Extended PIDs

Connectable

Show a signal as a value in Pelican.

Use suggestedMetric to connect a signal to a value in Pelican, such as speed or battery charge. The signal must use a compatible unit.

The OBDb schema defines the identifiers and descriptions below. They are grouped by Pelican’s signal categories:

Charging

ConnectableDescription
isChargingWhether the traction battery is charging.
pluggedInWhether a charging cable is connected.
