# Some try-outs with Python and network adaptor low-level communiation # Some try-outs with Python and network adaptor low-level communiation
## Installation / Preconditions ## Goal
Tested with windows10 This project tries to use cheap powerline network adaptors for communication with electric cars charging system.

## Quick start / overview
- Modify a PLC adaptor hardware, that it runs on battery
- Modify the configuration of the PLC adaptor, that it supports HomePlug Green Phy including the SLAC.
- Install wireshark to view the network traffic
- Install Pcap-ct python library
- Patch Pcap-ct to support non-blocking operation
## Hardware preparation
Tested device: TPlink TL-PA1040P Ver 5.0
- remove the housing
- remove the AC power connector parts
- connect cables to supply the device by battery. Works with 12V, also works with 5V from an USB power bank.
- connect cables and circuit (1nF and 150ohms in series) for connecting to the pilot line.
## Configuration of the PLC adaptor
The factory settings of the Homeplug PLC adaptor do not in all cases support the requirements of the communication
with the car. In detail, the adaptors are supporting HomePlugAV, but we need HomePlugGP (Green Phy). This is similar,
but not the same.
Fortunately, the supplier of the chipset is aware of this topic, and provides some smart helper tools.

It is worth to read its documentation, starting in docbook/index.html, this contains all what we need for the next steps.
(Tested on Linux/Raspbian on a raspberryPi 3)
Find the PLC adaptor
pi@RPi3D:~ $ int6klist -ieth0 -v
This shows the software version and the mac address.
Read the configuration from the PLC adaptor and write it to a file
pi@RPi3D:~ $ plctool -ieth0 -p original.pib 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Read Module from Memory
Patch the configuration file (aee /docbook/ch05s15.html). For each side (pev (vehicle) and evse (charger)) there is a special configuration.
Example pev side:
pi@RPi3D:~ $ cp original.pib pev.pib
pi@RPi3D:~ $ setpib pev.pib 74 hfid "PEV"
pi@RPi3D:~ $ setpib pev.pib F4 byte 1
pi@RPi3D:~ $ setpib pev.pib 1653 byte 1
pi@RPi3D:~ $ setpib pev.pib 1C98 long 10240 long 102400
Write the configuration file to the PLC adaptor
pi@RPi3D:~ $ plctool -ieth0 -P pev.pib 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Start Module Write Session
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Flash pev.pib
...
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Close Session
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Reset Device
eth0 98:48:27:5A:3C:E6 Resetting ...
The open-plc-utils contain the programs evse and pev, which can be used for try-out of the functionality, using two PLC adaptors.

## Test image ### Usage on Raspberry
(Just added in the Github web interface while editing the readme.md, by pressing Ctrl-V) Pcap-ct does not work with Python 3.4. After update to Python 3.8, it works.
