If you're careful, you can measure directly at the voltage switch
BTS452R, which is located in the upper left corner of the board
close to the DA26 connector (label U4).<br>

12V output is the rightmost pin when viewing from the top, pins
down, GND is the leftmost pin. Power input is on the tab.<br>

<div>Results were the same (didn't have time to

<div>I also confirmed that the cable is wired

including 120ohm resistor.</div>

<div>I'm starting to think there's an issue with

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hi Michael,<br>
<br>
Yeah, odd. <br>
<br>
I see in the description that there's a power
switch on the side of the unit, so that will
probably interact with the voltage
transition. After turning Ext12v on, and
pushing the on/off button on the HUD unit, I
would expect it would turn on. After that,
transitioning Ext12v on/off should trigger the
unit to turn on/off as well.<br>
<br>
Assuming you do get it running, what I would
suggest is to create a pair of Events to force
Ext12v on and off when the car state
transitions. For my car, the states are
vehicle.on and vehicle.off, but yours might be
different. In the "on" event script I also
stop and restart the obd2ecu process, as that
will clear the CAN3 bus hang that I've
experienced. It's a long shot, but perhaps
the HUD isn't turning on because it's not
seeing CAN traffic. You might try the 12v off
/ ecu stop / ecu start / 12v on sequence
manually and see if that wakes the HUD up.<br>
<blockquote>OVMS# vfs cat
/store/events/vehicle.on/myevent<br>
power ext12v off<br>
obdii ecu stop<br>
obdii ecu start can3<br>
power ext12v on<br>
<br>
OVMS# vfs cat
/store/events/vehicle.off/myevent<br>
power ext12v off<br>

Good luck!<br>

<div>I'm definitely getting power on the
OVMS -> OBDII cable. 11 volts when
the car is off, and 12.6 volts when
the car is on. I'm assuming this is
quite deliberate. (And like 0.2 volts
when the power to the ext12v is off).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>By default, the HUD was needing
(according to docs - probably) 13.2v
to trigger it to turn on.. so I
connected it directly to the car OBD
and changed that setting to 11.5
volts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I turned the car off (still
connected directly).. the HUD remained
on as it was still getting > 12V..
so the setting definitely worked.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Unfortunately when I then connected
the OVMS to the OBDII and the OVMS
-> OBDII cable to the HUD - it
still didn't turn on. :( (oh and yes
- "power ext12v on". </div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br>
<div>Anybody got any experience with
HUDs?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I bought this simple HUD from
FastTech:</div>

<div>When connected direct to the
OBDII port, it powers on and seems
to function. When I connect it to
the OVMS module with the standard <a href="https://www.fasttech.com/products/9652027" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.fasttech.com/products/9652027</a>
the HUD doesn't even power on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's stated draw is 200ma which
afaict should be fine. I'm pretty
sure the 12V power is getting to PIN
16... though I will try again to
make sure. I only have a crappy
little Multimeter.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the Troubleshooting it states:</div>
<div> "HUD only available for cars
with OBD2 and EU-OBD agreements ...
HUD Products don't support JOBD and
OBDI protocol."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The OBD HUD connector has the
following pins:</div>
<div>

<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">5*

<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">*

<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent"><br>
</p>
<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">These
are the standard OVMS supplied

<p style="line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent">So
obviously the main difference is
the lack of K / L lines in the
OVMS ... but I wouldn't have
thought that would have prevented
it from powering up.</p>

anybody have any thoughts on this?</p>
