Custom protocol for ebikes (Vanmoof)

User: Dylan Cupedo (3w)
Just finished assembling my Gouach battery.

While waiting for this battery I have reverse engineered the communication protocol for the bike which I intend to use this battery with (Vanmoof Electrified S 2017).

I was wondering if you by any chance happen to have any intentions to allow for the development of custom communication protocols?

This is such a great idea. The idea to have community implemented protocols is something we have in mind by having a little virtual machine (WASM) running on the BMS with a simple API to trigger discharge etc.

That said it is not implemented yet.

Hey Dylan! So cool to know about this! Could you send us the spec of what you’ve reverse engineered?

Sure thing, I’ll have to write up some documentation with regards to the protocol and I’ll share this when it’s done.

Great contribution! It would be great to make it all openly available e.g. by putting it under public domain or a free licence.
