Welcome to the club!I found this great thread late last night, and just finished reading it all. We just traded a Tesla last week for a 4xE to use as a new tow car behind the RV. I have a beaglebone CAN logger I built to log messages in the Tesla several years ago. I'll dig it out and start logging too!
Am I reading this correctly that the BeagleBone boards (except for the AI version) actually DO support two CAN bus connections? (I'm asking because I want to believe that Tesla is like most manufacturers and only a single CAN bus design. Jeep/Chysler/Dodge/Fiat is the oddball here.)
After giving it some more thought, I'm going to freely distribute the HVAC code. I think I'll work with RedRacer and see if I can't get the right ensemble of scripts available over at GitHub. If someone else wants to turn it into a commercial product, I'd settle for a conspicuous mention or acknolwedgement.Josh, I can't wait to try your HVAC script in the 4xE.
I'm really surprised how far I managed to get with simple shell script. Not only has it been easy to read and write to the CAN bus, but creating multi-threaded code was extraordinarily simple, too.
You may be better off going with a Tazer which has a built-in Brake Hold feature (among other things). It works but it can be just a little bit touchy in unexpected ways. For example, unclick your seatbelt and you lose brake hold. That was a surprise to me. But once you have a Tazer, there's always the possibility that you could sniff what it is doing, and produce your own behavior that works even better.I'd really like to see if there's a way to implement brake-hold like in a tesla, but I'd probably want a junker brake module to test anything like that with.
