        starts up and shuts down with the ignition switch and can suck
        as much power as your home PC. OVMS has to keep running, in as
        low power mode as possible, as telematics are required even when
        the car is off.</div>

    Exactly, my whole point, plus, that part, externalized, with a
    standardized way of communicating with the OVMS (uart/bt +
    ethernet/wifi+mqtt,<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://api">http://api</a>) will give a full freedom of
    implementation of the Heavyweight part. BTW: one of the extension
    boards could be a power-control board with power state signaling,
    MOSFETs, and a watchdog for that part<br>

    I don't know if their distribution of 200 beta boards was a cap

      <div class="">The overall goal is for OVMS v3 to be the

        cost/complexity to include as standard. This has got to go in an

    BT/BLE I believe is a minimum to have: It will allow people to have
    a locally connected Android App (without pumping data over a slow,
    optionnal and maybe misconfigured GSM stack) and without any hassle
    at that, latency can be sub 0.5s which is bareable for live
    metrics... plus, not all phones implement USB OTG correctly... and
    it's cablefree, which non-DIYers might appreciate.<br>
    <br>
    Form factor wise, my edge connector idea might not be that great,
    we'd end up with a lonnnngg serie of boards, maybe stackable as an
    arduino shield ? connectors are cheap, easier for the DIYer, no need
    to design long pathways that get in the way for signals from border

                                    I love the OpenCV part, though I'll

                                  So yeah, It needs to be beefy, and the
                                  ESP32 seems to be a nice candidate and
