I did some hardware and software to control the J1772 EVSE in a "smart" way. In particular, I wanted the ability to do a timer.
All the details of what I wanted: http://www.corbinstreehouse.com/blog/2012/11/electric-bug-charger-control-what-i-want/ And implementing it: http://www.corbinstreehouse.com/blog/2012/11/electric-bug-charger-control-design/ Also, on DIY: http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/showthread.php/j1772-implementation-manzanita-charger-control-and-80744.html corbin On Mar 22, 2013, at 7:33 PM, Bruce EVangel Parmenter <[email protected]> wrote: > I hope drivers that have added-on/upgraded to have a j1772 charging > ability will post what and where they bought their components and give > their comments. > > Using a j1772 is going to be more involved than just plugging into a > (dumb) outlet.
