The problem we've had is that all the developers involved have 2.x cars.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, the module _should_ work in a 1.5 car. Scott451 did the original bus decodes on a 1.5 car, and while there are some differences, he did document the messages (but we haven't been able to verify this as we have with the 2.x cars).</div><div><br></div><div>First, some trivia:</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>Our current master document on CAN bus messages is at:</div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><a href="https://github.com/markwj/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/blob/master/vehicle/Car Module/canbus_notes.txt">https://github.com/markwj/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/blob/master/vehicle/Car%20Module/canbus_notes.txt</a></div></blockquote><div>and that includes all of Scott451's published work, plus our own additions.</div><div><br></div><div>The SOC message is on the CAN bus - message ID#100, B1=0x80. There is supposedly no difference between the 1.5 and 2.x models for this message.</div><div><br></div><div>To get the charging messages correctly, you will need to set the CARBITS feature to a 2008 model roadster. An SMS command:</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>FEATURE 15 1</div><div>should enable bit#1 of the carbits, and permanently record this as a 2008 roadster.<br><br>The "Not charging" just means the charge port door is closed (or bit#2 of B2 on id#100 B1=0x96 is zero). The SOC and Ideal range being zero is similar zero (default) values.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>So, either none of these messages are getting from the CAN bus to the module, or the messages are completely different on a 1.5 car. I suspect the former.</div><div><br></div><div>Can you try:</div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div>a) A "GPS" SMS command - do you get a location in Wales (default), or the true location?</div><div>b) Open the charge port door, and repeat the "STAT" command - do you get a charging reply?</div></blockquote><div>and let us know the result?</div><div><br></div><div>The problem could also just be a faulty module (we had some factory soldering issues with early modules), so please verify the soldering looks good, and trace continuity test, particularly on the CAN bus side? Or, a loose connection on the CAN bus cables (two pins CAN-L and CAN-H), so can you check that with a continuity tester? If you have the opportunity, you could try it in a 2.x roadster.</div><div><br></div><div>There is a wiring schematic at:</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><a href="https://github.com/markwj/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/raw/master/vehicle/Car Module/OVMS_V5a.png">https://github.com/markwj/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/raw/master/vehicle/Car%20Module/OVMS_V5a.png</a></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My guess for this problem is a loose/broken cable on the CAN bus side - somewhere between the DIAG connector and the telco-style jacks connecting to the PIC motherboard.</div><div><br></div><div><div>It would be really helpful if you could help us test this and iron out any wrinkles for the 1.5 cars. We've had some enquiries from 1.5 end-users, but have told them to hold-off for the moment until we can verify things work in a 1.5 car.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Regards, Mark.</div><div><br><div><div>On 6 Mar 2012, at 8:39 AM, Tom Saxton wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>I just got the OVMS board plugged into our v1.5 Roadster.
