==== Using the Tinkla Menu ====
 
−
The Tinkla Menu has various basic configuration settings you can activate. You can activate the menu with either four presses on the Wheel's Menu button or (if you're parked) four presses on the Parking Brake.
 
−
 
−
If you plan to use email to send screenshots, please make sure you setup your email address correctly in '''/home/pi/.tinkla/email_settings'''. Please allow at least 20 seconds between requests to allow the command to complete. CID screen shot only works if you have persistence enabled.

Then select '''On''', to turn on the WiFi SSID.
 
−
 
−
[[File: TWifi.png|500px|center]]
 
−
 
−
 
−
On your Cell phone look for the SSID <code>tinklaAP</code>, the WiFi password is <code>teslaFr33</code>
 
−
 
−
[[File: TB-wifi(4).jpg|250px|center]]
 
−
 
−
Select the SSID and it will assign an IP (it may tell you there is no internet). The next thing to do is go to your favorite browser on the phone, and enter the following URL http://10.5.5.1
 
−
 
−
 
−
You will be presented with the log in screen. The first time password is <code>1234</code>
 
−
 
−
Then of course hit Login
 
−
 
−
[[File: TB-wifi(5).jpg|500px|center]]             
 
−
 
−
Now you can start exploring.
 
−
 
−
==== Using Tinkla Bastillion Server ====
 
−
This method is not recommended for initially setting up your Tinkla Buddy. This is a great way to tinker and customize some areas of your Tinkla Buddy and is only a Linux Command Line Interface [CLI].
 
−
 
−
https://tinkla.us:8443/
 
−
 
−
Contact BogGyver for account setup and Authenticator setup.
 
−
 
−
From the Bastillion server you can gain SSH access to your Tinkla Buddy from anywhere in the world. With SSH access you can perform more intimate setup of your Tinkla Buddy so screenshots can be emailed to you or create your own custom menu options in the Tinkla Menus.
 
−
 
−
===== Custom Tinkla Menu =====
 
−
In the <code>/home/pi/.tinkla</code> folder there is a file called <code>your_commands.json</code> Where the custom menu items should be added. There are already examples in the file you can follow.
 
−
 
−
For long command sequences it is best to create a script in <code>/home/pi/.tinkla</code> and just call the script with something like <code>/bin/bash  /home/pi/.tinkla/my_script.sh</code> from the <code>your_commands.json</code>.
 
−
 
−
<source>{"menu":[
 
−
{"id":1000,"text":"The file that generates this section is /home/pi/.tinkla/your_commands.json. The base menu for it has ID 1000 and we suggest to keep all the other submenus you might create with unique IDs above 1000. Look at the file for suggestions how to create custom commands. ","options":[
 
−
{"label":"Menu","type":"menu","value":"1001"}, #this will open the menu defined as id:1001
 
−
{"label":"Reboot TB","type":"shell","value":"reboot"}, #this sends "reboot" as a command.
 
−
{"label":"Some Script","type":"shell","value":"/bin/bash /home/pi/.tinkla/my_script.sh"} #no comma after the last option.
 
−
]},
 
−
{"id":1001,"text":"This is just an example of a submenu. Here I just defined 1 button. The Back button is added automatically to any Menu.","options":[
 
−
{"label":"Main Menu","type":"menu","value":"1"}
 
−
]}                                                                                                              ]} </source>
 
−
 
−
To run a script on the CID, and as long as you have persistence enabled, then you can include these commands inside <code>my_script.sh</code> to have some thing run on the CID:
 
−
 
−
<source>scp CID_script.sh cid:/tmp/CID_script.sh
 
−
ssh cid bash /tmp/CID_script.sh
 
−
ssh cid rm /tmp/CID_script.sh</source>
 
−
 
−
===== Cron Jobs =====
 
−
If you already have persistence setup, then you can have scripts set to run periodically based on where you place your <code>script.sh</code>. Based on the directory you use, you can have a script run afterReboot (MCU reboot, not Tinkla Buddy), every 1, 5, 15, or 60 minutes.
 
−
 
−
Scripts within these folders '''MUST''' have filenames ending in <code>.sh</code>.
 
−
 
−
<source>/opt/tinkla/cron/afterReboot
 
−
/opt/tinkla/cron/everyOneMinute
 
−
/opt/tinkla/cron/everyFiveMinutes
 
−
/opt/tinkla/cron/everyFifteenminutes
 
−
/opt/tinkla/cron/everyHour</source>
 
−
 
−
For those users that have root persistence, I recommend adding a '''clean_traces.sh''' file to the '''/opt/tinkla/cron/everyOneMinute''' folder containing the following code
 
−
 
−
<source>sed -i '/192\.168\.90\.101/d' /var/log/sshd/current
 
−
sed -i '/key type ssh-dss not/d' /var/log/sshd/current
 
−
cat /dev/null > /var/log/auth.log
 
−
echo 'set +o history' > /root/.bashrc
 
−
cat /dev/null > /root/.bash_history
 
−
echo 'set +o history' > /home/tesla/.bashrc
 
−
cat /dev/null > /home/tesla/.bash_history</source>
 
−
 
−
If you have root persistence and want the AutoPilot screen on CID, create a script called '''ap_screen.sh''' in the '''/opt/tinkla/cron/afterReboot''' folder containing this code:
 
−
 
−
<source>edit-settings-conf.pl -a vapi/forceHasAutopilot=true

T Buddy.png

What is Tinkla Buddy?

Tinkla Buddy (formerly rPanda) is a nice solution for our Teslas to have Instrument Cluster [IC] integration without root.

If you don't have root access to your Tesla, you can now enjoy these benefits:

  • OpenPilot Integration into IC for pre-AP cars.
  • In car WiFi Access Point
  • Control Relay via CID buttons for after-market features
  • Secure Remote Access to your Buddy from ANYWHERE
  • and More!

Pricing

Hardware Prices And Options

The Tinkla Buddy install kit costs about $200 USD, depending where your source components.

Software License Prices

Tinkla Buddy software license is a yearly subscription model locked to the VIN of the car, so if you replace the hardware on the same car it will still work, but will not work to move the license to another car.

The cost of the Tinkla Buddy software subscription is:

  • $150.00 USD for the first year and
  • $100.00 USD for each subsequent year.
