Michael, (taking this back to the list, as other developers may have helpful ideas or suggestions) from a first check, your new patch (PR #1008) won't help for vehicles that don't use the poller, like the generic DBC vehicle or the Fiat 500 (plus possibly non-public third party vehicles). As the poller is normally compiled in, these would need a run time switch to re-enable the vehicle task, or more suitably default into that configuration and switch to the poller task only when the poller gets initialized. How about moving the task back into the vehicle class, but keeping your task message extensions while doing so, and adding a way for the poller to hook into the task? The dedicated vehicle task is an essential part of the vehicle framework, but I do remember some occasions where a general way to pass custom messages to the vehicle task would have been helpful to use the task for more than CAN processing. If the poller shall become avaible as a separate service that can be used without any vehicle instance (currently not a defined use case), the construct of a CAN processor task that can be extended for custom messages (or a message processor task that can subscribe to CAN frames) could be factored out into a dedicated class or template. The poller could then create his own instance of that class, if it cannot hook into an existing one. Btw, in case you're not aware of this, FreeRTOS also provides queue sets (https://www.freertos.org/RTOS-queue-sets.html) We haven't used them in the OVMS yet, but they could be useful, especially if message unions become large or tasks shall be able to dynamically subscribe to different message sources.

OVMS Poller module/singleton
by Michael Geddes 28 Apr '24

28 Apr '24

Hey all, The poller singleton code that I've been working on for over a year now is merged in. (Thanks Michael for expediting the final step). This includes separate multi-frame states per bus and multiple poll lists as well as non-blocking one off queries. As well as more 'states'. I have included some programming documentation in the change but am happy to supply more if needed. The ioniq 5 code has some examples of how it can be used. Some examples are: * grabbing the vin as a one shot without blocking * having a short list of queries that are polled quickly for obd2ecu (this also demonstrates using a shorter frame break value and then a break after successful a response) Have a play please! Also interested in hearing what user tools might be worth looking at next for the poller object. //.ichael G.

OBD poller module shell proposal
by Michael Geddes 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

Hi all, I know some of this (especially for the status) functionality is predicated on code that's not gone up yet - however this is allowing 'pause' and 'resume' of the poller (which has been merged). My question is not so much about the functionality and status information, but about the location of the *poller* subcommand. (See below). Should 'vehicle' be exclusively for switching the vehicle type? Should the 'poller' command be top-level? Under obdii? Thoughts welcome. If you do vehicle poller pause then the last line reads 'Vehicle OBD Polling is paused' //. -------8<---------------------------------------- *OVMS# vehicle ?* Usage: vehicle [list|module|poller|status] list Show list of available vehicle modules module Set (or clear) vehicle module poller OBD polling status status Show vehicle module status *OVMS# vehicle poller ?* Usage: vehicle poller [pause|resume] pause Pause OBD Polling resume Resume OBD Polling *OVMS# vehicle poller* OBD Polling running on bus 1 with an active list Time between polling ticks is 1000ms with 1 secondary sub-ticks Last poll command received 1s (ticks) ago. Vehicle OBD Polling is running.

Upgrading Mongoose ?
by Michael Geddes 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

I've been looking at the work of Ludovic in updating OVMS to the new framework. I've even put up a few pull-requests where this work has uncovered bugs due to improvements in the compiler. Ludovic did a great job in also updating the Mongoose library. For those unaware, the big issue is that there was a massive reworking of the library just after the point where ovms forked the library. I suspect some/many? of the changes that were made in our fork are no longer required. There was a lot done in moving some of the work that had to be done in the callers (ovms) code into the mongoose code which is great - and Ludovic has done that conversion - there are just a few more things that needed to be done on top of that. One of the things they did was remove mg_locals.h which allowed us to configure mongoose from our own custom include. The other really annoying thing they did was to remove the use of MG_ALLOC, MG_CALLOC in place of malloc( calloc( etc. The problem with this is for freertos they define #define calloc(a, b) mg_calloc(a, b) #define free(a) vPortFree(a) #define malloc(a) pvPortMalloc(a) without any further condition. Tihs means we don't have a way of defining these to our own versions which is what we originally did... well not without forking the mongoose (which maybe we do anyway). It also means that any of our files that include mongoose.h will have these redefined away from our own versions of these. Fortunately it seems we don't use those much. I also noticed that even the latest Mongoose MQTT doesn't appear to support aliases (and therefore optimising the amount of data used by a v3 server).. but it appears that wolfmqtt does - so should we be using that instead as a mqtt client?? Does anybody else have some further input on this?? //.

Munging the sender
by Mark Webb-Johnson 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

Just an FYI: to try to workaround problems with DMARC and recent anti-spam policies deployed by Google and others, we have enabled the option on this mailing list to ‘munge’ the sender. Messages sent to this list will now appear to come from “<Your name> via OvmsDev” and from the list address, not your own personal eMail. Hopefully this will improve the deliverability (especially from those sending from domains with DMARC policies). Regards, Mark.

EV6/IONIQ5
by N A 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

I'm completely new to OVMS but very interested in learning how to contribute. I have an EV6 and would love to be able to use it with this system. I looked through the listserv archives and have noticed a few requests and discussions about the Kia EV6 but no indication that it's being worked on. If not, I'd like to see if I can help. I know that there are folks working on the IONIQ5, which is very similar to the EV6, so, my first question -- has anyone tried to use the IONIQ configuration on an EV6? If they do share a platform, which could be the case, it would seem possible that it is already supported, just not officially -- or am I mistaken? If so, I'm happy to order an OVMS box and test things out. If not, I'd like to see what else I could do to get the EV6 supported and/or perhaps collaborate with others.

OVMS Server GCM/FCM migration
by Michael Balzer 14 Apr '24

14 Apr '24

Everyone running an own server instance, I've just merged the FCM development branch into "master" for the server. There were issues with occasionally frozen child processes with the initial standard fork scheme under heavy load. Thanks to a hint by Mark, I could rework the message delivery to use AnyEvent::Util's fork_call, which has been running rock steady for a week now on my production server. See the README section on Android push notifications if you haven't done the migration yet. Keep in mind, the old API will be disabled on June 20. Regards, Michael -- Michael Balzer * Helkenberger Weg 9 * D-58256 Ennepetal Fon 02333 / 833 5735 * Handy 0176 / 206 989 26
