Por favor, necesitamos estás funciones. Hemos confiado comprando el dispositivo... Creo que lo merecemos....
We are limited by what the car can show on the CAN BUS, and what we can decode (or discover) as available. Very willing to implement these features, but we need the codes (which are not publicly available).
Did you already see that ? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xcfdSGDaqfs
I'm in the middle of implementing extended Volt/Ampera support for OVMS (see my fork for preliminary work) and I'll make a pull request when it gets more stable and is usable on the mobile app. However most of the interesting stuff and functionality happens on Single-Wire CAN (SWCAN, Low speed GMLAN) bus and unfortunately the CAN transceivers OVMS uses (MCP2515) won't be able to drive SWCAN with full functionality. It should be able to read and write CAN messages without bus errors, but waking the car (for unlocking/locking doors, remote heating, getting metrics updates etc) requires driving the SWCAN bus to 12 volts (High Voltage Wake Up) and this MCP2515 is unable to do. To fully utilize OVMS on Volt/Ampera, a proper SWCAN transceiver is needed (like TH8056), so I ended up designing an add-on SWCAN board for OVMS. The actual hardware now works on my Ampera, but software side needs more polishing. At this stage everything is very experimental, so if anybody's interested, you do need some DIY/tinkering skills to produce the pcb, source the components and hand-solder the SMDs.. So definitely not ready for end-users yet :)
Good job mjuhanne In Spain there are many users who would be interested. Would it be possible to ask a company to mount the board? Thx
Any updates here @mjuhanne ? Did you get anywhere with the hardware?
@Artanicus Hi,
I haven't done any development or testing using OVMS for over year now since I sold my Ampera and bought a Tesla Model S, but I can comment on its status back then:
In summary, if MyVoltStar can be used to control your car then OVMS+SWCAN board combo might be worth your while. Otherwise you are stuck with just status updates which are IMHO not that useful (In my case 95% of the occasions I use Tesla app is for climate control).
I've got a Volt with an OnStar module, if you need someone to test.
I'm a decent Python dev, and lately I've been trying to learn this car stuff, but I don't think I can contribute much to the code.
Hi community, is there any updates? Or something I can help? Recently bought Chevy volt 2013 and ordered ovms. How can I help with developing?
We are trying to produce a standard SWCAN board. See here:
https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues/704
Once that is produced, then perhaps a developer will step forward to see what can be done with it on the Volt/Ampera.
Opel Ampera / Chevrolet Volt users need to be included with priority:
In a less priority way:
We are many users of Opel Ampera / Chevrolet Volt with OVMS that we miss these functions, which already has, for example, Tesla Roadster or Nissan Leaf.
I am also sure that if these features are added, many more users of these VE will buy an OVMS. Thank you
