A quick addition:
Chris' work will be covering at least three new vehicles.
The same vehicle drive train & electronics is used on…
- VW e-Up
- SEAT Mii electric
- ŠKODA CITIGOe iV
…also called "the new trio". These are very attractive
vehicles with a good balancing of price and capabilities,
and very good efficiency.
It's quite possible the code can also partially be used on
other VW vehicles (e-Golf, ID.3?), as VW tends to reuse
components & protocols.

Dear OVMS-devs,
my name is Chris van der
Meijden (devmarxx) and I just started a new project on
integrating the VW e-Up into OVMS.
I mailed with Michael and
he provided me with usefull procedure hints. I forked OVMS
V3 and the Android code into my github account
https://github.com/devmarxx?tab=repositories and
commited my changes to the code there. I also started a
pull request, but there is no hurry, because my vehicle
code is just a template at the moment (like the Fiat 500 e
code). The Android code is complete, but Michael is quite
right that it would confuse the users to suddenly see the
VW e-Up when there is still no functionality, so no hurry
there too.
My experience on OVMS so
far is, that have been playing with the code for about 4
years. It started all because at that time I could not use
the Android app on my Cyanogenmod phone due to the "google
services" popup. I checked out the source code, removed
the google check line and voila I could use the app with
my Twizy and with my server :-)
Later we bought a Nissan
Leaf and I came in contact with Tom Parker. I had already
set up the OVMS V2 toolchain, so it was very nice that I
could use Tom's code to get the climate control of the
Leaf to work. Always nice mail contact with Tom. Amazing
the we can work together in New Zealand and Germany
without ever have met. That where good times :-)
So now we bought a VW
e-Up, that will be delivered hopefully in April. So I
thought now is a good time to get started with OVMS for
the VW e-Up. I decided to connect to the vehicle not over
the OBD connector, but through the OCU plug of the VW
e-Up. By doing so I hope to bypass the complicated VW CAN
TP2.0 protocoll and I will have direct access to the the
VW comfort CAN. Time will tell if that is the right
decission.
Well .. So far my little
introduction.
Looking forward to do some
happy coding together.

Chris
