Hello! I saw the announcement of the hack-a-day for LEAF, and thought I would see if I can be of any help. I am not much of a coder, but I would be happy to provide some ODBII captures. I have a 2014 model year S trim (US) with the 6.6kW charger and DC port. If you need any specific data, please let me know! -Jeff Orr 2014 LEAF S, California

hack-a-Leaf day
by Mark Webb-Johnson 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

I’ll be in UK between July 7th and 22nd (arriving, leaving, those dates). I’m staying around the Oxford area. I have quite a few commitments that I’ll firm up on the 7th so will know what days I have free then. I thought it might be cool to arrange a hack-a-Leaf day, trying to get OVMS working in 1 day on the Nissan Leaf (EV CAN bus). I have modules and cables, a laptop, USB-serial adaptor, USB-CAN adaptor, and PICKIT3. I need a Leaf, a location to do the work, and some help. I’ve got a rental car, so can drive anywhere with a couple of hours of Oxford. Please eMail me with the days that are possible for July 8th through 23rd for you, if you can help out. Also, if anyone is in the Oxford area and wants to meet up, just let me know. Thanks, Mark.

server documentation discrepancies
by Lee Howard 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hello All, I'm finding some apparent discrepancies in the limited documentation (one README file) for the server. If I'm missing something please feel free to clue me in. 1) "The car protocol is built on UDP using encrypted communication packets." I do not see ovms_server.pl opening or listening on a UDP socket. I see it operating on TCP ports 6867 and 6868. 2) "The server also includes a web interface for basic functions such as setting the password, registering the car and checking status." I do not see this web interface anywhere. The documentation is severely lacking in explaining what the various perl scripts do... although in most cases this can be deduced with some examination. The perl scripts, themselves, contain little-to-no internal comments. As I presently don't really need to have the web interface mentioned in #2 I would be happy to configure the user and car accounts manually from a MySQL command-line. However, since the SQL database structure is undocumented, it appears that I'll need to just do my best at guessing how that's done. Thanks, Lee. -- *Lee Howard* *Mainpine, Inc.
