Installing OpenPilot for Tesla on the EON
First OpenPilot Drive
- Make sure the EON is mounted properly and connected to the Panda by following #Installing the EON
- Make sure the EON has Internet access (either your wifi at home or a SIM card). Connect to a mobile hotspot if you don't have a SIM card
- Reboot your EON before turning your car on for good measure
- Turn your car on and verify that the Panda LEDs are pulsing red/blue/purple. If they are green, your panda is not flashed, see flashing instructions here Panda Flashing.
- OpenPilot should switch to "drive mode" and show the camera view with white lane marking
- Make sure that your EON is connected to the Internet or Calibration will not start
- Read up and understand the controls from Using adaptive cruise control
IF YOUR CAR IS RECOGNIZED:
- Calibration will increment at above 15mph. It will take less than 30 seconds to fully calibrate. If you move the mount, it's recommended to reset camera calibration under "device settings".
- When driving, Double Pull the Cruise Control Stalk to use OpenPilot
IF YOUR CAR IS NOT RECOGNIZED
- Ask for help on the #tesla channel of the Comma.ai Discord
