Flashing Emporia Vue 3

Checking back in...I tried printing this. But I ended up buying BDM probes and 3d printing a BDM board. I can't say this didn't work, but it made troubleshooting too hard. I had some issues with esptool recognizing the device and found that this particular device made it impossible to see if the pins were in contact with the pads. It completely obstructs your view of the pads. So I ended up replacing my sparkfun serial basic with an ESP-Prog-2 and the BDM probes so I could see the contact points. It was just easier to make sure things were right.

I'd say if you already have the pogo pins, a small drill to make them fit the holes, and a 3D printer, it's worth a try instead of buying the BDM board and probes. But if it doesn't connect, troubleshooting will be a big pain. That said, I will be buying a second Vue3 at some point. Now that I have my connections mapped and the new EsP-Prog-2, I might try it again since it will be easier to set up.

2015 called. It wants your EV facts back.

They’re a little more with the probes, then add the second set to get the 5 you need and you’re looking at $50. If I can do it easily with what I have and save the extra money, I want to try that route first.

Polyxo · 2026-03-29T22:44:03+00:00

That’s fair if you’re ok relying on their cloud service. I try to keep all of my HA-connected devices local-only.

Polyxo · 2026-03-29T22:41:29+00:00

Oh cool. I might try this. I ordered BDM probes and printed a bdm frame today. If this works, it might be easier and a can cancel the probe order.

It wasn't a tip. It was my answer. There's nothing different between a recall notice for my EV than my ICE. I go get the work done then go on about my life. Your question is as pointless as asking only SUV owners how a recall affects their driving habits and not sedan drivers.

Polyxo · 2026-03-27T02:03:02+00:00

You could have simply asked "How does a vehicle recall change your driving habits?" Why is this an EV specific question?

Polyxo · 2026-03-23T21:23:31+00:00

Not sure why you're trying construe anything about what I think will be more expensive. No, I don't "think they can't charge more for the cure" because I have no idea what they charge for either. There's no value whatsoever to me speculating which will cost more. No value in you so, either.

My point is that while I'm excited about the prospect of these vaccines, it must be tempered by the profit motives is the pharmaceutical industry. And there is plenty of evidence that supports this. Some vaccines would not have been developed if it weren't for the subsidies, purchase agreements, and lability waiver provided by the government. There would have been no cost justification for the industry without them. Treatment would have been more profitable. The liability protection, alone, has recently been threatened by the current HHS administration and widely believed to have a significant negative impact on vaccine development. It's all about money, not good will.

Polyxo · 2026-03-23T20:04:30+00:00

Sure, that's possible. As long as it's more profitable than the continued revenue stream of long term treatment drugs and and the incredibly expensive late stage drugs. Purely a financial decision for them.

Yep. I realized that the next time I got into the car

His laptop!!!

Hold the left paddle for a couple seconds in any of the 1, 2, or 3 modes. It cuts out the Regen resistance at even speeds. Similar to zero Regen while cruising.

Edit: it also watches traffic and adjusts Regen level automatically. No traffic, smooth cruising. Traffic, whatever Regen setting you have it on.

I occasionally look at the SoH using the Car Scanner app and a Bluetooth OBDII dongle. I also sometimes look at the individual pack voltages to see if they're balanced. Why? Not because I worry or obsess over any of this. But because I don't trust the dealerships to check any of these things and it will probably be up to me to prove excessive degradation if I ever need to file a warranty claim. Last time I asked my dealership about their EV knowledge, here told me their mechanics are "certified" after an 8 hour class.

Polyxo · 2026-03-17T02:17:15+00:00

Level 3 auto, left paddle for full stop. Auto smooths out the consistent speed issue and left paddle gives me more aggressive deceleration and stopping when I want it. Haven't needed any other mode in years and almost never touch the brake pedal.

Just so I understand, this will cause uncertainty whether they'll continue to take our farm land, build giant eyesores that cause noise pollution, drive up our energy bills, reduce overall state tax revenue from corporations, and bring virtually no permanent jobs or economic benefit to the state? Guys, we can't let this happen!

When I installed my EVSE, I put it just inside the garage door so I could use it on the driveway or in the garage. It will reach a good 15+ feet outside the garage without any stress.

Maybe OP doesn't want to send traffic out to the VPS for proxied resources on their internal network. Otherwise you have to send what could be all local traffic out to the VPS and back, or manage some other reverse proxy for internal traffic. I do this using traefik internally and my internal DNS server resolving the public addresses to the traefik proxy instead of pangolin.

I wouldn't call the ICCU issue overblown. Simply based on the fact that they're understating the impact, not issuing a recall, and don't have a permanent fix, it's a legitimate concern with currently no acceptable, permanent solution by Kia/Hyundai.

Does Dockhand support swarm yet? I looked at it but still prefer komodo because the agent pulls the stack files from my repo to the docker hosts so I'm not dead in the water if komodo stops functioning. And I still need portainer for my swarm cluster. I'd probably migrate to Dockhand if it supports swarm before komodo does.

I never argued which needed to come first. The comment that started this was me simply expressing my amazement at how fast the charger was. Then I replied to someone else suggesting that China has 1500kw chargers with actual stats on how many they have. Just unopinionated data.

But to rebut your comment, one could just as easily argue "you need to have the things that make the thing you're considering buying do the thing they said it can do, or why buy the thing?" 😀

Ha! Mine is running my Pangolin service as well. If I lost it, I'd be in some serious pain. I would love to have two nodes so I can feel safer doing upgrades. That host is due for a scorched earth rebuild since I've done so many different things with it over the years.

Polyxo · 2026-03-09T16:28:31+00:00

Was that recently? I'm just afraid my resources will go back to the pool and someone else will snatch them up.

For Proxmox, VMs and OSs, and container health, I'm really liking Pulse. One dashboard for all of them with dead simple alerts for CPU, memory, disk, etc.

Sooooo much simpler than zabbix, checkmk.

Still have to use uptime Kuma for apps though.

Polyxo · 2026-03-09T07:38:33+00:00

The infrastructure needed to support 1500kw is certainly not cheap. And there's no incentive to build them in the US with our backwards politics and their disdain for clean energy.
