Soul Spy?

[Oinq]

That worked with me.

 

[langemand]

I have fixed the "jump to top of page", which occurred every time data values were read from the car. Other small improvements included too, nothing major.
The new build is available here: https://github.com/langemand/SoulEVSpy/blob/master/README.md

 

[Oinq]

Thank you, Ill test it today

[EDIT] It seems to be fixed

Is this a good place to ask a feature?
It would be great if we could export all the the data the app sees, at once to the email, in a format google sheets could import, so we could easily plot a graph from the features we want.
Unfortunately, I can't program, but I will donate for this feature. :mrgreen:

Is this a good place to ask a feature?

Fine with me, there is no forum specifically for the SoulEvSpy App. The only other place of I can think of, is to open an issue on the github repo: https://github.com/langemand/SoulEVSpy/issues

It would be great if we could export all the the data the app sees, at once to the email, in a format google sheets could import, so we could easily plot a graph from the features we want.

I guess this is impossible to know looking at the app UI: The app stores ALL data it reads, including data that isn't visible anywhere in the app, in a csv-file in your Download directory, e.g. SoulData.yyyymmdd_hhmm.csv
It also stores the communication with the bluetooth dongle in a .txt-file, for debugging purposes.

I will consider adding a feature to email the files to an email-address of your choice.

No need for a donation. In my day job I am a professional software developer; this project is for fun
Instead, perhaps I can ask if you will consider writing a simple "how to get started with SoulEvSpy", describing also the hidden features...?

Feel free to contact me by email: [email protected] with any questions.

 

[Oinq]

I will start writing something that can be used has an help file for the app, with a small description of each field. Them we discuss further improvements on this :mrgreen:
Did I read hidden features? Something I haven't found yet?

I had a look on the file I have from yesterday "SoulData.20190225_2101.csv" and indeed it has a lot of info however I can't find 2 very interesting values that we have on the screen "battery", minimum degradation and maximum degradation. Can this be because I have zero on this fields? It would also be interesting to have a timestamp in this file.

Good to hear, looking forward to reading it

Did I read hidden features? Something I haven't found yet?

It seemed like you hadn't found the "hidden" .csv and .txt files, that was what I meant. The latest APK release has new features at the bottom of the drawer: "Replay recorded data" and "Play demo data", which will "play back" a previously recorded csv file. The demo is a file recorded by my car.

I had a look on the file I have from yesterday "SoulData.20190225_2101.csv" and indeed it has a lot of info however I can't find 2 very interesting values that we have on the screen "battery", minimum degradation and maximum degradation. Can this be because I have zero on this fields?

Look for battery.min_cell_detoriation_pct and battery.max_cell_detoriation_pct, they are there for my car (model year 2015). Which model year is your car, and what battery capacity does it have?
If they are zero, they may not have been calculated since the BMS firmware was updated. They are calculated by the BMS when battery goes from fully charged to nearly empty, I believe. I am not sure of the precise circumstances.
If you don't have the fields in your .csv files, email me a soulspy*.txt file, and I will check what is going on.

It would also be interesting to have a timestamp in this file.

The file name has the start time, and in the file you will find system.scan_start_time_ms, system.scan_end_time_ms and route.time_s, which are all in milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 (known as "unix timestamp" or "epoch", see e.g. https://www.epochconverter.com/ - remove the last 3 digits, to convert milliseconds to seconds, before pasting into the web-page).

 

[langemand]

The latest version of the SoulEVSpy no longer crashes when tested by Google Firebase Robo Test (without bluetooth), so stability is now better than ever.

It is now possible to "Demo" the app without a car and OBD-II dongle:
I have added new features at the bottom of the drawer: "Replay recorded data" and "Play demo data". Both will "play back" a previously recorded csv file. The demo is a file recorded by my car, the replay allow you to select a file recorded by the app.

The demo is supposed to show you what you will experience if you connect it to an OBD-II-dongle in your car.

I have a 2016 model and my values are zero, I never took the car below 20% since I bought it a month ago. It arrived in this state, I believe because some update before the dealer sold it to me. I have some screenshots from when I went to view the car the first time and there were values there. More on that when if decide to force the battery calibration or need to take it below 20%.

The file name has the start time, and in the file you will find system.scan_start_time_ms, system.scan_end_time_ms and route.time_s, which are all in milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 (known as "unix timestamp" or "epoch", see e.g. https://www.epochconverter.com/ - remove the last 3 digits, to convert milliseconds to seconds, before pasting into the web-page).

