. But the transceiver handles the bus at 5v or 12v. It works with K-line, and should also work with LIN, if required. EGPIO8 is used to enabled/disable the transceiver (normally disabled).

Regards, Mark.

P.S. Circuit schematic attached.

This board will include a jumpered option for K-line master (one diode + one resistor), as well as jumpered powered selection (5v from usb, 5v regulated from car 12v, or direct car 12v) for the K-line bus.

The screenshot shows OVMS sending a 19 byte request to the ECU (0x0f 0x04 .... 0xf0) and the ECU responding 19 bytes (0x0f 0x05 ... 0xf0) with the 4 tyre IDs. There is a similar command to re-program the ECU with new IDs.

>> tpms status - show status of the system
>> tpms list - list tyre id sets in config
