MCP2515 OBD II multiple PID - arduino

I am using a raspberry Pi and arduino CAN schield which is using a MCP2515 and SPI to request a single OBD II PID.
I am able to request and receive a single PID from my OBD emulator (Freematics). I know that is possible to request multiple PIDs (up to 6 PIDs) in a single query.
Whenever I use other kind of messages, I receive only the first request. Can anybody maybe help?
Here is the message for single PID which is working (C++):
msg.id = 0x7DF; //ID_QUERY
msg.header.rtr = 0;
msg.header.length = 0x08;
msg.data[0] = 0x02;
msg.data[1] = 0x01;
msg.data[2] = PID; //Whatever PID I want!
Message for multiple request that is not working:
msg.id = 0x7DF; //ID_QUERY
msg.header.rtr = 0;
msg.header.length = 0x08;
msg.data[0] = 0x07; //! Also it is not working with 0x08
msg.data[1] = 0x01;
msg.data[2] = PID0;
msg.data[3] = PID1;
msg.data[4] = PID2;
msg.data[5] = PID3;
msg.data[6] = PID4;
msg.data[7] = PID5;

Our Freematics OBD II emulator does not support sending multiple responses. One of our test vehicles, a 2010 Toyota corolla does. In our experience it is best to send a test command at startup to see if the device we're communicating with supports multiple responses or not. For our application we send the command 00 twice,
010000
If the response its greater than 25 characters, we know the device supports multiple commands as it responded to both 00 commands. If the response is less than 25 characters, we know the device responded to just the first 00 command and consequently only supports one command at a time. checking how many responses were received could be done multiple ways, but length has worked well for us so far.
Based on your use case, it may be enough to only send single commands. But if you really need the increased speed of multiple commands, add a check at start up to see if the device responds to multiple commands and then construct your messages based on the results. Dont forget to end your messages with the expected number of response lines to further increase speed. See the attached taken from: http://elmelectronics.com/DSheets/ELM327DS.pdf

Sending canbus messages through mcp2515 is a litle bit tricky.
First of all Freematics OBD Emulator support no multiple PID requests. Secondly, the multiple PID request should be sent with ISO 15765 format. when you send a multiple request, he ECU would response only with one "First Frame" message and will wait for the "Flow Control" message from the sender. After receiving the flow control, ECU will continue to sending the responses based on your flow control setting.

Sim800L lag/delay before incoming calls are visible to arduino

I use SIM800L GSM module to detect incoming calls and generally it works fine. The only problem is that sometimes it takes up to 8 RINGS before the GSM module tells arduino that someone is calling (before RING appears on the serial connection). It looks like a GSM Network congestion but I do not have such issues with normal calls (I mean calls between people). It happens to often - so it cannot be network/Provider overload. Does anybody else had such a problem?
ISP/Provider: Plus GSM in Poland
I don't put any code, because the problem is in different layer I think
sorry that I didn't answer earlier. I've tested it and it turned out that in bare minimum code it worked OK! I mean, I can see 'RING' on the serial monitor immediately after dialing the number. So it's not a hardware issue!
//bare minimum code:
void loop() {
if(serialSIM800.available()){
Serial.write(serialSIM800.read());
}
if(Serial.available()){
serialSIM800.write(Serial.read());
}
}
In my real code I need to compare calling number with the trusted list. To do that I saved all trusted numbers in the contact list on the sim card (with the common prefix name 'mytrusted'). So, in the main loop there's if statement:
while(mySerial.available()){
incomingByte = mySerial.read();
inputString += incomingByte;
}
if (inputString.indexOf("mytrusted") > 0){
isTrusted = 1;
Serial.println("A TRUSTED NUMBER IS CALLING");
}
After adding this "if condition" Arduino sometimes recognize trusted number after 1'st call, and sometimes after 4'th or 5'th. I'm not suspecting the if statement itself , but the preceding while loop, where incoming bytes are combined into one string.
Any ideas, what can be improved in this simply code?
It seems, I found workaround for my problem. I just send a simple 'AT' command every 20 seconds to SIM800L (it replies with 'OK' ). I use timer to count this 20 seconds interval (instead of simply delay function)
TimerObject *timer2 = new TimerObject(20000); //AT command interval
....
timer2->setOnTimer(&SendATCMD);
....
void SendATCMD () {
mySerial.println("AT");
timer2->Stop();
timer2->Start();
}
With this simple modification Arduino always sees incoming call immediately (after 1 ring)

Count unread SMS using AT command

How to count unread SMS or revived SMS using AT command?
void UnreadMEssage() {
fonaSS.println("AT+CMGF=0");
delay(1000);
fonaSS.println("AT+CMGL=\"REC UNREAD\",1");
}
Using this code, I can show the all received text messages, but I want to count the unread SMS.
Answering in reference to this blog :
There is no direct command to count the number of unread messages . We can use AT+CMGL command in a modified way to count unread messages .
Use the command AT+CPMS? to find out how many messages are stored in your SIM in total.
Use AT+GMGL=<stat> for each status other than 0 "REC UNREAD" and count the number of messages for each of these.
Add each of these counts together and subtract that from the total memory used as reported by +CPMS and you've got the number of unread messages.
P.B : If you don't mind "reading" the messages just do the +CMGL for status 0 "REC UNREAD" and count, i.e those messages will be marked as read.
The AT command +CPMS (Preferred Message Storage) is used to figure out,
Select the message storage area that will be used when sending, receiving, reading, writing or deleting SMS messages.
Find the number of messages that are currently stored in the message storage area.
Find the maximum number of messages that can be stored in the message storage area.
try AT+CPMS? to list the available spaces. and issue a command like this,
AT+CPMS="SM","SM","SM"
the response should show used space,available space repeatedly like this,
+CPMS: "SM",19,20,"SM",19,20,"SM",19,20
here is SM signifies SIM card space and a list of available options is below. A typical response shows,
+CPMS: used1,max1,used2,max2,used3,max3
Based on the count, read each response using AT+CMGR=x (x is the index of the message) and parse the response for "REC UNREAD" and subtract to get read messages.
PS:
here, SM is storage area in SIM card. others are,
SM. msg storage area on the SIM card.
ME. msg storage area on the GSM/GPRS modem or device. A larger storage
space than SIM card(SM).
MT. all msg storage areas associated with the your modem or device.
BM. broadcast message storage area.
(In some devices, ME & MT -> Flash message storage.)
SR. It refers to the status report message storage area. It is used to
store status reports.
TA. Terminal Adaptor msg storage area.

