What to get?

Can anyone help me, what bits do I need to purchase from:

https://shop.openenergymonitor.com/ovms/

In order to start exploring my Peugeot e-208 ?

 

I want to see if I can detect signal indicators, lights on / off, reverse, hazard indicators.

 

Thank you,

From the OVMS point of view,

From the OVMS point of view, just a base wifi module. You can get modem + gps antenna + gsm antenna if you think useful in the future, but not necessary for initial investigation.

You will also need a vehicle specific cable, but that will depend on the vehicle CAN bus arrangement. Based on this post:

https://www.openvehicles.com/node/2505

pin 1 + 12v after power
pin 3 can high Peugeot
pin 4 body ground
pin 5 electro ground
pin 6 can high standard
pîn 8 can low Peugeot
pin 14 can low standard
pin 16 + 12v OBD

Although I haven't confirmed it myself, that seems to match one of Peugot's standard pinouts (https://pinoutguide.com/CarElectronics/peugeot_obd_ii_diag_pinout.shtml), and suggests you need pins 3+8 for Peugot CAN, and 6+14 for standard CAN. None of the standard OVMS cables have that arrangement. Probably the simplest is to get a standard OVMS cable (OB-L, or OB-R) cut it in two and re-arrange the wires in the centre yourself. Alternatively, get an OBDII pigtail and solder up the DB9 end yourself.

Happy hunting.

Regards, Mark.

Yes, the base OVMS (and firmware) includes tools to connect to up to 3 can buses, log traffic, inject traffic, and do reverse engineering.

Hi,

Hi,

Would you be willing to share any discoveries you make?

I really hope someone is able to add the e208 to the compatible cars on the GitHub. 

The Car Scanner-app is compatible with the e208. Maybe someone with more experience is able to also implement it for OVMS.
