[Ovmsdev] Release Firmware

On the 12v filtering, all I can think is to average it, perhaps over a minute, or for a set number of readings. Or perhaps require 2 readings higher than the current reading before increasing it (or generally 2 readings before it is changed). This could be done in the function to handle reading the value.

For example, say we kept a total, a count and the last value. Then, input_voltage() would read the value, add it to the total and increment the count. If count > 5 (say), set last value = total / count, then reset total,count=0. It would return last value as the result.

Do you have any historical list of the values reported from the function? Does it go 11.5, 11.6, 11.5, 11.5, 13.2, 11.5, 11.6, etc? Of stay falsely high for multiple readings?

Regards, Mark.

That could mean the "peer connected" reaction (net_msg.c line 660) could somehow be involved, or -- as my perl client copy also sends a command 41 to query the SIM account balance -- the USSD handling could be the source of the bug.