Ahh thank you for this clarification, we can use this values has X ax on the graph then.

Just installed the newest version, I'm not able to install without first uninstall the other.
Demo works nicely

I just installed the latest version. The demo worked well. Is that your car? Same age and same km driven as my car.

SoulEVSpy also works well on the Hyundai BlueOn EV.
The codes for the BMS and LDC are pretty much the same. ( BlueOn EV. has 88 cells same as the Ray EV)
The code for the odometer also worked, but ambient temperature did not.

Yes, I captured it in my car, last summer, 4 people + luggage, on vacation in France.

SoulEVSpy also works well on the Hyundai BlueOn EV.

Thanks for the feedback
I didn't know there was a Hyundai EV before the Ionic. I guess they only released it in South Korea, like the Kia Ray EV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_BlueOn

You have previously mentioned that all the Hyundai/Kia EVs are very similar, technically. I guess I should make the addresses and other model-specific values depend on the car VIN ID or a user selectable setting; and see if I can make the SoulEVSpy app work with Ionic EV, Kona EV, e-Niro and the e-Soul.

 

[bougiebastien]

First of all thanks for developing this App!
I finally connected my car to the app and got all values except the SOH. It read unknown deterioration... Is it perhaps because the value is above 100% or is it because it's a 2019 ?
Cheers !

LP

 

[langemand]

The max deterioration and min deterioration values are not available from model year 2018 onwards, so the SOH calculation in the app is disabled for those.

If you email me one of the soulspy.log.2019xxxxxxxx.txt files from the Downloads dir, I will see if the actual SOH value is returned (indicated in an earlier post), and attempt to fix the app accordingly.

Email the file to [email protected].

 

[bgarr33434]

Is there a link to a post that explains how to read the output? My main interest is how close I am to the magic 70% so I can get a new battery.

Here are my numbers at 100% charged
battery.SOC_precise_pt 63.082
battery.SOC_pct 95
battery.SOC_display_pct
battery.available_charge_power_kW 69.69
battery.available_disharge_power_kW 90
battery.max_cell_detoriation_pct 36
battery.min_cell_detoriation_pct 22.1

 

[Oinq]

In the sub menu "car information" you have the "battery SOH %. This is your value.

Force a calibration before you read this for bigger precision.
To force a calibration you drive until you are below 20% SOC and then you fully charge it.

Then you can read the value.


Best regards
Nuno

 

[bgarr33434]

Thanks...I get below 20% every day. My car info screen looks nothing like that. I'm using V 0.1.0(1668), Is there a newer build?

 

[langemand]

Yes, the latest build is version 0.1.3-2871, and you can find the APK link for download here: https://github.com/langemand/SoulEVSpy/blob/master/README.md

This version fix a number of crash issues, most related to switching between replay and bluetooth data.

The feature I would most like to see in SoulEVSpy is a Voltage Heatmap.
I notice you have added an issue for something like this. :-
Github - Feature: Page displaying bar chart for battery cell voltages as fast as possible #4

Here is a voltage heatmap as displayed by CanZE.
CanZE is open source. The code for this is here Heatmap Source



If I could save a logfile of a journey and then replay it later, it would be great. To speed up the replay and make it into an animated gif or video would be amazing.

I am currently working on how to display these voltages using the Torque data I have collected and imported afterwards into Excel.
My Hyundai BlueON has a single defective cell.
When driving 87 of the cells show similar voltages, but cell 61 is much lower than the rest.
When charging 87 of the cells show similar voltages, but cell 61 is much higher than the rest.

 

[bgarr33434]

got it working. SOH is 82%. but at 100% charged it says chg-exact-pct is 64.

The CanZE team accepted my request to copy the sourcecode for the map you mention, and I have adapted the code for the SoulEVSpy:

A download link to the new version is available here: https://github.com/langemand/SoulEVSpy/blob/master/README.md

If I could save a logfile of a journey and then replay it later, it would be great.

All data are being saved to a SoulSpy.201903XX.csv file. If you click "Replay recorded data" you can navigate to the Download catalogue on the SD-card, find the file you want to open, and it will be replayed (at normal speed).

To speed up the replay and make it into an animated gif or video would be amazing.

I have added two issues for this.

I downloaded the latest apk, but it crashed when I tried to look at the heatmap.
Tested on both a 2015 Soul EV and a 2011 Hyundai BlueOn. Same crash on both.
It looks great in demo mode.