BlueNRG Bluetooth: how to receive data via chateractic

Currently I implement code bluetooth low engine (BLE) for STM32L476 + X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1 base on example "sensor demo".
In "Sensor Demo" example, it only code to send data to smart phone. And don't have receive data.
I think can use function below to read data:
tBleStatus aci_gatt_read_charac_val(uint16_t conn_handle, uint16_t attr_handle)
And can read data from HCI_Event_CB(hciReadPacket->dataBuff);
However I don't know how to get parameter "uint16_t attr_handle" for function
tBleStatus aci_gatt_read_charac_val(uint16_t conn_handle, uint16_t attr_handle)
Could you explain for me about this problem?
That would be the value of the handle for this connection.
When IDB04A1 successfully connects to the smart phone, it shall send a HCI_LE_META_EVENT with information for this connection. Connection_Handle can be found in the event, to be specific, a 16-byte value:
(offset 6 | offset 5)

How can I call an "AT command" in Codesys for a GSM modem? Not standard send_sms, etc

I have a GSM modem and a PLC. The PLC sees a modem (I use a *.lib and functional block "openPort"), but I don't understand how send an "AT command" to the modem, for example, "ate0".
First, to increase your understanding of AT commands in general, read the V.250 specification. That will go a long way in making you an AT command expert.
Then for the actual implementation, I do not know Codesys, so the following is pseudo code of the structure you should have for handling AT commands:
the_modem = openPort();
...
// Start sending ATE0
writePort(the_modem, "ATE0\r");
do {
line = readLinePort(the_modem);
} while (! is_final_result_code(line))
// Sending of ATE0 command finished (successfully or not)
...
closePort(the_modem);
Whatever you do, never, never use delay, sleep or similar as a substitute for waiting for the final result code. You can look at the code for atinout for an example for the is_final_result_code function (you can also compare to isFinalResponseError and isFinalResponseSuccess in ST-Ericsson's U300 RIL, although note that CONNECT is not a final result code. It is an intermediate result code, so the name isFinalResponseSuccess is not 100% correct).

OpenBSD serial I/O: -lpthead makes read() block forever, even with termios VTIME set?

I have an FTDI USB serial device which I use via the termios serial API. I set up the port so that it will time-out on read() calls in half a second (by using the VTIME parameter), and this works on Linux as well as on FreeBSD. On OpenBSD 5.1, however, the read() call simply blocks forever when no data is available (see below.) I would expect read() to return 0 after 500ms.
Can anyone think of a reason that the termios API would behave differently under OpenBSD, at least with respect to the timeout feature?
EDIT: The no-timeout problem is caused by linking against pthread. Regardless of whether I'm actually using any pthreads, mutexes, etc., simply linking against that library causes read() to block forever instead of timing out based on the VTIME setting. Again, this problem only manifests on OpenBSD -- Linux and FreeBSD work as expected.
if ((sd = open(devPath, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY)) >= 0)
{
struct termios newtio;
char input;
memset(&newtio, 0, sizeof(newtio));
// set options, including non-canonical mode
newtio.c_cflag = (CREAD | CS8 | CLOCAL);
newtio.c_lflag = 0;
// when waiting for responses, wait until we haven't received
// any characters for 0.5 seconds before timing out
newtio.c_cc[VTIME] = 5;
newtio.c_cc[VMIN] = 0;
// set the input and output baud rates to 7812
cfsetispeed(&newtio, 7812);
cfsetospeed(&newtio, 7812);
if ((tcflush(sd, TCIFLUSH) == 0) &&
(tcsetattr(sd, TCSANOW, &newtio) == 0))
{
read(sd, &input, 1); // even though VTIME is set on the device,
// this read() will block forever when no
// character is available in the Rx buffer
}
}
from the termios manpage:
Another dependency is whether the O_NONBLOCK flag is set by open() or
fcntl(). If the O_NONBLOCK flag is clear, then the read request is
blocked until data is available or a signal has been received. If the
O_NONBLOCK flag is set, then the read request is completed, without
blocking, in one of three ways:
1. If there is enough data available to satisfy the entire
request, and the read completes successfully the number of
bytes read is returned.
2. If there is not enough data available to satisfy the entire
request, and the read completes successfully, having read as
much data as possible, the number of bytes read is returned.
3. If there is no data available, the read returns -1, with errno
set to EAGAIN.
can you check if this is the case?
cheers.
Edit: OP traced back the problem to a linking with pthreads that caused the read function to block. By upgrading to OpenBSD >5.2 this issue was resolved by the change to the new rthreads implementation as the default threading library on openbsd. more info on guenther# EuroBSD2012 slides
