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
