[Ovmsdev] EMC / CE certificate + Fasttech SimpleConsole?

[Michael Balzer]

Hi Mastro,

the SimpleConsole is a small box providing just four push buttons and 
LEDs. It's supported by the Twizy firmware at the moment to switch 
driving profiles on the fly, but may be useful for other vehicles as 
well in the future.

For details see...

Regards,
Michael
