I'm sorry if I hijacked KiwiME's Torque Pro thread into hopeless oblivion; folks should still talk about that! Since what I've been goofing with isn't TP proper, I'll split off a different thread. Since I avoid "app stores" in general, I only have Torque Lite so far, that I sideloaded off some APK repository. I also have the app that "came with" my OBDlink dongle, which has turned out to be more useful. I'm trying very hard to get the obdlink.com/scantool.net/obdsoftware.net people to release their apps as straight .apk downloads from one of their websites. They're being incredibly balky about it, basically discriminating against those of us who prefer not to supplicate to various dark overlords. That aside, I can use the obdlink app to set up custom PIDs after all. [Torque Lite has a config menu to create custom PIDs and it even saves them in .torque/torqueFreeDialLayout.dat ... but apparently never sends them!] By swiping a few useful bits out of JejuSoul's .CSV files, I can look at a few key things as shown in the pic here. Battery current and voltage are pretty key, and the 12V aux voltage is worth watching as detailed in the 12V thread. What also seems like a good immediate indicator of pack health is the two figures for min and max cell voltage as reported by the BMS. These seem to have a granularity of 0.02 volts, which makes sense as the PID math is to divide the byte by 50. The screenshot is during charging, so 7.4 kW going in and cell voltages s-l-o-w-l-y creeping up. I happened to catch min/max in a short time when they weren't the same. The gauge between them is for "cellblock 13", just chosen semi-arbitrarily. I put the amp limits at +/- 120 for this, because it's a very rare day I come anywhere near that when driving. The car's limits are over 400... OBDLink saves configurations in .ZIP files full of XML blobs, so I figure a bulk PID load could be done with a script to read some .csv and squirt out XML in the right formats. Matching PIDs and displays is a little weird, but could probably be sleazed. As I noted in the Torque thread, I wish there was a simple compact "bargraph" type display so all cells might fit on one screen, but if min/max is enough to raise an eyebrow at a weak cell, I could live with that. _H*
