[Ovmsdev] Presentation and first questions

Hi,

I'm Romuald, a FLOSS enthusiast, and I'm working on a project where I'm going to use OVMS platform as a part of the vehicle hybridisation system.

To reach my goals, I'll have to:

• Read two CAN buses to grab and display values on a HUD
• Make an expansion board with some IC which requires to talk using I²C
• Publish events on a third CAN bus which exposes additional sensors values

I have a lot of questions about the really exiting OVMS board and platform, to start here are my firsts:

• Is there is any trap I should take care that is not described in users or developers documentation regarding my goals?
• Is there is any place where I can find some prototype boards¹?
• Could someone guide me to be able to periodically wrote values on CAN bus using the OVMS code architecture²?

Thanks for this awesome project!

[1] I bough my OVMS from OpenEnergyMonitor and unfortunately none are sold [2] It's about read some sensors, compute values and provide results at a traditional CAN frequency on the bus.
