Hello Leaf community,
I've been writing an Android/iOS app that borrows interface elements from other Hybrid/EV cars to display data from a Bluetooth ELM327 OBDII device for the past month or so. It's really shaping up well, but before it's ready for the Google Play store, I have a lot of work ahead of me. I don't think I'll be able to perfect the ELM237 interaction without some insight and feedback, so without further ado, I present to you, Happy Leaf 0.2!
Happy Leaf is now on Google Play
If you would like to try the app out, please sign up for the beta. (iOS Testflight will be emailed after your Beta application)
(Updated images 05/01/17)
- [NEW] Battery Health notification
When the battery SOH changes a notification is triggered that displays the previous SOH, current SOH and odometer at the time of the SOH change.
- [NEW] BLE support for iOS
All BLE devices will show in "Nearby Devices"
Only tested on one model of BLE, please let me know if you can't connect. Please send OBD model.
- [NEW] Flow Manager
Dynamic message requests, based on priority. (non linear request order)
Higher priority messages will be requested more frequently than lower priority messages. Will eventually dramatically increase performance.
May be slower on some commands for now, more optimization will be required over time and future updates to fine tune the flow.
Connection/verification messages now through Flow Manager, increased reliability when trying to reconnect.
- [NEW] Wifi on/off (Android)
New in settings -> Connection -> Allow Wifi. Happy Leaf won't re-enable Wifi if this is disabled.
- [NEW] Distance / Temp unit override
New in settings, should convert units based on preference. Will still auto detect units and adjust accordingly.
Tested converting my U.S. LEAF to Km / C, seemed to work.
- Better, more efficient logging (should be no more memory leaks from logs)
- Fixed issue where newest data would be deleted, now correctly purges oldest data from memory. No longer time based, strictly based on 2,000 history limit.
- [NEW] Multi Language support
- [NEW] Two new notifications
Alert for rapid increase of battery temperature.
Alert for high battery output (>70kWh)
- [NEW] Setting for disabling OS notifications (on be default)
- [NEW] Offline mode
Use app without connecting to ODB device. Requires past history, so Bluetooth OBD still required for functionality. After initial connection, pressing the icon at bottom right of Welcome screen will transition to Home screen, even without Bluetooth enabled. (History still deletes after 24 hours)
- [NEW] Settings icon on Welcome screen.
- Adjusted font sizes on blue title/footer bars.
- Moved charging animation "cable" to right side of diagram, now charging voltage doesn't overlap with dropdown icon.
- Recalculated GID readings over 255. Currently untested, but may resolve GID issues where SOC > 80% but kWh remaining would be near zero (calculated from GIDs)
- [NEW] Save logs / history to sdcard or internal storage.
Disabled by default as this affects performance. Can be enabled from settings page.
Saves to /sdcard/Happy_Leaf/BETA/[date]-history.json and [date_time]-ODB-log.txt
These files will help me troubleshoot issues better
- [NEW] Notifications
New icon by settings, will have green badge showing unread notifications
Should send local notifications to device
Will only send the same notification after 30 minutes.
Currently has notifications for the following:
Low / High Tire pressures
Low / High Battery Temperature (-5c / 46c)
Low 12v Battery voltage
Low SOC (under 20%)
Low Hx (under 50%)
- Can now disable extra data (scrolling down), this should improve performance. (In settings)
- Updated colors, red on SOC meter not as bright, background color closer to white in light mode.
- Enlarged Motor watts / Climate usage charts. Shrunk SOC meter slightly.
- Fixed Tire layout to match reality.
- Cars using Km when manufacture set Miles should now see closer odometer reading
- Ability to delete history data, Settings -> Data
- Various checks to incoming OBD data to ensure consistency.
- Outside temp adjusted to documented spec, still doesn't match Leaf's display, but this could be due to a different thermometer being read. Found other codes that represent outside temp, but currently not implemented.
- [New] Dark Mode
Manually set theme via new menu button at top left of screen. (this override will persist until app is relaunched)
Automatic dark mode via Ambient light sensor on Android device
Settings for toggling light sensor, and sensor sensitivity.
Setting for Dark Mode following headlights on/off
- Better responsiveness
Most font now scales based on percentage of screen. Should look much better on any screen size, any orientation.
Fixed scaling causing app to be able to scroll sideways on smaller devices
Graph data points now average based on screen size. Smaller screens will be more readable when large amounts of data logged.
