Any idea of timing for implementation of the CAC and Open Charge Map integration for Android (I ordered my OVMS Monday and am waiting NOT so patiently :biggrin: for it to arrive)?

Any idea of timing for implementation of the CAC and Open Charge Map integration for Android (I ordered my OVMS Monday and am waiting NOT so patiently :biggrin: for it to arrive)?
As jaanton says (thanks for quick reply), CAC is in the latest Android version.
Not so sure about openchargemap - we got sponsorship for the iOS work for that, so Android version will depend on either sponsorship or someone stepping forward and doing it. I'm very willing to assist, but have too much on my plate to do it myself at the moment.
Assuming you have vehicle type as "TR", OVMS gets the GPS from the vehicle itself via the CAN bus. For it to be all zeros would be strange.
Can you send in SMS output for MODULE? GPRS? SERVER? DIAG and STAT to support (at) openvehicles (dot) com, and we'll have a look.
Regards, Mark.
I've just committed v2.5.3 and pushed to github. I've also tagged it (as v2.5.3) and upload pre-built .hex files in the vehicle/firmware directory.
Short story: v2.5.3 is unlikely to blow up your car, but has probably got lots of bugs, and I need developer help testing to find those bugs and fix them.
Big caveat: this is testing code, please don't use ACC if you _really_ need that charge to get to work / school / the beach / wherever. Don't blame me if your car doesn't start the charge as scheduled.
More details over here: Open Vehicle Monitor System (OVMS) - Technical Discussion - Page 7
and discussion on the OVMS developers mailing list.

Yep. Sorry about that. Low-stock notification screw-ups combined with some large batch orders.
New batch arriving this weekend (9th/10th November), so should be back in stock early next week.
P.S. Fair warning: we cleared out the distributor's stock of Roadster DIAG port connectors, and are finding it harder and harder to get these connectors in less-than-ludicrous quantities (they are now quoting 4 month lead times and minimum quantities in the 1,000+). We managed to get enough for 100 new OVMS roadster cables, which are going into Fasttech stock. If you want OVMS for Roadster, get it now.
P.P.S. Other supported cars not affected. The OBDII connectors are plentiful, as that is a very standard connector type.

finally got my OVMS installed and working (big thanks to bennett and mark for going the extra mile to get me going!)
it is an amazing addition to the roadster!
if you have a roadster you should get one of these for certain.

For those waiting, just a short note to say that both Fasttech and ZeroCarbonWorld now have OVMS back in stock.
For UK / European users: Zero Carbon World OVMS.
For all others: Fasttech OVMS.

I just posted a blog explaining how the OVMS Charge Time Predictor for the Roadster works.
OVMS and the Tesla Roadster Charge Time Predictor
OVMS and the Tesla Roadster Charge Time Predictor
A good day.
OVMS Android App v3.2.1 is now released to beta test. You can get it from testflightapp:
TestFlight Beta Testing On The Fly
We’re using TestFlightApp for both iOS and Android Apps, so it would be helpful if you could register there. If you do, you’ll get notified of new builds as and when they are released.
For those not already in testflightapp, the following URL should allow you to sign-up: TestFlight Open Vehicles Beta Invitation
As with the iOS App, we’ve had sponsorship and support from Zero Carbon World for this:
Charging station integration and information provided by Zero Carbon World (Open Charge Map - Zero Carbon World) and the Open Charge Map project (Open Charge Map - The global public registry of electric vehicle charging locations).
Let me have feedback / problems via testflightapp or the via the developers mailing list. It is a beta #1 build, but is functionally complete. The only known issue is a 20 second delay when a new car is setup (or the first time the app is run), for charge station data to be downloaded.

Great work and nice write up. Thanks Tom.
"Having a charge time predictor enables a whole new charging feature: the ability to set the end time for a charge."
This is a great feature. I hope Tesla adds this to the Model S, and that more third party enhancements like OVMS become available for the MS.

Just a short qualification: ACC is only available in the firmware for the V2 hardware (little black boxes). We couldn't get it to fit in the firmware for the original V1 hardware (bigger white boxes) as the cpu on that hardware has less flash memory.
