<p dir="ltr">Well, the idea was to just add the dip header, it doesn't waste much space because the bt module "floats" above the pcb (see the pics on the ebay link).<br>
Well, I think that it would be a good idea to bring out at least some of the unused pins to a header, to allow hacking and customization, it would add a lot of value for cheap. Like in the ovsm! :)<br>

I seem to recall that Mark wanted to keep the CAN-USB simple and cheap. Adding space for a Bluetooth module could double the size and cost of the PCB. It's not an 8-pin IC.<br>
<br>
Is there any reason you can't use the OVMS v3 for whatever you want the Bluetooth for? The CAN-USB is supposed to be a single-function, cheap, giveaway piece of electronics.<br>

Just a quick request: there should be enough space on the pcb to add a<br>
bluetooth module. Please add at least the footprint for<br>

This would add the need for an independent power supply, but as I<br>
recall you were already planning to place the footprints on the pcb.<br>
I found myself in need for a wireless connection a lot of times,<br>
usually to get a quick log with my phone. For example, this weekend<br>
I'm doing a few tests with a tesla model s and I'd love a more stealth<br>
method to get the data.<br>
About being stealth, I found myself using ELM327 adapters to get CAN<br>
data more than a few times, but I have to include a lot of filtering<br>
due to the slowness of the adapter. That said, the STN1170 is an<br>
"elm327 on steroids", and may have enough horsepower to log unfiltered<br>
can data, while being a very good diagnostic tool to interface with<br>
Torque. <a href="http://batman.homelinux.com/blog/stn1170-bluetooth-obdii-adapter/" target="_blank">http://batman.homelinux.com/<u></u>blog/stn1170-bluetooth-obdii-<u></u>adapter/</a><br>
I still have not tested it, but maybe will soon. Single chips are<br>
available for 10$ in single quantities.<br>
