OVMS logo

We need to change the OVMS logo, to better reflect the vehicle independence. The existing logo is too much Tesla. Felix has kindly prepared a couple of options for us, attached below. My preference is for the one with the car outline (even though it retains a hint of Tesla), as it emphasizes the vehicle comms aspect. This is quite urgent, as the Teslive people are pushing for artwork. What do you guys/gals think? Regards, Mark

C18 compiler (linux)

Can anyone point me to the location on the microchip site for the C18 compiler for linux? I've hunted & found 3.46 for windows (under legacy/devtools/mplab c compiler for pic18 ) but can't find for linux I'm ok to use either windows (native/host) or linux (ubuntu, under virtualbox) but read in the development docs that the windows compiler is dubiuous... thanks Nigel. -- ---- Nigel Jones

Hello, & Nissan Leaf support
by Nigel Jones 29 Apr '14

Hey there....... I just wanted to pop in and give a quick wave... I've had my (leased) nissan leaf Gen.1 for 2 years and love it. I've got hold of a leafdd to keep a closer eye on battery level but am especially interested in OVMS for monitoring/recording data in near real time. I am aware there's no supported leaf support yet, though I do know some work was done. There's also been some work on the CAN bus(es) by the guy working on leafdd, and other projects over at mynissanleaf.com I'm a developer by background, even if my current job role is more around integration & architecture so there seemed to be a match here - has a leaf to try, interested in getting hands dirty with the code. So my plan is to get hold of some OVMS hardware, take a look through the code (I have done a git clone already), review this mailing list & see how I can contribute, specifically in terms of the leaf specific support. It's been a while since I've had the C compiler out but it used to be my bread and butter (mostly working on voice/telecoms systems including embedded HW, though much more sophisticated) Rome wasn't built in a day, and I have a full time job & other commitments but planning to give this a shot. It's only fair to mention I do work in IT for IBM UK, but this activity is purely on personal time (with agreement by my employer of no conflict of interest). Anyway - Hi! http://about.me/planetf1 -- ---- Nigel Jones

[Dev] SoC from logs
by Julien (JaXX) Banchet 29 Apr '14

Hello, This could be a question for Nikki, as it has been blogged at http://www.aminorjourney.com/?p=259 But having kept all of GPS and PWR logs for the last 6/7 months, I would love to enrich my database and thingspeak (http://things.tools.jaxx.org/) charts with a SoC level field. (my thingspeak is closed off for public, don’t wanna give away my cars’ availability for robbery ;-) ) And as silly as it may sound, I can’t see how to determinate that (without issuing a Stats? command by text), it’s probably right under my nose, but hey… It’s like lego parts, you never find the part you look for until you've moved on to something else. I’d extrapolate nice efficiency (W/km %/km) graphs Can anyone point me in any direction? Thanks in advance. -- Julien (JaXX) Banchet
