Mark,

yes, the OLEDs are perfect for these things, bright enough for daylight use with very little energy usage.

Thanks for the link to that combined ESP32 module, that's a real beauty, even includes a LiPo supply / charger. I need to check that one out.

Regarding our Javascript support, I already had stunned some users with the foglight plugin, they thought stuff like this would need builtin support. That brought me back to my point about how little users know about our capabilities, so I added an explanation to our docs:

http://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/components/ovms_script/docs/foglight.html

But we really need something like an OVMS cheat sheet as an overview of what is possible.

Regards,
Michael

Michael,

I really like those little OLED SSD1306 based displays. I use them on my esphome+hassio projects like this little water tank level (using an ESP32, a BME280 pressure/humidity/temperature sensor, waterproof ultrasonic distance sensor, and SSID1306 OLED yellow/blue display):


Adding a display to a project makes it so much more useful and easy to diagnose problems.

AliExpress has them very cheap:


There is also a 4MB ESP32 with a 0.96” OLED display on-board:


Glad that you are finding a use for our JavaScript support. I really think that has so many possibilities.

Regards, Mark

FYI: I've just implemented an OVMS v3 style replacement for the SimpleConsole:

V3 makes it pretty easy now to add stuff like this. It's using a script plugin to provide custom functions via the web API.

Michael
