Too bad :-(

I've had a look at the logs. Your last 12V reading was at 11.8V, which normally would be still OK, but I suspect you didn't calibrate the 12V measurement.

See https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues/148
…and the new 12V section in the user guide.

So the Soul doesn't top up the 12V battery from the main battery? How much capacity does the 12V battery have on the Soul?

Maybe we should add vehicle specific 12V capabilities & warnings to the user guide. Or an overview table at the beginning?

See above & issues, power management is not yet implemented, so a reboot doesn't draw more power than normal live operation.

The CRC error on the efuse BLK0 is very bad. BLK0 contains the factory burnt MAC address assigned by Espressif. As efuses normally can't be changed once burnt
this signals a serious problem with your ESP32.

See https://github.com/espressif/esptool/wiki/espefuse -- you can try the dump command and send the results to Espressif. If your ESP32 really lost its efuses,
I think that's a warranty issue.

Mark, any idea on this?

Regards,
Michael
