Greg,

thanks for testing & feedback.

I'm working on the Twizy web UI now. If you'd like to implement the obd2ecu configuration, add it to the obd2ecu module. Have a look at the rt_web module for an
example on how to extend the webserver from another module, it's really easy.

For the PID mapping, I think a tabular form like for the Wifi config would be suitable. You can copy that form as a template, it's in the web_cfg module and
consists of three methods:

  * HandleCfgWifi -- main handler & Javascript
  * OutputWifiTable -- table view
  * UpdateWifiTable -- table controller

The Javascript for adding and deleting table rows can be used for any table form, you just need to change the row template.

Regards,
Michael