- Graph Visuals Updated
Data points are smaller now and don't have white border, much easier to read
Graph now displays kWh on left side, much easier to read
Slightly smaller legend
- If codes are failing to read, small circle at top right now turns orange. (green when retrying codes)
- Attempting to address issue where dash set units differ from manufacture units. If your odometer reading is off by ~60%, but displays the correct unit label.
Changed the default graph color
Added m/kw, watts/m and remaining KW%m/kw (ETA miles to absolute zero, based on trip m/kw)
Added total miles driven while app logging, and total miles today calculation.
(0.1.1 below)
(Car off while charging, hence why GIDs/Kw remaining are blank)
I started writing this app midway through 2016. I chose the app framework (HTML/Angular/Phonegap/Cordova), but then came to a loss at what to send to the OBD connection to get real responses (anything but OK). Last month I came across a breakthrough in teaching myself the ELM327 + bluetooth spec, and began seeing data. This forum played a key role in forming my understanding and getting results, thank you everybody who made this possible. I'm using the spreadsheet here for CARCan/EVCan codes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... UFm0P7ouwg
Thank you TickTock, Turbo(s), Gary and others for gathering and sharing this knowledge.
In my daily life, I depend on the OBDII connection to track watts used, M/kw per trip, and occasionally diagnostic. I had so many ideas, and wanted to visualize the data deeper than currently available apps. After this breakthrough, the app started taking shape, and works better than I dreamed.
Happy Leaf's primary goal is to be a pretty interface for data, not a diagnostic tool. I created a Leaf diagram using SVG that holds tire data, SOC data, energy movement, climate usage, motor output, and headlight status. This is the meat of the app, it easily visualizes what is going on with the vehicle.
The interface runs extremely well on the two Android devices I have available to me. A $50 Kindle Fire 7" (Android 5.1.1), and a 2012 Motorola Photon Q (Android 6.0.1). Both are rooted and have custom roms, so your results may vary. I highly recommend a tablet for this interface, phones just don't have the real-estate and I haven't spent a lot of time optimizing (though the css wouldn't take long).
Charging Animation
Regen Animation
Motor/Climate Usage Animation
Scroll down and see all data in real time
Scroll farther, press the play button, and watch the logs
The app is clearly far from finished, but it's getting so close that I'm not sure how much farther I can take it alone. There's still many bugs, missing features, and currently slow query times.
If you are interested in testing this app, fill out the form here. There's still much testing/tuning to be done so it's results may vary.
If you would like to contribute to development, see the source code here
Happy Leaf'ing!

Home > Fitness & Health > Health Library > Sports-Related Dehydration
Most people lose as much as 1 qt (1 L) to 2 qt (2 L) of fluid during 1 hour of exercise. When you are not drinking enough fluids, your muscles get tired quickly, and you may have leg cramps while walking or running.
If you are an athlete, you can lose as much as 3 qt (3 L) of fluid an hour during an intense workout. Fluid loss in endurance activities such as distance running, cycling, strenuous hiking, or cross-country skiing can be severe. These types of activities can quickly lead to heat exhaustion.
In endurance athletes, dehydration can cause symptoms, called post-extreme endurance syndrome (PEES). Symptoms of PEES include decreased body temperature, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, muscle cramps, and an inability to drink fluids.
Distance runners and other endurance athletes are not the only ones to have problems with dehydration. Football, basketball, and hockey players all may lose large amounts of fluid during a game. High school and college wrestlers often decrease their fluid intake and promote excessive sweating before a match in order to "make weight."
To protect yourself from dehydration:
It is important to protect yourself from dehydration in extremely hot or dry weather and at high elevations. Exercise early in the day or later in the evening when it is cooler.

TORONTO - For the second straight tournament John Isner didn't get to play on centre court. And for the second straight tournament he bowed out in his first match.
Isner, the 10th seed at the Rogers Cup, lost to Croatian Ivan Dodig, 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-3 on the grandstand court Monday night at Rexall Centre. The match was originally scheduled for the afternoon in the stadium, but a lengthy rain delay wreaked havoc on the day's schedule.
"Obviously it was not easy," said Dodig, who was playing his first singles match in 10 weeks because of a broken rib. "It was long day for us, and of course changing the court it's also a little bit like making you to think about it."
Isner, who was not made available to speak to reporters, lost his opening match at last week's Citi Open to Steve Johnson and told reporters in Washington that he didn't think he "deserved" to play on a secondary court. Storms in the Toronto area caused play to be delayed two hours, and Isner and Dodig didn't get the centre-court spotlight.
