Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion

[slcasner]

Is the OVMS server at tmc.openvehicles.com port 6867 down today? On the iPhone app the antenna icon is just blinking gray, and an attempt to manually connect with TCP to that port gets refused.

Same here... SMS commands work, so I have connectivity from the car...

Same here and the IP address is not reachable.

ping is often not a reliable test for connectivity because the target system or some network component in between may block ICMP packets for various reasons, typically a false belief that it enhances security. In this particular case, I had tested a TCP connection to port 80, and that worked, but the connection to port 6867 was refused.

OVMS server at tmc.openvehicles.com was down. It is back running ok now.

I'm having a bit of a problem with my v1 module. Have you guys ever seen anything like this?

Also I don't know if this is a problem, but this green wire is out...

 

[PV-EV]

I think the green wire is your problem. It should be in the connector with the green/white wire. The green goes to the OVMS board.

I installed mine and all went fine. Most time was spent on disabling the PIN code on the SIM card. My carrier told me I needed to buy some hardware to do so, but I found a free way that could help others here.. I downloaded the trial of Dekart SIM Manager and used a Omnikey 3021 card reader, and with 2 clicks the job was done.

How am I to repair that?

 

[PV-EV]

Look inside the OVMS box. You will see how the wires which are paired up in the connector split, with one set going to each board. You can make the splice there and maybe use a small wire nut. I had some trouble with my V1 connector and ended up getting a new connector and pins to fix it. The new V2 OVMS has a much better connector/cable assembly.

 

[xytor]

Fixing the wire didn't change the behavior of the module when connected to the car I think it may be time to get a v2 module.

 

[PV-EV]

You won't regret it

 

[xytor]

Nevermind, I got it to work.
It was just that some of the settings were still set to the previous owner's. Once I set everything correctly, everything works perfectly.
Next step is mounting
Thanks for the help y'all!

My V2 should arrive in a few days, will install in my 1.5 . xytor, good find on those settings - if I have difficulties I may ask you about them.

Well my v2 module showed up tonight and I'm having no luck getting it to work with my H2O sim card. I can get the module up and running to the point where I can SMS back and forth with it to set command and make queries, but I can't get GPRS to fire up no matter what I do. From what I can tell, I should be able to issue the following command and everything should start working:

GPRS att.mvno - -

But the module will never connect to GPRS after this point. Anybody have any tips, or should I just toss the H2O sim and try out another vendor? Argh....

There is a slide switch on the circuit board. Position the switch away from the LED's for GPRS, towards the LED's for SMS only.

Double and triple checked that early on while going through the setup guide.
