yes, that's chassis ground -- shouldn't it be? I
interpreted the OVMS GND as the ground for the supply
voltage (12V), as the CAN bus has its dedicated "low"
line.<br>
<br>
I just looked up some OBD2 sites: 4+5 normally are the
same. One page says an OBD2 cable should have identical
potential on 4 and 5 to ensure proper function. Another
OBD2 cable I bought connects them, so maybe for a
general product GND should connect both, but I don't
think there's a difference on the car side... normally.<br>
<br>
But I've also seen some info on non standard OBD2 plugs,
also for some GM and Opel cars, having other signals
where the CAN bus should be, so I'm also interested in
your pinout, Michael J.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Michael<br>

<div>One question: you have GND on pin #4 (odb). I
have that shown as chassis ground, not signal
ground. Is that correct?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Michael J: is that the same connector and pins as
you are using for the Volt?</div>

great to hear about user activity :-)<br>
<br>
1) I just created an OVMS to OBD2 cable image and
checked it in:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/dexterbg/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/commit/a7c3a3e8f12d7759b896bb75c8e570ebc10ec11a">https://github.com/dexterbg/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/commit/a7c3a3e8f12d7759b896bb75c8e570ebc10ec11a</a><br>
As OBD2 is standard incl. CAN pinout, this should
be valid for any OBD2 port, so could be added to
the FastTech OVMS product line. It's not a
standard cable, or at least none I know of.<br>
<br>
2) No known way up to now. I also think the Twizy
would not respond to the port, as the whole CAN
bus is quiet when the car is off and not charging.
Plus, because the charger draws some 30-35 W for
many hours after charging has completed, many
drivers use auto-power-off sockets.<br>
<br>
3) I'll forward your specification to the german
Twizy forum.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Michael<br>

<div>Twizy support seems to be coming along
nicely, thanks to the amazing work Michael is
doing. Some good functionality there already.</div>
<div><br>

<div>I'm starting to see some Twizy users

Perhaps the word is getting out?</div>

</div>
<div>
<ol class="MailOutline">
<li>Michael: Can you let me have the details
on the cable pinouts and parts you are
using at the moment? Is it a standard
cable, or are you having to make something
up?<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>How is charge control on the Twizy done?
Is there any way of stopping or starting
(topup) a charge from within the car, or
is it just controlled by plugging? Any
chance of can bus control of this?<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Can anyone help with the car images for
the Twizy? There are lots of nice images
available, but they need to be
photoshopped to the right dimensions and
transparent background png.</li>
