nlc,

Your contribution to EVs is much appreciated and making the protocol open is also commendable.

I have one question.

In the light of the "bricking" of the Tesla which is caused by leaving your vehicle alone for a long period of time with no way of "turning off" the drain on the traction pack, is there any state of the slave board where it does not drain any power? Can you "turn it off"?

This is the one characteristic that the slave board that is powered by the mother board that would enable total power off of the vehicle.

EDIT: sorry, that was a very poorly constructed English sentence.

Thanks, and great work in miniaturizing your slave board.

Eric
