DIY EV Part 4 - Reading the CAN Bus part 4 - Controlling the Dash.

Please check out the links below.
They are affiliate links so I will receive a few cents if you make a purchase but you won't pay any extra.
Thank you for your support.

In this video I cut the Dash CAN Bus cables so that I can connect directly to it. This means I don't have the ECU firing data continuously causing conflicts.
I can also confirm what is analogue and so won't need CAN signals to control.

The CANHacker software is available here.
https://www.mictronics.de/
Copy and paste the URL above, click on Archive, scroll down and click on USB-CAN Bus Interface. Click on Canhacker v2.00.01 to download it.
NOTE! If the link comes up as "Forbidden" try copying and pasting the URL into your browser or Google mictronics. Or just try refreshing the screen might work.

The sketch for it is here
https://github.com/autowp/can-usb

Libraries and connection diagrams for it are here
https://github.com/autowp/arduino-mcp...
https://github.com/autowp/arduino-can...

After installing the libraries you may have to edit the canhacker.h file to match the clock speed of your MCP2515 adapter. Mine is an 8Mhz adapter and the default is 16Mhz.

If you bought a Nano from eBay you may need to select Nano then select ATmega328P(Old Bootloader) to get the sketch to upload.

If you get nothing on the CANHacker software
1. Double check you are using the correct CANbus speed for your car.
2. Check the baud rate of the Serial port is correct.
3. Check in the settings that "Listen Only" is UNTICKED.

18650 Cells
If you are looking for 18650 cells to build a battery pack here is where I buy mine. I have always used LiitoKala cells and found them to be good quality.
Note the Name brand cells are copies, they are NOT genuine but do have similar properties to the original and are still excellent batteries.

Also note LiitoKala have several shops on Aliexpress with slightly different names but the products are all the same.
