indeed, am familiar with the efforts there.  the goal here is to expand on those efforts and create a generalized Battery Management  Controller, similar to the GEVCU project that works with multiple Battery Management Systems in an open, testable, verifiable way.  More eyes make for more robust code, especially something as safety critical as a Battery Management Controller - GeBMCU?

in fact, the goal is to be able to run the Battery Management Controller on hardware available from EVTV - they offer a number of components with some great features and specs.

cheers

Interessing project ..

at least for the Tesla Batteries such an arduino based device is ready for use ... see EVTV
