  • Research on Milwaukee M18 protocol involves faking charger commands to verify communication.
  • Unknown registers and data exist; contributions are welcome.
  • Simulating the charger requires a specific circuit, noting fake FT232 chips don't support break conditions.
  • USB to Serial adapter voltage must be 3.3V.
  • Python and pip are required; install packages via 'pip install -r requirements.txt'.
  • Run 'python3 m18.py' to start an interactive shell for sending commands, with optional '--port' for known serial ports.
