I am posting a few screen shots of the latest development in my effort to get as much info from my car as possible.
The application runs on palm handheld, and you can see the status from the screenshots. I will publish more information shortly.
In the meantime I appreciate any questions or comments.
Use Norwegian if you like, I can read it.

This seems very good BauDemo, much better display than Paktrakr for example.

Rav4 has reverse engineered a display for Think cars with functions for initiating different types of overcharge. Several of us have ordered one already.

For driving I like to display ampere for economic driving and something to indicate when batteries are under minimum voltage. Paktrakr monitors all battery modules when fitted which is something that cannot be displayed on yours.
A readable display that can combine the information from the BMS and battery monitor system would be ideal.

Thanks Ken,
I haven't seen what Rav4 has done, only read about it in one of the threads. It seems very interesting.

I am attaching couple of more screenshots from todays drive. You can see how the background color for current, pack voltage and power, changes depending on the value. When the pack voltage goes under particular value the background color changes first to yellow and then to red.
Similar thing happens to most of the other relevant parameters. For example, when the car charges the batteries the current and power get a blue background.  See the screenshots.
There are 25 parameters for the BMS and 21 for the Charger that can be displayed and the display is customizable. It is up to the driver to decide what they want to see.

What I like is that all data is saved on a SD card, in a CSV format. I am attaching the CSV file from today, so you can play with it if you like.

I just put it in my computer and did a plot of the current and volt during todays drive - very educational.

The "special" button will contain the water refill functions.

Everything about my solution apart from the "special" button is ready.

I can sell this for 135EUR - the pack includes OBD interface cable, palm serial cable, palm car charger and software.  I currently have 7 ready for immediate delivery.
I also have couple of used palm units that I can send with the program installed on a first come - first serve bases for 20EUR extra.

I wrote another piece of software for the packtrakr, and will make that available next month.

Please consider me first come first serve regarding your system including palm unit.

I'll send shipments details on PM

Hei. Noen mulighet for at dette også blir tilgjengelig for PSA bilene?

[El rayo]

I've ordered one set. The palm units were all gone by now, but a few more will hopefully be available soon.

[Ken]

Now you have suddenly become very popular Bau Demo. Since i have ordered a unit from RAV4 , I will wait for the moment, but yours  does look rather tasty!
My PakTrakr display keeps freezing up and I am in dialogue with the manufacturer to find out why.

[BauDemo]

Thank you all for the interest!
Sorry Boogie - I do not own PSA car, I will see if I can do something about it. But don't hold your breath.
El rayo - I have found some more palm units, all this interest catch me a bit unprepared, but now hopefully there will be no shortage of devices for some time.
Ken - I will start a new thread about the packtrakr software, once I feel it is ready. Don't want to get your hopes too high.

Sharing a photo of the palm mounted using magnetic phone holder from clasohlson. The holder contained a metal plate that needs to stick to the palm.

It turned out that the magnetic holder was a bad quality, but the mounting possition was ok. So I am still looking for mounting ideas.

I've ordered one set.

It arrived in my mail box just now. Mmmm, new toys! Hope I don't get accused of cheating in the minirally with this device.

[BauDemo]

today I drove 30km for 27%SOC - a personal record, kept very close eye on the current indicator and never went to red, felt like I was driving miss dasy.

on a side note - the program is now available in Norwegian.
as usual some screenshots.

[Ken]

It``s a good feeling when the weather gets warmer and the Thinks seems to go on forever.

I think that you are spoiling our Norwegian friends with your latest version.

I am waiting for my RAV4 special but I``m beginning to wish that I had waited for one of yours.

The PakTrakr features will be very nice but seeing that I``m having loads of problems with my PakTrakrs I will have to resolve these first. I am corresponding with Ken Hall frequently to try to resolve these. My displays are unstable and a remote is dodgy.

I know I'll get 1 km per % as soon as I switch to summer tires.

Just a note on the parameters: you can choose which ones to display, it's very user friendly. And there are 4 layers (B1 - B4), so you have access to 28 parameters just by tapping on the screen.

The palm unit is quite heavy, 155 g, compared to a mobile phone so I can see that a phone magnet is too weak.

Personally, I would prefer to install the monitor higher up. Maybe make a bracket that is pressed in between the top of the dash and the instrument cover. I don't like to make holes in the original dash.

Jeg fikk min i dag
Vurderer å feste den med dobbeltsidig tape til høyre for midtfeltet.
Jeg har ikke prøvd den i dagslys enda, er spent på hvordan det ser ut i sollys.
