Tom, Did you ever resolve this linker error? Someone else is also reporting the same now. Regards, Mark.

OVMS Jabberwocky day
by Mark Webb-Johnson 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Seeing Rafael turn on the social group ELECTRICRACE so OVMS users around the world could see him gives me an idea. How about an OVMS Jabberwocky day? For one day, or one hour of that day, OVMS users around the world join the same group. Due to the privacy issues, I don't expect anywhere near 100% take-up, but It would be an interesting way to visualise the global reach of OVMS and perhaps connect with other users near you. I suggest the OVMS social group name JABBERWOCKY and date Thursday 14th June 2012, @2pm UTC (GMT), or thereabouts. I've picked day-time for Europe and USA, to reduce privacy concerns for those areas. Here's the notice, and how to participate: OVMS Jabberwocky Day - 14th June 2012, @2pm UTC (GMT) To celebrate the global take-up of OVMS, users willing to give up their privacy for an hour or so, should all join the same social group so we can see the location and vehicleids of each other's cars. We can see where we are around the world. Here are the details: Participation is entirely optional. By participating, you will be allowing anyone and everyone to see the location of your car, it's speed, SOC and vehicle ID. If you choose to participate, you can participate for 1 day, 1 hour, or for however long you want. The control is entirely in your hands. Those that want to participate should use the smartphone Apps to set their "Social Group" parameter to JABBERWOCKY. You should set this some time before 2pm UTC on Thursday 14th June 2012. Please also ensure that your car and apps are using the tmc.openvehicles.com server. Those that want to see the participants on the smartphone apps can just use the GROUPS feature in the map tabs to add group JABBERWOCKY and see it. Those that want to see the participants from a PC, on a global map can go to maps.google.com and enter the following into the search box: http://tmc.openvehicles.com:6868/group?id=JABBERWOCKY (if you want to test this today, you can replace ELECTRICRACE as the group id, to see Rafael's position in his round-the-world race). Once you remove the social group parameter from your car module, it will stop sending location updates to that group, and be removed when it times out some time later (or RESET the module to disconnect and be immediately removed). A good idea, or lousy because of privacy concerns? Mark.

More Cars: Twizy and Tazzari

Hi there, I would consider myself slightly experienced in tech and love EVs. As I've read, you're currently changing the architecture of OVMS to become more modular to support more vehicles. I would love to support the project and I own these cars which are all waiting for the OVMS: Opel Ampera (OBD2) Renault Twizy (OBD2) Tazzari Zero (weird port) How am I able to support the development? Regards, Patrick

OVMS Android Lead
by Mark Webb-Johnson 09 Jun '12

09 Jun '12

Sonny is having to concentrate on his day-job, as he has a very large project that is demanding his attention for the next few months. And, even beyond that, longer-term it is best for him to concentrate on the hardware and China factory side of things anyway. With the new high-res Android phones and tablets coming out, the Android OVMS App is starting to feel unloved ;-) So, we're looking for someone (or someones) to take on support of, and extensions to, the Android App. Someone to lead the Android side of things (working with me and Felix on the graphics side). Any takers? Please eMail me at the usual mark(a)webb-johnson.net. Thanks, Mark.

Fwd: Open Vehicle 1.2.9 (20120606) is now available
by Mark Webb-Johnson 06 Jun '12

This one may be buggy, so take care. It has homelink support (which needs testing, please). It also has some bug fixes and provisional support for the temperate, speed and distance units conversion (see settings in Settings App). Note that settings also has a new privacy setting "Share Vehicle Colour". If enabled, it will share you vehicle colour to any groups you subscribe to (so other users subscribing to the same group can see your car in the correct base colour).

Rafael - Around the world in 80 electric days
by Mark Webb-Johnson 05 Jun '12

05 Jun '12

He had his doubters, but hats off to Rafael for the progress he's made. He left spain on 11th May, drove up to Germany, then DHLed the car to New York, arriving on the 21st. Now, a week later, he's reached Colorado - about 2/3rds the way across the USA. What's the connection to OVMS? Well, he's one of our early OVMS adopters and has OVMS in his car (using a global roaming SIM), uploading status to the servers and his website. He's also using the smartphone app to get alerted to charge interruptions (and he's got a lot of charge stops along the way). The Google Maps tracking data (KML) comes directly from the OVMS status updates. He's also demonstrating and promoting OVMS every opportunity he gets (leaving a wake of impressed Tesla store staff along the way). You can follow his progress at: http://www.1e-race.com/ Unfortunately, he can't get permission to drive through Hong Kong, so I won't get to directly support him, but he's heading to the west coast of USA now, so perhaps you guys in his path could meet up and help him out. Perhaps a convoy? Mark.

Tesla Roadster - CAN reverse engineer - id#100 B1=05
by Mark Webb-Johnson 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

Working on my can-re-tool, I tried parsing some old logs, and this one popped out as obvious when viewing it as ASCII (doh, why didn't I think of that before?): id#100 B1=05 My sample data: 100 05 44 01 00 48 4B 00 00 .D..HK.. Michael Stegen has: 100 05 44 01 00 4E 4C 00 00 .D..NL.. It also seems that rather than the usual B1 uniqueness for this message, B2 also matters. ID#100 B1=05 B2=44 seems to have the country of the car. I'm also seeing B2=12, B2=14 and B2=46. Data for those is: 100 05 12 01 00 03 06 04 00 100 05 14 01 00 28 00 00 00 100 05 46 01 00 15 F5 17 00 Could these be the elusive car firmware version messages? In particular, '100 05 12' looks suspiciously like my previous firmware version 4.6.3, and '100 05 14' shows B5=28 which is the HW Pkg 40 (decimal) of the old firmware version as well. These don't appear in all logs (which is probably why we didn't see them before), but in the log I get the most of these, I see a prior ID#102 transmission from the VDS: 1320743357.560 R11 102 04 12 1320743357.584 R11 102 04 14 1320743357.607 R11 102 04 44 1320743357.708 R11 100 05 12 01 00 03 06 04 00 1320743357.709 R11 100 05 14 01 00 28 00 00 00 1320743357.709 R11 100 05 44 01 00 48 4B 00 00 1320743357.828 R11 102 04 12 1320743357.831 R11 100 05 12 01 00 03 06 04 00 1320743357.851 R11 102 04 14 1320743357.856 R11 100 05 14 01 00 28 00 00 00 1320743358.009 R11 102 04 12 1320743358.011 R11 100 05 12 01 00 03 06 04 00 1320743358.031 R11 102 04 14 1320743358.034 R11 100 05 14 01 00 28 00 00 00 Time to take my laptop to the car and see what else I can coax out from there.... My car firmware has since been upgraded to 4.6.5, so this should be simple to confirm. Regards, Mark.

Hi everyone

Hi, I've just signed up here so it will probably take me a while to get up to speed on the work done so far. First off, can you advise me on what cable I need to obtain to pull logs (I saw RScott's program link) and also where to buy one? Thanks, David
