+=== charger lock ===
+This "circuit" is actually only a small conventional relay. It opens the 20mA loop of the HV battery charger und thus disables the device when ignition is on. This shall avoid overcharging of individual traction battery cells: While ignition is on, the BMS system is not able to correctly detect "high voltage threshold crossed" events, but wrongly interprets them as "low voltage threshold crossed" events. Therefore, BMS will not shut down the charger in time while ignition is on.
+\\
+=== HV battery alarm ====
+The HV battery alarm implements some of the logic relations listed in above table.
+It generates a "HV battery alarm" signal that is fed to the digital input of the GSM module, to warn of a serious condition of the traction battery:
+* HV idle voltage alarm (HV voltage too low, while ignition is off)
+OR
+* isolation alarm
+OR
+* BMS alarm occurred, but the HV battery charger is not on (or has been charging recently).
+While charging and shortly after, a BMS alarm can only mean "high voltage threshold crossed", which is handled by the battery charger and does not require manual intervention.
+Else, a BMS alarm will mean that the low voltage threshold has been crossed at at least one cell.
+I however later changed the timer in this circuit to a very short time (a few seconds), so that it is without effect and now both events will lead to an HV battery alarm.
+\\
+=== DC/DC control / 12V recharger ====
+This microcontroller circuit, based on a Microchip PIC16F690, controls the DC/DC converter (only "on" and "off"). It switches the DC/DC converter on while ignition is on, if the voltage of the battery has dropped below 12,6V or after some idle time has expired. In case of a  HV battery alarm, the DC/DC converter will not be run to avoid deep discharge of the HV battery.
+Since I had difficulties implementing interrupts (some memory allocation problem), the program is implemented in a dirty way by some loops and polling of external conditions.
+In paticular, the behaviour is
+a SOC (state-of-charge) counter mimicks the SOC (only the uppermost few per cents of it) of the 12V battery.
+The program cycles in either "charging" or "idle" loop.
+in charging loop:
+yellow LED = "recharge" output is on (RC6 high)
+SOC is increased by <charge_fac> (variable) every <period> cycles
+in idle loop:
+yellow LED = "recharge" output is off (RC6 low)
+SOC is decreased by 1 every <period> cycles
+charging state is entered when
+* SOC reaches 0
+idle state is entered when
+* SOC overruns 255
+* if voltage drops below threshold: set SOC to 0, set RC7 = bright red LED
+threshold trigger forces output to "on" (rapidly sets SOC to minimum)
+* if ignition on (RB4 high) OR "HV charging" (RB5 high):
+set yellow LED = "recharge" output is on (RC6 high)
+increase SOC by <charge_fac>
+ignition and "HV charging" increases SOC at normal charging speed
+* while combined HV alarm is high (RB7 high):
+clear yellow LED = "recharge" output (RC6 low)
+keep SOC at 255,
+stay in exception loop
+BMS buzzer and HV_idle alarm: rapidly increases SOC to maximum (to save HV battery with priority)
