I forked OVMS V3 and the Android code into my github account <a href="https://github.com/devmarxx?tab=repositories">https://github.com/devmarxx?tab=repositories</a> and commited my changes to the code there. I also started a pull request, but there is no hurry, because my vehicle code is just a template at the moment (like the Fiat 500 e code). The Android code is complete, but Michael is quite right that it would confuse the users to suddenly see the VW e-Up when there is still no functionality, so no hurry there too.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">My experience on OVMS so far is, that have been playing with the code for about 4 years. It started all because at that time I could not use the Android app on my Cyanogenmod phone due to the "google services" popup. I checked out the source code, removed the google check line and voila I could use the app with my Twizy and with my server :-)</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Later we bought a Nissan Leaf and I came in contact with Tom Parker. I had already set up the OVMS V2 toolchain, so it was very nice that I could use Tom's code to get the climate control of the Leaf to work. Always nice mail contact with Tom. Amazing the we can work together in New Zealand and Germany without ever have met. That where good times :-)</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">So now we bought a VW e-Up, that will be delivered hopefully in April. So I thought now is a good time to get started with OVMS for the VW e-Up. I decided to connect to the vehicle not over the OBD connector, but through the OCU plug of the VW e-Up. By doing so I hope to bypass the complicated VW CAN TP2.0 protocoll and I will have direct access to the the VW comfort CAN. Time will tell if that is the right decission.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I started a thread at the german goingelectric forum. Here I'll post my "adventures" (in German) and I hope to find some co-coders there too <a href="https://www.goingelectric.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=54620">https://www.goingelectric.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=54620</a></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Well .. So far my little introduction. </div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Looking forward to do some happy coding together.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Greetinx</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Chris</div></body></html>
