Mark,<br>
<br>
I completely misunderstood bit 3 "pilot present" as a driver
detection (seat pressure), good you explained that now :-)<br>
<br>
I may have been unclear. I tried to use bit 4 before, but the 12V
battery charge process is decoupled from the main battery charge
process. That's for the Twizy, of course, but I suppose that's on
other cars as well, as it seems to make sense to charge the 12V
battery independantly.<br>
<br>
I first thought about extending the doors flags to introduce a
separate "12V charging" flag, but then thought the combination
car_linevoltage + car_chargecurrent normally implies this.<br>
<br>
But "pilot signal present" is also not quite the same as "charging
12V"...<br>
<br>
So, would you still say we can generally use bit 3 for this, or
shall I rather introduce a new vehicle hook, as this needs to be
vehicle dependant?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Michael<br>

Also, as the Twizy (and I suppose other cars as well)
charges the 12V battery further on as long as it's plugged
in, I now use the plug in status (car_linevoltage +
car_chargecurrent) to detect a 12V charge status.<br>
<br>
After plug-out, the OVMS waits for 10 minutes (time for
the 12V battery to calm down) until taking the new ref
voltage. That will still be a bit above the nominal
voltage, but the span should be short enough to allow for
taking a new ref even if taking the car for the next drive
soon after charging.<br>
<br>
I hope this will work on other cars as well without
change/config, but it will now need the car_linevoltage
and car_chargecurrent reflecting the actual plugin status.
If a car cannot provide this info, we can introduce a new
vehicle hook for a function that checks for a valid
calibration time.<br>
<br>

I need to factor in the voltage decay after end of

...also consider using stp_l2f() for the STAT message,
see the DIAG message for a copy source. <br>

I really should document the stp functions... <br>

Seems like a sensible approach. <br>
<br>
Your car is now showing "11.9,0,12.2". <br>
<br>
I'll try it in my car over the weekend. <br>

I just checked in the auto calibration
implementation. <br>
<br>
It works by taking the maximum voltage reading while
the car is off and not charging as the reference
voltage, so it should adapt to all possible
variations. <br>
<br>
Alert is triggered if current reading is at/below
ref - 1.3V, which should fit for all cases. <br>
<br>
The alert now also includes the reference, and it
can be queried by the "DIAG" SMS command. It's also
now included as a new field in the environment
message ("D"). <br>

My understanding is that the 2.x cars work the
same way. The 12V battery is just for emergency
systems. <br>
<br>
Presumably if the main pack fails (fuse blows,
whatever), the 1.5 cars have no way of running
hazard warning lights, brake lights, etc. <br>
<br>
It would still be useful to see the stability of
that 12V line, on the v1.5 Tesla Roadsters. <br>

I don't think the v1.5 Roadster has a 12V
battery. It's my understanding <br>
that it uses a DC-to-DC converter on one of the
ESS sheets to power the 12V <br>
systems when the car is off. <br>
