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

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.