That went to 13th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who beat fellow Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin 7-6(3), 6-1. The nightcap on centre court featured Canadian wild card Peter Polansky beating 2013 Wimbledon semifinalist Jerzy Janowicz 7-6(5), 6-4.
Polansky, who grew up in nearby Thornhill, Ont., last won a match in Toronto in 2010 when he upset Austria's Jurgen Melzer. He said this felt like a bit of deja vu — notably because this was by the same score — but this time the 26-year-old had to bounce back from a challenge on what he thought was match point.
"There was a little bit of nerves trying to pull through and hold for the match," Polansky said. "When he hit that forehand wide, I was pretty excited."
Polansky will face second-seeded Roger Federer in the second round Tuesday night. He said facing the 17-time Grand Slam champion will probably be one of the highlights of his career.
Monday night represented another low light for Isner, who dominated with his big serve but couldn't handle Dodig's throughout the night. Dodig broke the six-foot-ten American in the third set and was able to finish things off from there.
"He's the guy who can beat everybody, and as well a great player for many years," Dodig said of Isner. "You could see that there was not so many breaks. It's tough for both of us, for me to return to him and for him as well. He's going aggressive and he wasn't missing a lot today."
In other night action, American qualifier Michael Russell beat France's Nicholas Mahut 6-3, 6-3 and Spain's Feliciano Lopez beat 14th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut 7-6(7), 3-6.
Earlier in the day, France's Julien Benneteau had little trouble dusting off former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt, 6-1, 6-2. Benneteau and Hewitt endured two rain delays, the second of which lasted two hours.
"I tried to keep the same momentum and the same rhythm of the match," Benneteau said. "I just tried to stay focused to be able to play the same way."
Benneteau was leading 4-1 in the first set when the first brief rain delay occurred. He was up 4-2 in the second when storms moving through the Toronto area halted his and every other match taking place.
"The rain delay, it's never easy but it's for both players," he said. "I had two break points before, 15-40 and then a deuce. So it's never easy."
Benneteau also said it's never easy facing Hewitt, even though the Aussie is 42nd now and 11 years removed from being atop the world rankings.
"He's a great fighter and to beat him you have to play solid," Benneteau said. "You have to do a good match. It's the kind of player that if your level is not good enough, you don't win."
To open the tournament on centre court, 15th-seeded Marin Cilic got pushed to the limit before beating Denis Istomin, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. The Croatian said Istomin was dealing with a shoulder injury that led to some unpredictability.
"He had some shots were coming off good, some not, and it was difficult to know what was going to come," Cilic said. "It got a bit complicated."
In other early action, France's Jeremy Chardy beat Argentina's Federico Delbonis, 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, French qualifier Benoit Paire defeated Colombian Alejandro Falla, 6-7, 6-4, 6-2, and American qualifier Tim Smyczek downed German qualifier Tobias Kamke, 6-3, 6-2.
The Rogers Cup Hall of Fame induction ceremony was also postponed because of the weather. Stefan Edberg and former Rogers Cup Master of Ceremonies Don Goodwin will now be inducted Tuesday night.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union has opened a new front in its trade battle with China by launching an investigation into alleged dumping by Chinese producers of stone used for counter tops and tiles.
The European Commission said on Friday it was starting the study after a complaint lodged last month by A.St.A., the European association of manufacturers of agglomerated stones.
The association accuses Chinese manufacturers of dumping - selling products below fair value or even cost price.
The EU market is worth an annual 480 million euros ($624 million), according to a source familiar with the case, with Chinese imports representing some 9 percent of that, making it a small to medium case for Commission investigators.
In the past two months, the Commission has imposed duties to counter dumping of Chinese solar panels and told Beijing it is prepared to launch an investigation into anti-competitive behavior by producers of mobile telecoms equipment.
EU solar panel imports from China totaled 21 billion euros in 2011. China has warned that duties on panels would seriously harm bilateral trade, and threatened to retaliate if an EU telecoms investigation begins. It has since launched anti-dumping and anti-subsidy inquiries into sales there of European wine.
A.St.A has 15 members, including six from Italy and two each from Spain and non-EU member Turkey.
Agglomerated stones are made from stone dust and particles mixed and stuck together with polymer resin, and are typically less expensive, less porous and harder than natural granite or marble. ($1 = 0.7691 euros)

The Quick and the Dead [EPUB]
04 July 2015, 06:08
At the end of the First World War more than 192,000 wives had lost their husbands, and nearly 400,000 children had lost their fathers. A further half a million children had lost one or more siblings. Appallingly, one in eight wives died within a year of receiving news of their husband's death. Few people remained unscathed and the effects of the conflict are still with us. The Quick and the Dead will pay tribute to the families who were left to suffer at home while their husband, fathers and sons went off to fight, and the generations that followed.
