Everyone, Thanks for the reports. Here are some updates for the Android app in the market: 1. The PIN and current entry bugs are fixed. Sorry about the new bugs. 2. Screen rotation for the first two tabs are disabled for now because horizontal screens are getting too crowded on phones. I'm working on a new custom horizontal layout. Rotation will be enabled soon. 3. A new 4x1 home screen widget has been added to the latest version. Please note that it will only show up in the add widgets list when the app is installed inside phone memory (not SD card). This seems to be an Android restriction. 4. The widget is highly experimental and will be improved over upcoming updates. The way the app works now is that it closes the server TCP connection when it goes to background. As such, the widget's data can refresh only when the main app is opened. While I want to keep the TCP shutdown behavior, in the next version, at least the parking meter will remain live all the time. 5. The app has been over 5MB in size for some time. 90%+ of that goes to the very nice car layout graphics (one for each roadster color). As a low priority task, I'm going to make the app download the car images the first time you use them. This will make app updates speedy and conserve some bandwidth for limited data plans. Michael, can you check the TCP log in the Android app to see if SMS,IP is sent after you tap commit? And when you tap refresh, does SMS,IP show up in the TCP log, under [RX] prefix? Thanks.

Sonny, Mark, others,
Thanks, the new update fixed the charge mode issues.
Some bugs:
I'm seeing the same two digit PIN limit now.
Also, setting the Charge current, causes a forced close of the app. (might be related to the beta ICS version i have on my phone right now)
The app also shows SMS/Paranoid Mode Password. Aren't those two different params? The app shows the SMS password "OVMS"
Somehow the notification mode setting is displayed as SMS only, instead of "SMS, IP" I changed it in the app, rebooted the module, but it doesn't stick. (at first i tought it did, but now it's back to "SMS" only)
Regards, Michael

Hard reset performed. Module working again.
Pin entry still limited to 2 characters.

Problem confirmed still. Module doesn't seem to be responding even after the reboot request.
Another popped up, pin entry in app limited to 2 characters.

Mark,
Will Do. Waiting on it now. I'll run a test after I get out of my first class.

Michael,
I just tried from the iPhone App I'm working on, and all seems ok.
- Car was not charging, standard mode with limit 13A on a 70A HPC. - I sent a charge mode command to RANGE mode, and car switched to range mode, started charging at 13A and reported charging,range. - I sent a charge mode command to STANDARD mode, and car switched to standard mode, while charge continued at 13A and reported as charging,standard. - I sent a charge limit command to 32A, then car sent back limit 32A and within a few seconds increased the current at the car to 32amp. - I sent a charge limit command to 70A, then car sent back limit 70amp and within a few seconds increased the current at the car to 70amp.
Sonny says he has fixed the Android App charge mode and the version in the market should be ok now. Can you try that?
If the new version has not yet been released, perhaps selecting performance mode will enter range mode (assuming 3=2 and 4=3)?
Regards, Mark.

Michael,
I tried issuing the commands manually on the can bus and can switch modes shown on the VDS.
N.B. There is a bug in the Android App on the marketplace - it gets the mode numbers wrong (I guess 0..3 not 0,1,3,4).
I'm implementing this in the iPhone App tonight, so should be able to test later.
Regards, Mark.

I can confirm that switching between charge modes does not work 100%. I tried switching to range mode, and then start charging from the app.
The battery indicator in the car changes, i.e. the top of the battery is visible. Range does not change, also charge mode visible on the VDS does not change (still standard charging)
On the (Android) app , it's shows the same. After i stopped the charging, i received a SMS that does not start with Range - or Standard - just "Charging Stopped, ideal range ..etc"
Tonight i'll try to send the commands manually on the CAN bus, to see if i see any difference in behaviour.
Btw, i do receive a "Hello World" push message on my android phone, but not on the Ipad. I'm not using any testflight version anymore, but the one from the appstore.
Btw2, when a charge is stopped, i used to receive a push message + SMS, this somehow does not work anymore for me. I only receive the SMS
Btw3, the car powers up fine, and starts charging, even if left unused (but connected) for over a day.

P.S. Could someone fix the display so it reads Range Mode instead of Standard Mode when switched from standard to range? (Much appreciated.)
Is this Android App?
If so, Sonny (again): modes are 0=standard, 1=storage,3=range,4=performance
P.S. What happened to mode 2? Did there used to be a mystery fifth mode?

Mark,
Yes, fully repeatable, reproducible, and verifiable.
When not woken up first, none of the commands work.
I will restart the module and try further.
It will disarm the alarm and allow it to be driven.

William,
Is it repeatable?
ie; plug in, stop charge. wait 5 minutes until coolant pump turns off, then try start charge from the app.
Also, are other commands working (like lock/unlock)?
After setting the feature for write-enabled CAN bus, you need to restart the module. If not, none of the commands will work. If at least one of the commands is working, then that is fine.
Regards, Mark.
P.S. Not wishing to hijack this thread, but since you are in the USA - could you test the lock/unlock commands for us on your US car? Supposedly, the US cars don't have an immobiliser so that the UNLOCK command will disable the alarm and allow the car to be driven. Please try and let us know.

Mark,
Yes, I did and to no avail. I had purposefully let the car sit until it went into power save mode and tried again, no joy.
Might it have something to do with the new FW on the roadster? (4.6.4 I think is the FW that is on mine.) My roadster is a 2.5.

Current (1.2.0-rc3) code is:
void can_tx_setchargecurrent(unsigned char current) { while (TXB0CONbits.TXREQ) {} // Loop until TX is done TXB0CON = 0; TXB0SIDL = 0b01000000; // Setup 0x102 TXB0SIDH = 0b00100000; // Setup 0x102 TXB0D0 = 0x05; TXB0D1 = 0x02; TXB0D2 = 0x00; TXB0D3 = 0x00; TXB0D4 = current; TXB0D5 = 0x00; TXB0D6 = 0x00; TXB0D7 = 0x00; TXB0DLC = 0b00001000; // data length (8) TXB0CON = 0b00001000; // mark for transmission while (TXB0CONbits.TXREQ) {} // Loop until TX is done
can_tx_wakeup(); // Also, wakeup the car if necessary }
void can_tx_wakeup(void) { while (TXB0CONbits.TXREQ) {} // Loop until TX is done TXB0CON = 0; TXB0SIDL = 0b01000000; // Setup 0x102 TXB0SIDH = 0b00100000; // Setup 0x102 TXB0D0 = 0x0a; TXB0DLC = 0b00000001; // data length (8) TXB0CON = 0b00001000; // mark for transmission while (TXB0CONbits.TXREQ) {} // Loop until TX is done }
That should work. Pre-rc3, I used to see this, but since rc3 it has been ok for me.
Maybe the bus was busy and lost the wakeup message? Did you try sending any other commands, or repeating the start charge command?
What is the version of your car (2.x or 1.5?).
Regards, Mark.
P.S. There is also a specific command C,18 that calls the CAN wakeup function. Not sure if the Android App supports it or not.

Mark,
Feature Needed: Wake Up command.
I tried to send the start charge command from my android phone and it wouldn't start to charge or change charging mode, etc. without being woken up by opening/closing the doors/trunk/remote/etc.
I am using the latest release (1.20) and the Android app.
