Sources for the Parts used in our LEAF CAN Projects
Note 1. Always check stock before ordering.
Note 2: Sometimes Shipping and Handling charges can be substantial.
Note 3: Ordering in quantity for your Local LEAF Cluster or Branch might help.
-----------------
1. 7-Segment Serial Display: 4 character, 10mm high, about $13 each.
Very easy to interface via a TTL RS232 one-pin interface, plus 5v and Gnd.
Yellow - COM-09764
Blue - COM-09765
Red - COM-09766
Kelly Green - COM-09767
We are using a Red and Blue unit, but ordered all four types from this source.
2. AVR-CAN Development Board, 16 MHz by Olimex, about $55 each.
The number of in-stock units tends to vary.
Not this slower 8 MHz AVR-CAN-HB version.
Development Board for AT90CAN128 - AVR-CAN
SparkFun sku: DEV-08279
We are using boards ordered from this source.
Development Boards & Kits - AVR DEV BRD FOR AT90CAN128
Mouser Part Number: 909-AVR-CAN
We are using boards ordered from this source.
3. HI-SPEED USB TO 4 PORT SERIAL RS232 ADAPTER, about $55
EasySync USB2-H-1004
Note: USA Orders often/might ship from Portland, OR.
We are using a unit ordered from this source.
4. OBD Cables, 16-wire, 6-foot cable, right-angle male OBD connector, about $13
Note: Molded OBD connectors are probably the easiest and safest to plug into your LEAF's existing female OBD connector, located above the driver's left shin. Using a cable with exposed wires or pins that might short on something (or each other) COULD disable the car!
SAFETY: Routing the cable so that it cannot interfere, even accidently with the driver's tasks or the car's controls is VERY IMPORTANT.
OBD2cables Part number: 142601 (currently on sale)
Type B, OBD2cables PN 144507
The "Type B" means that the plastic "fin" (that divides one row of pins from the other row) has a notch in the center, at the pin 4 and pin 5 position.
5. Toggle Switches:
The SOC-Meter has an option to use one or two switches:
A. One on-off-on SPDT mini-switch for - Power On/Off/Automatic
B. One DPDT mini-switch for - EV/CAR CAN-buss Selector
6. Pushbutton Switches: momentary on, normally open, miniature, panel mount
Radio Shack 275-1547
This is a package of 4 for under $4, two with red caps, and 2 with black.
The SOC-Meter uses one Red pushbutton and one Black pushbutton.
7. Connector Blocks:
A. The SOC-Meter connects the Display to 3 of the EXT2 connector's pins.
B. The SOC-Meter connects the two Pushbuttons to 3 of the EXT2 connector's pins.
A 1x6 Connector Shell
A 2x4 Connector Shell
Wires with Female Pins
Note: These should arrive today, and I have yet to test them.
I intend to have suitable connectors and wires in the SOC-Meter Kit.
