Hi Erick,

good to see that you have started to get the e-Golf up and running with OVMS. 

I have tried it a few years ago too based on my expierences with the e-UP. Though I have to say without very much success. The e-Golf and e-UP behave in great parts different on the CAN-bus. But there seems to be more insight on the e-Golf nowadays, so a new approach seems to be more promissing now.

Could you create a "docs" folder with an "index.rst" like in the "vehicle_demo"?

https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/blob/master/vehicle/OVMS.V3/components/vehicle_demo/docs/index.rst

This will make the progress steps clearer to those following your progress with the project.

Regards

Chris

Erick, welcome :)

An initial PR for the initial vehicle support is OK.

For later extensions, try to keep each PR concentrating on a specific
feature/extension.

Split up further on any critical change that may need to be quickly
revertable.

Keep framework and vehicle specific changes strictly separate, only
include vehicle changes in framework commits if they need to be changed
for the framework change.

Use concise but clear commit messages.

Do not submit unvalidated AI results.

Hello!

I recently bought a 2019 eGolf and I'm interested in getting support
for it in the project. Some folks on the OVMS Discord server have code
that appears to work and I've volunteered to try to merge it. I've yet
to run the code myself (I'm still waiting on a harness), but I thought
I'd ask what the process might look like. Do you want small pull
requests where each one covers a single, small feature? Are you okay
with merging everything at once, provided it doesn't break other vehicles?

Erick