Through the stories in this groundbreaking history, we realise not just what became of our grandfathers but how their experiences influenced the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of a generation that they left at home. Against all the odds some stories ended happily - missing fathers did return, men thought to be dead returned from prisoner of war camps to a joyous reunion. For others the loss, while difficult to bear at the time, gave them an independence, drive and ambition that ensured that their lives were successful and a fitting tribute to those who died.
Very few people know that only the first minute's silence on Armistice Day is in memory of the dead of the Great War and all the subsequent wars. The second minute is for the living, the survivors of the war, and the wives and the children they left behind. Through a unique collection of over fifty interviews, private diaries and a remarkable collection of unpublished letters written by the soldiers to their families back home, The Quick and the Dead is a history of those who are commonly forgotten and neglected when the fallen are remembered on Armistice Day.

Benchmarks for Finite Element Pre-Processors
This report was produced under NAFEMS contract number NEL/F/520 at the request of the General Technology Working Group. The objective of the contract was to define principles and procedures for the evaluation of finite element pre-processor software with respect to accuracy, robustness, breadth of application and ease of use. The work was divided into two phases. The first was essentially a definition of functionality and a survey of commercially available pre-processor software and was reported in Reference 1. In the second phase, criteria were identified by which to assess such software and a set of benchmark problems was developed.
This document deals with mainly the second phase. Accordingly Section 3 discusses the attributes required of pre-processor software and hence the criteria to be considered in evaluating its suitability. Section 4 presents a number of benchmark problems which are designed for software assessment.
Section 3 and 4 are intended, as far as possible, to be self-sufficient. However, the discussion of pre-processor attributes in Section 3 necessarily assumes some familiarity with the abilities and operations of current commercial pre-processors. Therefore, for completeness, a summary description of the functionality of such software is provided in Section 2. This has been derived from the survey performed in the first phase of the project which is reported in more detail in Reference 1.
The work as a whole is the responsibility of the authors, but it has been guided and assisted by members of the General Technology Working Group under the Chairmanship of Prof. G.A.O. Davies. In addition the opinions and assistance of the finite element user community have been sought. To this end, two questionnaires were devised. The first questionnaire covered in some detail the functionality anticipated of existing pre-processor software, and was distributed to the authors and/or vendors of fifteen commercially available programs. Comments were invited from these sources to ensure that all major facilities were recognised and fairly represented. The second, relatively short, questionnaire was distributed to all U.K. addresses on the NAFEMS mailing list. This questionnaire gave all interested (and sometimes frustrated) users the opportunity to highlight any features or problems which they believed should receive particular attention, either by direct inclusion in a functionality checklist or inclusion implicitly in a benchmark problem.

Google's Homepage Gets a Second Box — for Google+ Sharing
Google rarely clutters its minimalist home page with extra buttons or gizmos, but it made an exception for its social network Google+.
The company has added a share button to the right-hand corner of its patented search page design. (Yes, a mostly blank space is patentable.) The update is rolling out to all users in the coming weeks.
Clicking on the share button opens a box for adding updates to your Google+ account. It does not include your search results in the update.
The share box, first spotted by Marketing Land, is part of an update to the "Google bar", which the search giant announced earlier this month. Essentially, it migrates the share button from the bar to the Google homepage.
Previously, the Google Bar looked like this:
It may seem like a minor update, and in many ways it is. But this is the first time Google's homepage itself (rather than the bar above it) has offered any function other than search.
If Google+'s close integration with search results through Search plus Your World weren't enough to state Google's commitment to its social network, you can add this to the evidence.
Google makes most of its money through advertisers who want to pinpoint the consumers who are most likely to buy their products. Google has a ton of search and browsing data that can help them do that, but it doesn't have the valuable social graph that Facebook does.
Now the company is using search to help it build a social graph, via Google+ — and heavily advertise that network in the process.
In some ways the integration makes sense. Social data can be used to help determine the most relevant search results, and you might come across something in a search that's convenient to share immediately. Some argue, however, that the integrations take away from the effectiveness of Google Search.
"Personally, if find it intrusive," wrote Danny Sullivan, the editor-in-chief of Marketing Land and Search Engine Land. "I don't get why I want to go to the Google home page to share content on Google+. I'll go to Google+, if I want to do that."
