Today, we are
pleased to release v3.2.006 to Early
Access Program. A summary of the major
changes is here:
2019-11-30 MWJ 3.2.006 OTA release
- Web UI: Calibration and configuration aid for 12v monitor
- Log monitoring via web shell
- EGPIO/MAX7317: Port input monitoring, metrics, events, documentation
- Powermgmt: New automatic power management module
- Scripting: OvmsMetrics.AsJSON(), OvmsEvents, and OvmsNotify added
- Logging: file logging moved to dedicated task (improved performance)
- SWCAN: Support for add-on SWCAN module
(see https://github.com/mjuhanne/OVMS-SWCAN)
- Pushover: New Pushover notification framework support
- SIMCOM: Allow user to set custom SIM PIN code

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.
