[Ovmsdev] Collecting information on the Fiat 500e

Hello Mark
I tried to load the dbc file (test.dbc) from 500e to OVMS 3 but always get the error message :
“Error: Failed to load DBC 500e from /sd/dbc/test.dbc”
I can load a example file from leafpowertrain but not file from 500e.
Maybe you can help me to find the mistake?

Guenther,
With the latest code (3.2.001-80-g731c916e or later), you should be able to try this. Instructions are pretty much the same as previously given:
1.. Put your DBC file in /store/dbc/<vehicletype>.dbc
2.. Load the DBC:
ovms# dbc load <vehicletype> /store/dbc/<vehicletype>.dbc
(or ‘dbc autoload’ to load all DBC files in that directory)
Note: It should be automatically loaded on boot, and you can use ‘dbc list’ to confirm.
3.. Configure your vehicle type and assign the DBC to CAN bus #1 for it:
config set auto vehicle.type DBC
config set vehicle dbc.can1 <vehicletype>
Within the DBC, set the signal name the same as the OVMS metric name (you can use periods ‘.’ as separators, or ‘_’ will be converted automatically for you). Connect to the car, and the CAN bus data should start to be processed and metrics updated based on your DBC file. Only integer DBC signals are supported (either signed or unsigned should be ok), but factors and/or offsets can convert these automatically to floats.
At the moment, you can only change the DBC on disk (/store/dbc/*.dbc) then reload it. However, it will be locked (as it is used by your OvmsVehicleDBC vehicle) . So you will have to either clear the vehicle module (‘vehicle module’), reload the DBC, then reload the vehicle module (‘vehicle module DBC’). Alternatively, you can simply reboot the OVMS. Later on I will improve on this to support hot-reloading and in-memory modification of live DBC files (via retool).
Remember that extended CAN IDs need to have the high bit set in DBC format. So, extended ID 100 is 2147483748 (2^31 + 100).
Regards, Mark.

Guenther,
The code is not finished yet, so no documentation at the moment. I will document it when it is working.
The overall plan (for a single CAN bus, single DBC, for example) is:
1.. Put your DBC file in /store/dbc/<vehicletype>.dbc.
2.. You should now find it automatically loaded on boot. You can use ‘dbc list’ to confirm.
3.. config set vehicle dbc.can1 <vehicletype>
4.. Configure your vehicle type as “DBC”.
The above is close to completion - just waiting for the decode function which I am struggling with (eMail sent to ovmsdev mailing list earlier today).
The retools system will have facilities to maintain DBC files (in memory) and save them back to disk. It will also use DBC files as its main way of working with messages.
Regards, Mark.

Thank you Mark!
But my question was if there is a manual how I can use the dbc file in OVMS 3.
I cannot find a description.

This is quite good:
http://socialledge.com/sjsu/index.php/DBC_Format
There are a large number of examples here:
https://github.com/commaai/opendbc
(although many are not 100% standards conformant, so will not parse correctly)
Attached is the formal specification.

This also looks to be a good candidate for a DBC implementation. That way, no coding required, and Gunther can tune and add metrics himself.
With the iOS App done, and now in testing, I am back working on DBC and RE tools. Made some progress these last two days (Chinese new year holidays here), and hoping to have something usable this weekend.
But, need those crtd can bus dumps to validate it.

I think it best to also get a few CAN dumps:
1.. While car is parked, idle, asleep
2.. While car is parked, but awake
3.. While car is driving
These should be in CRTD format.
They will allow us to double-check the actual CAN bus traffic to ensure it matches what is shown in the spreadsheet.

Hello Michael
That’s perfect! Ich can send you some more CAN-ID’S. Tell me what is important for the first implementation.

Günther,
yes, that looks sufficient.
It's always best if an actual vehicle user does the code, but we can provide a first basic implementation to build upon.

Michael

Hello Mark
I have a Fiat 500e and asked if there is anybody who is firm with the CAN Id’s.
In the meantime I have some CAN informations for Fiat 500e and can give to you or somebody who is familiar to programm the OVMS for this car.
I don’t have enough experiance to programm this. Sorry!
What informations to you need to insert this car to your project ?
Guenther
