Tesla Giraffe
From Tinkla: Tinkering with Tesla
The Tesla Giraffe rev. B was created by @appleguru.
On top of creating the right pin connections between Panda and the approproate Tesla CAN Bus, it has a number of other nice features:
- automatically connects EPAS conenctor back to Chassis CAN bus when no Panda is present
- offers connector for CAN2 on Panda which is used for Tesla Bosch Radar
- has 12V power out which can be used to power the Tesla Bosch Radar via relay
- has the Comma RJ45 FakeEthernet CAN connector to connect the Comma Pedal
- has 8 GPIO outputs that can be used to drive certain other accessories; the 8th GPIO is used in our Panda firmware for "ignition power" which can be used to drive the relay needed for Tesla Bosch Radar power
