USA

TODO: add notes about USA OpenEVSE

UK/EU

• Disable AUTOSVCLEVEL (autodetection is designed for split-phase)
• Charging level default to L2
• Set MAX_CURRENT_CAPACITY_L2 32 (limit for single-phase charging in UK/EU)
• Add '.EU' to version number
• Enable LCD Redraw every couple of min (required for EMC/CE)

EmonEVSE

EmonEVSE (non-tethered type-2 EVSE unit)

• PP_AUTO_AMPACITY enabled to set max current based on non-tethered cable connected
• Three-phase option with THREEPHASE enabled to calculate three-phase energy

Firmware compile & upload help: firmware/open_evse/LoadingFirmware.md

NOTES:

• Working versions of the required libraries are included with the firmware code. This avoids potential issues related to using the wrong versions of the libraries.
• Highly recommend using the tested pre-compiled firmware (see releases page)

Flash pre-compiled using avrdude

$ avrdude -p atmega328p -B6 -c usbasp -P usb -e -U flash:w:firmware.hex

ISP programmer required e.g USBASP

Set AVR fuses

This only needs to be done once in the factory

avrdude -c USBasp -p m328p -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m -U hfuse:w:0xDF:m -U efuse:w:0xFD:m -B6

If writing eFuse fails ISBasp may need a firmware update
