    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    OBDLink devices can get around/up to 1000 packets per second with Scan My Tesla. The Model 3 sends around 2000 packets on that bus, I suppose similar for Plaid, so you're missing about half.

    Canbus Analyzer was built by me to support Scan My Tesla. SavvyCan I don't know well enough, but I thought I had seen it support Scan My Tesla files a while ago. Maybe ask the SavvyCan developer, maybe it's a bug or unintended regression in later versions?

    Tesla Thermal Management System - explanation

    The only source I have is Teslabjørn running Scan My Tesla. Whenever he turns the heat on, battery coolant temperature drops to below current battery temperature. I assume the opposite will happen in warm weather. I think I've seen schematics confirming this property, but I can't remember the...

    Tesla Thermal Management System - explanation

    I think you may be missing the point that Tesla heat pumps are liquid-to-liquid

    On this topic, we have emailed a bit, and the app seems to get a lot of useful information on the Plaid. Jay sent me some screenshots, maybe you want to share it here too? It seems to me at first glance that all this stuff works when selecting Model 3: - All battery stats, capacity...

    I have no easy answer to 12v battery health, you can see the voltage and amps from the DC-DC converter, not isolated to the 12v battery, if you turn off all 12v accessories you should be able to make out how many amps it's charging, and at what voltage. But no easy '12v health' readings...

    Plaid and Palladium is still very new for us. I don't have all the facts straight yet, but I am pretty sure that a) you need a specially built cable, as the buses have moved from where they used to be b) you will get some info by choosing model 3/Y in the app, but I'm not sure how much works and...

    Fun project, concept: playseat, play AAA simracing PC games in VR with Quest2 from inside the car

    No, the first 3 bytes are the can ID's. To be clear, does the same device and wiring work with scan my tesla? If so, we know the adapter works for this task, and your wiring is correct. If so, try this: Do an ATMA first. That lets the obd2 adapter auto detect the bus speed and type. It may be...

    Fun project, concept: playseat, play AAA simracing PC games in VR with Quest2 from inside the car

    297 decimal = 129 hex (don't ask why it's being mixed, it's DBC format standard I think) If you now say ATCF 129, then ATCM 7FF. I forget which is which, but I don't think it matters. 7FF because that's 11 bit which is the number of ID bits in this type of bus. ATMA after this should give you...

    We could add steering wheel to the Teslalogger list, but Teslalogger does a lot of data compression and discarding to not overfill the Raspberry Pi with too much similar data. So I don't think that would work for what you're trying to achieve. Look up JWardell's DBC file, there all the...

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    Yes, it's the timeless dilemma. OBDLINK is the only device fast enough to give smooth screen updates. Cheaper ELM's will give you less headache, but also choppy updates and choppy logs. OBDLINK is working on solving this, for years now. I hope one day they will be able to fix it with firmware...

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    No you are right, some Model S/X harnesses will leave the OBD2 constantly powered, which is completely unneccessary IMO, as there will be no data in there. Same as any other accessory pulling 12v current, your high voltage battery will have to wake up more often and recharge the 12v battery. So...

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    Maybe I'm wrong, I thought the sleep/deep sleep settings were in that app. At least there are AT commands for it, I had two people with issues (probably on a certain firmware or batch of OBDLINKs) that had the deep sleep enabled, it would never wake up again, according to OBDLINK support because...

    Does that help with the OBDLINK hangup issue? I have always just left it on. But yeah it's a good idea, especially if you had turned it off & forgot, the app will just not work, and not give you good hints about why. It should just turn it on automatically.

    Vendor Scan My Tesla, a CANBUS reader for Android

    There is a 2-step answer to this: 1. Check if your OBD adapter loses power when the car goes to deep sleep. This depends on who built your cable, EMDS cables do this, other vendors not 100% sure. If it loses power (goes completely black) you can be sure it will have no ill-effects to leave it...
