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

Fwd: OMMS_DEV_SDCARDSCRIPTS
by Mark Webb-Johnson 27 May '19

27 May '19

Steve noticed that the OMMS_DEV_SDCARDSCRIPTS Kconfig value is a typo. I’ve fixed it just now to OVMS_DEV_SDCARDSCRIPTS, but bear in mind that if you’ve set that to other than default (undefined), you will need to re-set before your next build. Regards, Mark

Certification and production
by Mark Webb-Johnson 19 May '19

19 May '19

Glad to say that we’ve passed CE, FCC, and ROHS laboratory certification for our kits. We should get the certificates next week, or the week after. A few small component changes are required (for ROHS - some lead in the usb component, and undesirable plastics in the red antenna covers and wires - all resolved by change of component supplier, and retested ok). We are immediately going ahead with production of the next (big) batch. We’ll need certification numbers for the labels, but that can be done at the last stage (once modules have been produced), so timing should work out ok. Hopefully should have kits back in stock early June. We have also been approached by a distributor in UK who would like to help with EU. Now that we have the certification, we can do that. More information once things there are finalized. Regards, Mark

by Michael Balzer 12 May '19

12 May '19

The Twizy code has finally reached release 1.0. With my recent additions, all V2 features I planned to include in V3 are now done. As we're also again >200 commits from 3.2.001, maybe it's time for 3.2.002? Regards, Michael -- Michael Balzer * Helkenberger Weg 9 * D-58256 Ennepetal Fon 02333 / 833 5735 * Handy 0176 / 206 989 26

Some question
by Tamás Kovács 01 May '19

01 May '19

Can I trace only one specified metrics? I want to find some metrics, can I see only variable datas on CAN network? First I want to get the ambient temperature and the cabin temp values, I though heat the sensor environment and check the variable data, then I only get the formula to use this pid in metric.

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

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
