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

3G network

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

Reseller, Vehicle Support Table, Fully Charge Live & Hyundai
by Glyn Hudson 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Great work developing OVMS, I've been running OVMS for nearly a year now in my Nissan LEAF and e-NV200. It's worked flawlessly, so much better than the Nissan Connect. I'm very enthusiastic about EV's and open-source solutions. I'm the co-founder of the https://OpenEnergyMonitor.org project to design and build open-source hardware and software tools for monitoring energy. We have also recently branched out into manufacturing web-connected EV charging stations in collaboration with OpenEVSE. I have been in communication with Mark and Michael regarding reselling OVMS hardware via our web store: http://shop.openenergymonitor.com. I have been working on producing an updated vehicle support table since the table currently on the website is missing a lot of EV's OVMS now supports. Please help me compile this table: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZPC8Rh2OVGgT-EPuN3xdZsomhk1JA0sQ_WTTxTI… I have an exhibitor stand for OpenEnergyMonitor at Fully Charged Live Event in a couple of weeks (7th, 8th, 9th June) in Silverstone, UK. I hope setup a demo display for OVMS. I'm also keen to meetup with any other OVMS devs / enthusiasts at fully changed live. Let me know if you will be attending. Finally, has anyone done any tested with OVMS on a Hyundai Ioniq / Kona EV? I'm aware the Kone shares many of the same EV components as the Kia e-niro therefore OVMS may work with a Kona. It would be really great to support the Ioniq and Kona since these EV's currently do no have app support in Europe. Best wishes, -- All the best, Glyn Hudson +44(0)1248672607 https://openenergymonitor.org https://zerocarbonadventures.co.uk

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.

Vehicle Sub-Modules
by Mark Webb-Johnson 30 May '19

30 May '19

Given that the vehicle modules in v3 are pretty independent, and don’t seem to require any changes to the core code to implement (other than a Kconfig section, and a sub-directory in ‘components’), I’m considering a structural change. The proposal is to make each vehicle an independent GitHub repository, and to use the git submodule functionality to bring them in. The advantage there is that those projects can be split off and maintained by different people. Project owners, looking after their own vehicle types, could directly commit to their own vehicle modules, without requiring this to be centrally managed. What do people think? Is that a sensible way of doing this? Regards, Mark.

OVMS v3 v3.2.002 Over-the-Air firmware update
by Mark Webb-Johnson 27 May '19

27 May '19

Today, we are pleased to release v3.2.002 to general availability. This is the first public v3.2 version, with approximately 200 bug fixes and enhancements (mostly to individual vehicle support modules). A summary of the major changes is here: 2019-05-12 MWJ 3.2.002 OTA release - Locations: Introduce support for location actions - Twizy: Release 1.0.0 -- all V2 features planned are now included in V3 - Vehicle framework: Regenerative braking signal generation - Vehicle framework: DBC and RETOOLS integrations - Vehicles: Extensions to Kia Niro, Kia Soul, Mitsubishi, Nissan Leaf, Renault Twizy, SmartID, Tesla Model S, and Think City For full detail on all changes, check the GitHub revision history. The v3 modules can be updated over the air (wifi), via SD CARD, or over USB - all without requiring special hardware programmers like the PICKIT used for v2. The simplest way to update the module firmware is to connect it as a client to your wifi network (or phone hotspot), and then use the web interface Config / Firmware / Flash-from-Web; that will show you the version you are running, as well as the latest version available for update. One click on 'Flash now' and the update will be downloaded and installed. Alternatively, you can download the firmware update to a file named ovms3.bin in the root directory of a FAT formatted SD CARD and insert the card into the module's slot - the new firmware will be updated automatically and the file renamed ovms3.done to signify completion. This firmware also includes the feature to check for and automatically update to newly available firmware, every night (so long as the vehicle is connected to WiFi). After updating to 3.1.005 or later, you can enable this for future firmware releases with 'config ota auto yes'. You can choose the release level by setting 'config ota tag edge|eap|main', as one of: edge: Bleeding edge developer nightly-builds eap: Early Access Program (full releases, but with little public testing) main: Publicly tested full releases (the most stable) Thank you to all the open source developers who have contributed to this, and previous, releases, and thank you for your support of the project.

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
