Hi all,
I'm happy to see that it looks like
development of the Kia Soul EV firmware
is going to continue, thanks to Micheal
and Geir!
I went out and bought a dedicated SIM
for the OVMS kit yesterday and flashed
the OVMS with 0.2 of the Kia Soul
firmware and I flashed the EEPROM as
well since this is a new installation
and there's nothing on the kit yet.
It's still not working unfortunately.
When I plug it into the car, the red LED
comes on for a few seconds, then the red
and green flash a bit, and then they
both stay off for about 10-15 seconds,
then the green flashes 10 times, then 9
times, then I think 8 or 9 times, and
then the red LED flashes a few times
while the green is flashing, and then
then both start to flash on and off
extremely fast, so fast that it looks
like they are both on solid. They stay
like this for about 7 or 8 seconds, and
then it starts all over again from the
10, 9 on green.
I've followed the Roadster guide to
getting this up and running, I've
cleaned the SIM contacts and I've tried
two different SIM cards, so I'm a bit
lost as to what I can try next.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Rob

Welcome Robert :-)
Basic setup of the Kia firmware is the
same as for other models. So you can
follow the Roadster guide or one of
the Twizy guides first.
You wrote to me you got the module
from a friend, so you should first
flash once without preserving EEPROM
to get a clean config to start with.
Follow Marks link to the support FAQ
if you get stuck in the config
process. To diag LED flash codes, also
take a look at the state machine
diagram in the main docs folder. If
you need help, describe exactly (!)
which doc you've been following and
what you have done so far.
If you're stuck at 10/9... maybe you
should first check if the SIM card has
contact.
Kia V0.1 only reads some first status
messages and obtains the VIN if you
enable CAN write access (FEATURE 15
1). I've currently got one positive
and one negative test feedback for
this version.
Would be great if you could also check
V0.2 -- it's in my account on github:
https://github.com/dexterbg/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System
...hex:
http://dexters-web.de/f/kiasoul/OVMS-KiaSoul-0.2.zip
This _should_ be able to show some
first OBD diag data dumps (DEBUG 1 /
5)... as I don't have a Kia, I need
qualified beta test feedback.
Regards,
Michael

Hi all,
I'm replying to Micheal Balzer's
email from yesterday. I wasn't on
the mailing list until late
yesterday afternoon, hence I'm not
able to click reply.
I've got a Kia Soul EV 2016 in
Canada which doesn't have the UVO
services, so this is of great
interest to me.
I have the OVMS kit in front of me,
but I'm a total newbie, so I'm
reading through some guides to get
started.
Just wanted to say that I'll gladly
be the guinea pig for this.
What I'd REALLY like is to have a
way to remotely turn on the climate
control system to warm up/cool down
the car at will. Hopefully that's a
remote possibility. Tracking it is
cool, but controlling it is even
better. I'm used to a Tesla (my
other car), so I am quite spoiled.
I did get Micheal's firmware
installed on the OVMS and hooked it
up to the car but it's not booting
properly (based on status LEDs).
Can that be because of the firmware
or is the bootup sequence separate
from the car-control code?
The LEDs flash like - 10 Green, 9
Green, 10 Green, 9 Green, then a few
reds, then green and red flash
together really fast.
I tried sending text messages to the
board and no dice.
Any help would be appreciated,
looking forward to getting this
working!
Robert
