Probably the best you can do is do a log. If you the do log monitor yes and enable the channel it will appear. I think you need to take a step back and say what your original problem is. Remember multiple 'writers' can be active / temporarily created depending //. On Fri, 13 Sept 2024, 20:40 Michael Balzer via OvmsDev, < ovmsdev@lists.openvehicles.com> wrote:
The short answer is: you can't.
There is no "current" writer. If a function may need to output text to a writer, you need to pass the writer pointer to that function.
In case of functions that may be called within a user command execution and shall then provide output, add the writer to the signature, and only use it when it's not null. If the output is important, send it to the log if the writer is null.
If you need to reduce the output for certain output channels, you'll also want to pass the "verbosity" parameter along with the writer pointer.

Hi all,
I have a dumb question: how do I get access to the current "writer" object in a "regular" function in my vehicle code (not defined by RegisterCommand)?
Thanks!
