Michael,<br>
<br>
I've received the new drive report notifications now; these need to
be changed: please do not use text notifications to transport CSV
data. That's what "data" notifications are meant for, which are
stored in their raw form on the server for later retrieval. See e.g.
the vehicle trip & grid logs for reference on how to build the
messages, or have a look at the specific Twizy and UpMiiGo data
messages.<br>
<br>
Data notifications also are designed to transport one row at a time,
so you normally don't run into buffer size issues. A header can be
supplied as a row, but you normally add one when downloading the
data from the server, so tools don't need to filter these out. I
provide headers automatically on my server for known message types,
just send me your template and I'll include that.<br>
<br>
Apart from that, the timing statistics now seem to work pretty well,
providing valuable insights.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Michael<br>

<div> OK, I see now why it wouldn't send the
notification: the V2 & V3 server register for
notifications up to COMMAND_RESULT_NORMAL = 1024
characters.<br>
<br>
The report quickly becomes larger than 1024
characters, so the notifications no longer get sent
via the server connectors.<br>
<br>
You need to either reduce the size, split the
report, or use data notifications instead.<br>
<br>
On the reset value init: for my float targeting
smoothing helper class for the UpMiiGo, I
implemented a gradual ramp up from 1 to the
requested sample size. You can do something similar
also with powers of 2. IOW, yes, initialization from
the first values received is perfectly OK.<br>

The encoding is a general issue.
The character encoding for text
messages via V2/MP is quite old
& clumsy, it's got an issue
with the degree celcius character
as well. We previously tried to
keep all text messages within the
SMS safe character set (which e.g.
lead to writing just "C" instead
of "°C"). I'd say we should head
towards UTF-8 now. If we ever
refit SMS support, we can recode
on the fly.<br>
<br>
Regarding not seeing the
notification on your phone:<br>
<br>
a) Check your notification
subtype/channel filters on the
module. See <a
href="https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/userguide/notifications.html#suppress-notifications"
target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/userguide/notifications.html#suppress-notifications</a><br>
<br>
b) Check your notification vehicle
filters on the phone (menu on
notification tab): if you enabled
the vehicle filter, it will add
the messages of not currently
selected vehicles to the list
only, but not raise a system
notification. (Applies to the
Android App, no idea about the iOS
version)<br>

It should

I think, the

about how bad
the processing

become.<br>
<br>
The naming in
the table is a
bit confusing
I think.
(besides: I've
never seen
"ave" as the
abbreviation
for average)<br>
<br>
If I
understand you
correctly,
"time ms per
s" is the time
share in per
mille, so
something in
that direction
would be more
clear, and
"length ms"
would then be
"time [ms]".<br>
<br>
The totals for
all averages
in the table
foot would
also be nice.<br>
<br>
Maybe "Ave"
(or avg?) also
should be
placed on the
left, as the
"peak" label
now suggests
being the peak
of the
average.<br>
<br>
Btw, keep in
mind, not all
"edge" users /
testers are
developers
(e.g. the
Twizy driver
I'm in contact
with),
collecting
stats feedback
for vehicles
from testers
should be
straight
forward. Maybe
add a
data/history
record, sent
automatically
on every
drive/charge
stop when the
poller tracing
is on?<br>

<br>
I'd say uint32
is enough
though, even
if counting
microseconds
that can hold
a total of
more than 71
hours of
actual
processing
time. uint64
has a
significant
performance
penalty,
although I
don't recall
the overhead
for simple
additions.<br>
<br>
Also &
more
important, the
average
wouldn't be my
main focus,
but the
maximum
processing
time seen per
ID, which
seems to be
missing in
your draft.<br>
<br>
Second thought
on the
average… the
exact overall
average really
has a minor
meaning, I'd
rather see the
current
average,
adapting to
the current
mode of
operation
(drive/charge/…).
I suggest
feeding the
measurements
to a low pass
filter to get
the smoothed
average of the
last n
measurements.
Pattern:<br>
<br>
runavg =
((N-1) *
runavg +
newval) / N<br>
<br>
By using a low
power of 2 for
N (e.g. 8 or
16), you can
replace the
division by a
simple bit
shift, and
have enough
headroom to
use 32 bit
integers.<br>

Also, from the
time stamps in
Dereks log
excerpt, there
were quite
some dropped
frames in that
time window --
at least 23
frames in 40
ms, that's
bad.<br>
<br>
Queue sizes
are currently:<br>
<br>
<span
style="font-family:"Courier New"">CONFIG_OVMS_HW_CAN_RX_QUEUE_SIZE=60<br>
CONFIG_OVMS_VEHICLE_CAN_RX_QUEUE_SIZE=60</span><br>
<br>
The new poller
now channels
all TX
callbacks
through the
task queue
additionally
to RX and
commands. So
setting the
queue size to
be larger than
the CAN RX
queue size
seems
appropriate.<br>
<br>
Nevertheless,
an overflow
with more than
60 waiting
messages still
indicates some
too long
processing
time in the
vehicle task.<br>
<br>
TX callbacks
previously
were done
directly in
the CAN
context, and
no current
vehicle
overrides the
empty default
handler, so
this imposed
almost no
additional
overhead. By
requiring a
queue entry
for each TX
callback, this
feature now
has a
potentially
high impact
for all
vehicles. If
passing these
to the task is
actually
necessary, it
needs to
become an
opt-in
feature, so
only vehicles
subscribing to
the callback
actually need
to cope with
that
additional
load &
potential
processing
delays
involved.<br>
