Yes I'm definitely interested in figuring out the CAN codes. I'm sure I'll need help, but I could use the AC board to capture some can data, and then stream it over serial. I've got CAN working, and have tested it on a BMS I did a couple years ago based on Fran Sabolich's suggestions. I used it to send 48 battery voltages over CAN to a charger, and it worked great. The nice thing about it was, you could just blast your messages willy nilly, not caring what other CAN nodes were doing, and the people (charger) who were supposed to get the message just got the message, and the people (other battery groups) who were supposed to ignore it, ignored it!

So, if I added a CAN node to the group, I could just have a mask that says I should receive everything, and I just sit back and listen? And I should leave the spot on the board for the 120Ohm resistor unpopulated, because those 120Ohm resistors are probably somewhere else in the car already (between CANH and CANL)?
