Hello,

I got a 72A 1 Phase 3rd gen charger from a Model X.
I am planning on using it to charge my battery bank.
The idea is to use a openevse for the AC side and simulate the car CAN packgages for charge request and interlock.

Does anybody have CAN id's related to the charger?
I plan to export the pinout of the molex 20 pin connector that goes to the car as soon as I de solder the 3 phases PCB and get access to the JTAG in the control board.
Also what is a good way to take high resolution captures of the PCBA for upload?
I have a 12MP cellphone camera but was wondering if maybe scanning the circuits was better?

Below are the two videos I got of the unboxing and where I left dissasembling it.
I need to desolder the 3 phases since the inductor are epoxy to the metal case :(

Search on EVTV, they are working hard with the TESLA CAN comm.

Thanks I heard that on their latest video.
I did not know they had a forum.
I was planning on calling their shop directly Monday when they open.
