The Coding Is Nearly Done: Will Mellon Talk To Our WOLFBOX Cover? https://peertube.tv/videos/watch/07f628d3-ef04-42bf-b255-b5da4f8dbef7 It's been nearly two weeks since we unveiled project Mellon, Nikki's Lord Of The Rings-inspired custom control board for the WOLFBOX powered tonneau cover. Built around an ESP32-C6, and a custom board built alongside PCBWay, it connects Nikki's tonneau cover's BLE connection with the built-in HomeLink-compatible visor in her F-150 Lightning. But to date, all her testing has been on the bench. There's still a lot to do: including a custom harness, and a CAN bus integration. But will her first tests in the truck actually work? ⏱️ Chapter Breakdown: 00:00 — Introduction 00:55 — Meet Mellon: HomeLink history, the WOLFBOX tonneau cover, and CAN bus smarts 04:05 — First truck test: live demo and reverse-engineering the WOLFBOX protocol 09:39 — Smart security: lockouts, phone-as-key, and drive-mode safety 13:38 — Why this matters 14:38 — What's left to do: harness, certification, and OTA safety 17:42 — Thanks and goodbye! 👥 Channel Sponsors 🌱 Electric Vehicle Association - https://www.myeva.org ⚡ EnergySage - https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-101290941-16952262 — ✊ Get Involved 🗳️ https://indivisible.org/town-hall-resources ❤️ Support the Show 📰 https://www.transportevolved.com 🔥 https://www.patreon.com/transportevolved ☕ https://ko-fi.com/transportevolved 📺 https://www.youtube.com/transportevolved 👕 https://www.redbubble.com/people/TransportEVd/ 🛍️ https://amzn.to/40xOyjm ₿ 1QRZRGCCXUKPDZ2DZ9KX9JYJXMZDYHYGFZ0MN4WH Visit https://pcbway.com/g/Z9hxkG to get $5 off your first order, and turn your ideas into reality, be they custom PCBs, metal components, or 3D prints! 💬 Join the Conversation 🐘 https://mastodon.transportevolved.com/@show 💬 https://discord.gg/9WAjfQn 💬 https://fluxer.gg/mcj8aehg 🌀 https://bsky.app/profile/transportevolved.bsky.social 🔁 Subscribe to our 2nd channel - https://www.youtube.com/transportevolvedtake2 🎙️ Credits: Host, Script, Editor: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Color: Vi Horton Art & Animation : Erin Carlie Producer: Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Music: via Artlist.io Wed, 09 Sep 2026 08:27:27 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://peertube.tv The Coding Is Nearly Done: Will Mellon Talk To Our WOLFBOX Cover? https://peertube.tv/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://peertube.tv/videos/watch/07f628d3-ef04-42bf-b255-b5da4f8dbef7 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://peertube.tv/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
