Another update after a while...

I don't really hear the screen whine at this point. I don't know if I've already gotten used to it, or it's dropped in volume, or it's because it's unusual for me not to be running some entertainment in the car - radio or BT or whatever - but I'm not worried about it, either.

I figured something out about PaaK and in general Bluetooth with my phone over the past week... and it actually makes sense with what I see in the Fusion Energi as well, so it's not the car side software (I'd be genuinely amazed if much code for the Bluetooth stack was shared between Windows Embedded [MFT] and QNX [Sync 4]) although if the APIMs have similar Bluetooth radio hardware, it could be that...

it seems my Galaxy S20 5G gets confused between talking to my Galaxy Watch and the car at the same time. This weekend and yesterday, I had trips where I had my girlfriend with me, so I left the car running full with the AC going, etc. I always left the phone in the car so I didn't have to worry about the timeout, etc. (the timeout is one of the settings that doesn't seem to always save). I noticed when I got back in the car, though, the Bluetooth streaming had always, 100% reliably, stopped... so on a random hunch, on one of the trips, I took my watch off, and left it in the car (the charging pad, the dash, whatever)... the streaming never dropped.

Often but not always the phone connection will drop when I get out of WiFi range of the house, as well.

I think there's just something weird about how the Qualcomm wireless radio deals with having multiple devices connected and the connection state of one of them changing.

I don't have the PaaK SSM yet so I don't know if that would fix this but since I think it's the phone side, I have low expectations. We'll see when my Astro Slide 5G Transformer shows up, if that works differently...

Name aside... I want a keyboard. I still miss my Dell Venue Pro for many reasons.

Up until last week, I hadn’t seen another MME in the wild. But then I saw 2 in one day. Haven’t seen another one since.
My wife has seen the other infinite blue on the island, so I’ve decided I’m the only one. ;)

One thing I just learned by playing - if you tap the seek bar, it will move to that point.

I know almost nobody on here has an OpenEVSE like I do, but I just went through a firmware update on mine and thought I'd share in case anyone does a search. I followed How to Load OpenEVSE Firmware (WinAVR) - OpenEVSE (dozuki.com) using AmazonSmile: ANMBEST USBASP USBISP 51 AVR ATMEGA128 STK500 Programmer 10PIN to 6PIN Adapter Board Compatible with Win7 8 XP 32/64: Industrial & Scientific as my connector and it worked very well. You have to know the pinout on the 6 pin - number 1 (labelled on the OpenEVSE board) is VCC (labelled on the adapter board). You don't have the OpenEVSE plugged in when you do this - the power comes from the USB connection to the board.

easy peasy and then used the web interface to update the web side to the current release of the web software afterwards. (the current web software has a dependency on newer device software than I had installed, so it was finally time to update it)

a lot nicer LCD setup now - it does a rotating display of time/date, current charge rate, lifetime total use, etc. where before it just did energy totals and charge rate on a single layout.
