DC Charging Station Display UI

wallboxHMI

Graphical UI built with Qt for Linux-based embedded devices; designed in Figma. Shows charging data (voltage, current, power, energy, state) and handles charge start/stop. Deployed in 8 stations in Öckerö, Sweden.

C++Qt/QMLCANFigma

EVSE Controller Simulator

Hardware + Firmware

An electronic board designed in Altium that broadcasts the same CAN messages as the EV–station communication module. Zephyr RTOS firmware: one thread reads analog/digital inputs, another broadcasts CAN messages at a 100 ms period.
