First Production
Batch
This first production batch is intended for
experienced OVMS v2 users and v3 developers.
Please note:
- Firmware is not complete, and
should be considered beta
- Functionality is
approximately equivalent to basic OVMS
v2 firmware, but some advanced features
(such as ACC, SMS control, etc) are not
available yet
- Firmware is far in advance of
v2 in other aspects (such as built in
web server, metrics, console, tcp/ip
support, diagnostics, geofencing,
scripting, etc)
- Firmware can be updated
either Over The Air (OTA), by Micro SD
card, or over USB interface
- Vehicle support currently
includes: Kia Soul EV, Nissan Leaf,
Renault Twizy, Tesla Roadster
Antenna
and Vehicle Connectors
The antenna and vehicle connectors for OVMS
v3 are the same as for OVMS v2, and existing
cables/antennas can generally be re-used for
OVMS v3. Note, however, that the frequency
ranges supported by individual 3G networks
may be different than 2G, so may benefit
from an antenna specifically designed for
the 3G frequency ranges used.
