I wanted to share a detailed writeup that I've made that shows how to connect Board A0 to the Tesla Wall Connector: Andy Schroder - Distributed Charge: Connecting The Tesla Gen2 Wall Connector To Distributed Charge Board A0 . I now have some additional information on how Distributed Charge...

I'd like to announce Distributed Charge [beta] Board A0: Andy Schroder - Distributed Charge: [beta] Board A0, The First Building Block of a Bitcoin Lightning Network Enabled Energy Grid . Board A0 coupled with a TOFU raspberry pi compute module 4 carrier board provides a super clean...

I am running the android app with version 4.4.0-810-810. I'd like to point out that in addition to not displaying distance units consistent with the car's settings, it also displays arbitrary temperature units. I have my car set to km but the phone app shows miles. I have the car set to Celsius...

The problem this fixes is vendor lock in and annoying account setups from the car owner's side. From the property owner's side, this can dramatically reduce the barrier to entry of setting up a charge station, which will allow them to generate revenue and help build out the infrastructure needed...

The new partition I created with a fat32 filesystem "seems" to be working after a few days of use. Definitely a shame that ext4 no longer works. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Also, this new dash cam viewer seems super glitchy. Videos will just jump around forward in backward in time during...

So, I tried using dashcam about 18 minutes into my drive to work this morning. It did not work again. Sentry mode also did not work, even though it said events were detected after sitting in parking lots. I checked the disk this evening on my computer. Interestingly, the userID is now back to...

I did not want to re-format and loose all my video recordings, and, as mentioned above, didn't want to use fat32. What I did try to do is rename the TeslaCam folder to TeslaCam-old, then create a new TeslaCam folder. This appears to be working, so now I'm not sure if the issue had anything to...

Yes, definitely no fiat money involved. Fees are non-zero though. As your payment is routed through the lightning network, very small fees are paid at each hop. You also need to pay a fee to initially open payment channels in the lightning network. If you regularly used the same charger, you...

I've modified my tesla model 3 and wall connector to make bitcoin payments for electrical energy using the existing data communication wires inside the charge cable. Payments are made for each 25 W*hour of energy over the bitcoin lightning network. This results in a payment being made every 16...

In version 2020.24.6.4 Dashcam and Sentry are not recording. It also did not work in the last version that I had that introduced the video viewer. I didn't write down that software version because I was "hoping" it would just start working again with the next upgrade, but it does not. In the...

Doesn't seem like "parking" of the wipers reduced noise by any amount that I am able to distinguish.

The wiper was definitely hitting the post. Probably was always this way, I just didn't notice it because I was not paying attention to the wipers as much. The "Deep Rain" seems to have made things worse, so that's why I was paying more attention. Today I went ahead and adjusted by undoing the...
