No went for a simpler unit, and made a hole for the exhaust in the rear of the car. Then had it just heat the cabin. Worked quite effective, used a small jackery battery to power it for starting to prevent accidental drain of the 12v. Now that we have a house, also have a normal interior...

I guess like 99.99% of new owners - control remote heating during the winter :) But best I can tell no one has shared how to trigger any sort of actions on I-miEVs? Whether lock/unlock, windows, etc. Let alone activating heating. I spent some time trying to capture and replay, but aside from...

Hi, Have had her since summer of 2022. Battery is showing 70% SoH, it was worse but performed a reset using iCarSoft and it reset and began slowly dropping. Has stabilized around the 70% SoH. It's a great little vehicle for short trips. Regularly filled with materials for home renovation...

Yep, ordered an OVMS before I even picked up the i-miev :) Coming from a tesla, being able to see charge state and whether the car was locked is invaluable. I'm running the backend server myself in GCP. The app for OVMS gives you the information you want, but I did a slight modification for...

I do have OVMS, and quite a bit of can logging equipment now. Just lack the expertise to crack things -- also got busy with work :X To my knowledge no one has ever shared or published the ability to do anything on these cars via CAN. Whether unlock the door, roll down a window, adjust the fan...

If I am not mistaken the traction battery is physically disconnected when the car is parked, making any sort of actual consumption 'impossible'. -- one reason heater, etc does not work until the car is in 'Ready'. The range gauge is some sort of estimate based off consumption+previous driving...

I'd guess those could be from the diag code reading and replying, but need to dig in. On your earlier comments about the way of writing the D0 bit 15 and being confusion. I believe this is from the C code used in OVMS now. The C syntax is D[0] & 15 to get bytes 0-3 of D0. 15 being Binary of...

I don't know how much one can alter the DBC format, since it's the kvaser standard. The positive with having a .DBC is it can be imported by majority of tools one would use working with canbus logs (savvycan, asammdf, kvaser, etc). If there is a spec to generate such a view I'm happy to code it...

I can do such a test this evening! Smart to use something like a brake pedal that is a clear signal. I'll write a couple scripts for doing it as well. Think I was optimistic this would be an 'obvious' new addition. I am so glad I am not the only one that is confused at times by way of...

Ah you are right; the F7*/F8* were another pid. My quick sort was for '3A4' in the dataset then chop just the data, sort, unique. So it found those two lines since they have 3A4 in them:) Should of done grep '3A4#' instead. My bad, shouldn't of tried to quickly assess the logs. I've tried...

I'll just pretend I didn't spend hour(s) staring at those tables trying to make my own joins. :) I did my first sniffing of iCarSoft Max. Few raw logs available here: https://github.com/slackspace-io/imiev-dbc/tree/main/rawLogs 1.) Actuated max fan speed 5x 2.) Actuated 'Max Heat' 5x 3.)...

He is using kvaser tool, which is a windows tool. I did manage to run it on wine, but I'm just generally allergic to graphical tools, clicking, etc. For me the easiest path was writing a script to parse <some input> into the .dbc format. Yaml is a comfortable language. I am making progress...

First attempts at dbc is up; https://github.com/slackspace-io/imiev-dbc I am using the canmatrix python library. I'll add a readme, requirements, virtualenv steps, etc tomorrow. I initially started to just use the script to generate the dbc, and effectively hardcode the python to generate the...

I will have to check out Ida Pro, there is a couple very interesting sounding .ocx files -- like 'canspec'. :) On databases, i dunno there is some interesting sounding structures; DiagInfoIxNo CheckCode SysId LangApply SysChInfo0 SysChInfo1 SysChInfo2 SysChInfo3 SysChInfo4 SysChInfo5...

I went ahead and ordered the Max yesterday, hopefully gets here in a day or two. Also ordered a Y OBD2 connector, so can daisy chain both the iCarsoft and can logger. Should also receive my canEdge 2 today or tomorrow. I did have a very unfortunate realization. The charger we use at our...
