Locations and scripts
by ovms 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

Hi I would like to run scripts based on location. The scripts work fine, but the location service stops working. I guess the location service requires CAN1 to be working? Since CAN1 stops receiving after a short period of time, the location service also stops. Is there a way to bypass this so the location service does not depend on CAN1 working? Kind regards, Stein Arne Sordal

BUG? in v3.2.0-1 in vehicle_mitsubishi - flood of BMS-error msg
by Michael Eric Menk 11 Jul '19

11 Jul '19

There is a bug in MIEV code, that bombs the web GUI and phone APP with BMS errors. I suspect that this is because the Peugeot and Citroen branded MIEVs have a 80 cell battery pack vs MIEVs 88cells. Sample of a message: > Voltage: SD=1mV OK > Temperature: SD=1.4C !6:+3.1C !16:+3.1C !18:+3.1C The missing cells could also be used to set the voltage gauge. There are two LEV50-4 missing in the 80 cell pack, number 06 and 12. If a flagg is set while looping the CAN massages, then the flag can be used inside OvmsVehicleMitsubishi::GetDashboardConfig to set correct voltage. The float charge voltage of the 80 cell pack is 328.4 volt

Hi I guess this question is basically for Mark, In Norway the telecom providers have decided to turn off almost all of the 3G network soon and focus on 4G only. Any plan for 4G modem? Kind regards, Stein Arne Sordal

Prototyping expansion board

Design layout. Looks good to me, but open to suggestions... We can make in sets of three PCBs, to keep prices down.

Can buses stop after some time
by Tom Parker 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

Hi all, I synced up with master about a week ago and since then I've seen both can busses stop working. I still see the 12v battery metric changing, but everything that comes from the car stops. Rebooting the module with "module reset" does not seem to fix it, while make app-flash monitor does fix it. I haven't tried make monitor on it's own. Is anyone else seeing behavior like this? Sorry for the vague bug report. I'll spend some time later this weekend to try to gather more information.

Garbage in /store
by Stephen Casner 27 May '19

27 May '19

When I do "vfs ls /store" I get 128 lines like the following: -2146205 01-Jan-1970 00:00 ????????.??? After that comes valid content: [DIR] 01-Jan-1980 00:00 ovms_config/ 83 01-Jan-1980 00:00 .htpasswd The config facility appears to be intact. Does the garbage indicate that the /store filesystem is scrogged and needs to be rebuilt? -- Steve

SD-card issues
by Geir Øyvind Vælidalo 21 Apr '19

21 Apr '19

Hi guys, I’m having some issues with the SD-card stops working after a few minutes. I haven't used the SD for anything yet, except backup of settings, but currently I’ve started to use it for storing status (SOC), trip energy usage and 12V logging. After some time the SD-card just stops working. I don’t get any error messages. Sometimes the ls-command shows the files, but cat-ing the files only gives «OK». Other times the card just seems either empty or the files appears empty. sd unmount and sd mount «fixes» the issue. I’m saving fairly seldom; I append 22 bytes to one file every 5 minutes, saving status (currently only SOC) to another file when charging stops or car is turned off, and then 164 bytes to a third file whenever the car is turned off (used by a new range calculator since I can’t find the proper one from the can-bus ). Reading is done during boot, and then when user access my new AUX Battery monitor-page, so not very often. Therefore, I don’t think there is any issues with my code in respect to file handles, files sizes or strain on the SD-card. Could be wrong though... Any tips to what to try? I plan to try a different SD-card, so any recommendations? Best regards, Geir

Roaming
by Geir Øyvind Vælidalo 18 Apr '19

Hi guys, I just had a trip abroad (Sweden) and my OVMS would’t connect to any phone network. It gave an DeniedRegistration. Has anyone ever tried roaming? The SIM is a twin data card. I don’t know if that is any different from my wife's regular SIM from the same service provider. Her phone had no problems connecting. Geir
