Welcome, Doug :-)<br>
<br>
The OVMS is a very good base for playing & learning about
embedded systems & IoT as well as CAN bus & vehicle system
communication.<br>
<br>
There are lots of opportunities for low level & high level
projects. Creating plugins based on HTML & Javascript is pretty
easy and quickly rewarding, especially important for educational
projects.<br>
<br>
When digging deeper you'll get to CAN reverse engineering &
protocols and a quite complex FreeRTOS application running on a dual
core processor. It's amazing what can be done with the little ESP32.
Plus you've got an open source hardware you can easily extend and
adapt, and connect other devices to via Wifi.<br>
<br>
Regarding Bolt support, a quick quack reveals
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://allev.info/boltpids/">https://allev.info/boltpids/</a>. If that's not sufficient you can
easily extend on that using the OVMS. A primer on CAN RE:

<br>
Regarding educational projects, you may find some inspiration in the
example plugin:<br>

<br>
An inspiration for small & fun hardware projects around the OVMS
could be the WifiConsole:<br>

Hello, I’m interested in “rationalizing” our EV experience — and
having a coding project to share with my daughter and nephews — so
I’ve decided to see what I can do with OVMS.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We have a 2022 Kia Niro EV and a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt
2LT. My hope is to be able to use the OVMS app in place of the
Kia UVO and Chevrolet On Star apps, so I’m quite interested in
working on Bolt support, and the possibility of getting the
remote start (e.g., cabin preheat) working on the Niro.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My software development background is primarily with
OS development and maintenance (BSD Unix). These days I’m
teaching high school CS, so I’m eager to have a “real” project
to work on. With luck, my OVMS hardware will be arriving this
week.</div>

<div class="">Best, Doug</div>
