OK so I had/have two problems:<br>
<br>
1) the OVMS board had a bad connection on the ground input, so power
wasn't getting to the board properly hence the weird flashing
lights. We fixed that with a more solid ground connection soldered
to a couple pins.<br>
<br>
2) the SIM card I'm using does NOT work with the board. I hooked up
the diag port and it says "NOT INSERTED" for CPIN. With another
cellular provider's SIM, it did work. So now I have to find a way
to get this happening. I can only get cheap data with my current
provider, so I'm going to hunt for an old SIM that might work.<br>
<br>
So things are on pause until I'm able to do that...<br>

About 200mA would be safest. A bench 12V power supply is fine.

I will definitely hook up to the diag port. I do have a

Does anyone know if one can power the unit "on a bench"
using a 12V adapter? I read that the OBDII port only
gives out a max of 100mA, is that true? If it is true,
a small 12V adapter should be fine...<br class="">

The other thing to suggest is if you have a USB-serial
cable and a laptop, you can plug into the DIAG port at
9600baud, and have a look at the messages from the
modem. That should tell you exactly what is going on.
But if you count the blinks, and they go 10 then 9
then reset then 10 then 9, it is most likely the SIM
connection.

Hi all again,<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm really not having any luck here.<br
class="">
<br class="">
I've tried three different SIM cards now,
and they all do exactly the same thing. I
haven't read anywhere about the red and
green lights being on simultaneously and
flashing like crazy so I'm really starting
to suspect that the hardware is defective.
I wish I had another kit lying around.<br
class="">
<br class="">
The kit I have is from my friend but it's
brand new, it has never been used in a car
before.<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm wondering if I should just order another
kit to see if the same thing happens.<br
class="">
<br class="">
I did have a question. If I simply power
the OBDII port on the kit with 12V, should
it power up normally? I could test that...<br
class="">
<br class="">
Geir, my car is in Canada, so I don't have
UVO services unfortunately, hence the reason
I'd really like to get this going! I'm on
the KIA Soul EV forums, and once I have this
working, I'll try to rope in someone in the
US who would be willing to monitor their CAN
Bus so we can snoop and try to copy the HVAC
calls.<br class="">

<br class="">
Some (very few) SIMs just don't work in
the OVMS, it's unlikely you stumbled
across two of them.<br class="">
<br class="">
I once had the effect of a flash process
that failed without any error output, so
you also should try re-flashing.<br

<br class="">
Of course the hardware can be broken too,
i.e. bad SIM slot soldering causing data
errors or bad antenna connection. As your
module has been used before (I assume?)
that's quite unlikely.<br class="">

I tried the SIM card in a cell phone.

I doubt it's locked, it's brand new.

all,<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm happy to see that it
looks like development of
the Kia Soul EV firmware is
going to continue, thanks to
Micheal and Geir!<br
class="">
<br class="">
I went out and bought a
dedicated SIM for the OVMS
kit yesterday and flashed
the OVMS with 0.2 of the Kia
Soul firmware and I flashed
the EEPROM as well since
this is a new installation
and there's nothing on the
kit yet.<br class="">
<br class="">
It's still not working
unfortunately. When I plug
it into the car, the red LED
comes on for a few seconds,
then the red and green flash
a bit, and then they both
stay off for about 10-15
seconds, then the green
flashes 10 times, then 9
times, then I think 8 or 9
times, and then the red LED
flashes a few times while
the green is flashing, and
then then both start to
flash on and off extremely
fast, so fast that it looks
like they are both on
solid. They stay like this
for about 7 or 8 seconds,
and then it starts all over
again from the 10, 9 on
green.<br class="">
<br class="">
I've followed the Roadster
guide to getting this up and
running, I've cleaned the
SIM contacts and I've tried
two different SIM cards, so
I'm a bit lost as to what I
can try next.<br class="">
<br class="">
Does anyone have any
suggestions?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks!<br class="">

Welcome Robert :-)<br
class="">
<br class="">
Basic setup of the Kia
firmware is the same as
for other models. So you
can follow the Roadster
guide or one of the Twizy
guides first.<br class="">
<br class="">
You wrote to me you got
the module from a friend,
so you should first flash
once without preserving
EEPROM to get a clean
config to start with.<br
class="">
<br class="">
Follow Marks link to the
support FAQ if you get
stuck in the config
process. To diag LED flash
codes, also take a look at
the state machine diagram
in the main docs folder.
If you need help, describe
exactly (!) which doc
you've been following and
what you have done so far.<br
class="">
<br class="">
If you're stuck at 10/9...
maybe you should first
check if the SIM card has
contact.<br class="">
<br class="">
Kia V0.1 only reads some
first status messages and
obtains the VIN if you
enable CAN write access
(FEATURE 15 1). I've
currently got one positive
and one negative test
feedback for this version.<br
class="">
<br class="">
<meta
http-equiv="content-type"
content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"
class="">
Would be great if you
could also check V0.2 --
it's in my account on
github:<br class="">

I'm replying to Micheal

the mailing list until
late yesterday
afternoon, hence I'm not
able to click reply. <br
class="">
<br class="">
I've got a Kia Soul EV
2016 in Canada which
doesn't have the UVO
services, so this is of
great interest to me. <br

<br class="">
I have the OVMS kit in

reading through some
guides to get started. <br

<br class="">
Just wanted to say that
I'll gladly be the
guinea pig for this. <br
class="">
<br class="">
What I'd REALLY like is
to have a way to
remotely turn on the
climate control system
to warm up/cool down the
car at will. Hopefully
that's a remote
possibility. Tracking
it is cool, but
controlling it is even
better. I'm used to a
Tesla (my other car), so
I am quite spoiled. <br
class="">
<br class="">
I did get Micheal's
firmware installed on
the OVMS and hooked it
up to the car but it's
not booting properly
(based on status LEDs).
Can that be because of
the firmware or is the
bootup sequence separate
from the car-control
code? <br class="">
<br class="">
The LEDs flash like - 10
Green, 9 Green, 10
Green, 9 Green, then a
few reds, then green and
red flash together
really fast. <br
class="">
<br class="">
I tried sending text
messages to the board
and no dice. <br
class="">
<br class="">
Any help would be
appreciated, looking
forward to getting this
working! <br class="">
