I think we are overdue for a release. There are some refinements, and the config backup stuff Michael did would be useful to get out. I intend to release to EAP tomorrow, based on whatever we have in HEAD then. Let me know if there is anything that might interfere with that plan. Regards, Mark.

Roadster cooldown
by Stephen Casner 03 Nov '18

03 Nov '18

Last evening I returned home from a trip and decided to try the "charge cooldown" command to cool the battery on my Roadster. I had not tried it before, and I think it may not have worked correctly. I issued the "charge cooldown" command using the shell page of the web UI. The response was a line indicating that the cooldown had started, and I got a notification through server v2 that the car was charging in Range mode. But later the status page in the iPhone app indicated that the car was charging in Standard mode at 32A, which is the full rate from my EVSE. Over the course of half an hour the SOC increased from 42% to 50%, at which point I manually stopped the charge. I thought the cooldown procedure was supposed to charge in Range mode at 12A and not significantly add to the battery charge level. I have not studied the cooldown code, but after a quick look I see that the procedure is more complicated than one might expect, stepping through multiple cycles as needed. Did I do something incorrectly? Or do these symptoms indicate that there might be a problem with the implementation? While the charge was in progress I blindly tried a "charge status" command hoping that it would tell me about the progress of cooldown, but alas that subcommand does not exist. -- Steve

ovms_shell
by Mark Webb-Johnson 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

To help with supporting end-users, I’ve cobbled together a small command line shell for OVMS. It may be of use to others for working on their own cars. You’ll find it in the ovms v2 repository, under clients, as ovms_shell.pl. It should run fine under unix-like operating systems (Mac, Linux, BSD, etc). Perhaps workable under windows, but would require a perl environment. Here is an example of it in use: $ ovms_shell.pl api.openvehicles.com Welcome to the OVMS shell Server is api.openvehicles.com:6867 (can be specified on the command line) Enter 'open <vehicleid> [<password>]' to connect to a vehicle, or 'close' to disconnect ovms> open DEMO DEMO Connecting to DEMO...

It supports both v2 and v3 modules, and doesn’t care - just uses the v2 protocol, and is pretty basic. Messages from the vehicle/server are decoded where implemented, and just dumped on the screen otherwise. Anything you type (other than the system commands ‘open’ and ‘close’) is sent to the car as a type ‘7’ command, and responses shown on the screen. The decodes are not amazing, and at the moment are pretty simple value dumps, but good enough for support purposes. I use it on the server itself, so it defaults to 127.0.0.1 (but that can be changed on the command line). Similarly, if you configure in ovms_shell.conf a mysql server connection, it can read server passwords from the database directly. Otherwise, you can specify the server password as a parameter on the ‘open’ statement. As I said, it is pretty much designed just for my own support use, but might be useful to others. Enjoy. Regards, Mark. P.S. I haven’t been able to contribute much to the project code for the past month or so. Overwhelmed at work, and out of action with a shoulder rotator cuff problem (cortisone injections are wonderful). Anyway, it seems more under control now, so I should be back to contribute more in the coming weeks. I really need to finish off the bluetooth support, and resolve that alloca crash we have been seeing (related to esp32 wifi stack it seems). Then, I have some fun contributions for the roadster (taking advantage of the 3 bus cable we now have).

Config backup & restore
by Michael Balzer 13 Oct '18

13 Oct '18

I've added ZIP archive support. This is based on zlib and libzip, which are included as new submodules, so you'll need to do "git submodule update" after pulling the update. First application is config backup & restore. New commands: * config backup <path> [password=module password] * config restore <path> [password=module password] The backup covers the directories "ovms_config" and "events" from "/store". Restore will only replace those by the restored versions, anything else on "/store" is left untouched. Restore automatically reboots the module on success. Web UI is todo. Note: backup ZIP encryption is AES-256, so you'll need 7z or a similar modern zip utility on your PC.

Privacy Policy
by Mark Webb-Johnson 01 Oct '18

01 Oct '18

We are way overdue from having a privacy policy. Given what we do, it is tough. We are a community project not charging for services, and need to protect both our user’s data and ourselves. I’ve created a draft policy, based on an open source template. It is available here: https://www.openvehicles.com/privacypolicy <https://www.openvehicles.com/privacypolicy> Reading those policy documents is always scary. If anyone has any suggestions to make it less so, while still providing the necessary protections, please help! Regards, Mark.

Kia Soul strangeness
by Mark Webb-Johnson 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

I have some support tickets raised for Kia Soul: https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2095 <https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2095> I have a 2018 Kia Soul EV. App Version: 3.12.4 (20180428) Vehicle: G8-Soul Server: 2.1.1-20121216 Car Firmware: 3.1.010/ota_0/main The nav screen and / or radio comes on. I've only noticed this happening when the Level 2 charger is plugged in. This happens when the vehicle is locked as well. After a few minutes, the radio / NAV screen shuts off (like when it times out, before exiting the car). It will also shut off, as soon as the driver's door is opened. It also happens when the car is not plugged in. and: https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2094 <https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2094> I have a 2018 Kia Soul EV. App Version: 3.12.4 (20180428) Vehicle: G8-Soul Server: 2.1.1-20121216 Car Firmware: 3.1.010/ota_0/main When I lock, unlock, open / close doors, and I even noticed when the hazards lights are on. The app receives: "Unrecognized command", multiple times, sometimes 2-3, sometimes 10-15. Is there a way to disable this? and: https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2093 <https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2093> Im reciving "Unrecognised command" in may iOS app, every time I unlock/lock door, and many other staff. -when i unlock door -when I lock doors -when put on emergency signal -On OVMS i klik, that I want to use trunk knob on key set for opening -If I click on Lock in app ... and then enter PIN ... app crash - if I move "SLIDE TO CHARGE" nothing happened .... by the way, if car is charging, it say that... it should said "slide to stop charging" ( I think) - what means "ideal range" ? .... Estimated range is now 156km ... and Ideal Range is 45km ... what that means I still dont know how to add Soul Picture... in app I now using other car ...Ampera :( My Car KIA SOUL EV 30kW OVMS is version 3 firmware is updated to newest one.. Seems very strange. Any ideas? Any Kia Soul developers here can assist? Regards, Mark.

I tested the I-MiEV code on my car Peugeot iON, but some can messages not work, how can I search for working can messages, I need some special hardware for log can messages or, I can use OVMS hardware. I search for can message codes for internet and have some collision, and I wan't to test it.
