Looks good, a lot bang for the buck. Maybe add the CPU clock of 240
MHz to the specs.<br class="">
<br class="">
Is the 8th EGPIO line now also available on the expansion slot and
DB26 connector?<br class="">

I’m trying to get pricing for OVMS v3 down, but with the large
up-front costs we’ve had to pay (injection moulding, prototypes,
etc), it has been hard.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">At launch, this is the best we can do:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="MailOutline">

</li>
<ul class="">

<div class="">
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li class="">Firmware is not complete, and should be
considered beta</li>
<li class="">Functionality is approximately equivalent to
basic OVMS v2 firmware, but some advanced features (such as
ACC, SMS control, etc) are not available yet</li>
<li class="">Firmware is far in advance of v2 in other aspects
(such as built in web server, metrics, console, tcp/ip
support, diagnostics, geofencing, scripting, etc)</li>
<li class="">Firmware can be updated either Over The Air
(OTA), by Micro SD card, or over USB interface</li>
