# mode can be either PevMode to use as car, or EvseMode to use as charger.
# This setting can be overruled by using the first command line parameter, to EvseMode:
# python pyPlc.py E

# python pyPlc.py P

# Simulation without modem
# For development purposes, make it possible to run two instances (pev and evse) on one machine, without
# a modem connected.
# If this setting is set to false, nevertheless the simulation mode can be activated by the second command
# line parameter "S", e.g.
# python pyPlc.py E S
# or
# python pyPlc.py P S

# LightBulbDemo turns on the relay with a short delay in the charging loop, to stabilize the voltage
# before the resistive load is connected.
# This mode is intended to test the PevMode without the need of a real battery, but a load like a light bulb,

# Device to read the physically measured inlet voltage in PevMode

# Logging to UDP Syslog messages
# If this is activated, the pyPlc will send all logging messages also to the network interface,
# in form of UDP Syslog messages. For details see in udplog.py.
# For development purposes, set this to "Yes".
# For daily use, set this to "No". There is the risk that the broadcast UDP packets disturb the charger,
# which may lead to unwanted aborts.

# Set backend for obtaining charging parameters, we start with CHAdeMO CAN for now
# Need to make a simulator device and maybe a celeron device?
