Good pi02w experience so far

[appletonpunk]

My Pi02w has been working great with 0.8.0 and I thought I would share. I can run nav, spotify, and obd2 scanner together with no stutters. Feel free to delete if unnecessary.

legacy mode disabled
mitm - dpi change only
wifi channel 6 - to avoid fcc channel clipping on 1 and 11
cpu heatsink

and one weirdly modified config:

arm_freq=1200
arm_freq_min=800
initial_turbo=45
gpu_freq=500
gpu_freq_min=300
over_voltage=2

arm_64bit=1

disable_splash=1
boot_delay=0
disable_poe_fan=1
camera_auto_detect=0
display_auto_detect=0
max_framebuffers=1
disable_fw_kms_setup=1
hdmi_blanking=2
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
hdmi_ignore_cec=1
force_eeprom_read=0
ignore_lcd=1
disable_touchscreen=1
disable_overscan=1

Thanks for your feedback, some of those changes are now in place:
https://github.com/aa-proxy/buildroot/blob/main/external/board/rpi/config.txt#L25
and will be in next version
other ones ... worth to investigate, so thanks :)

Regarding the channel... I am still not sure which one is better. AI is stating that ch 6 is in the middle of bluetooth bandwidth and better choices are 1 and 11 but I am still not sure if this is true...

If you're using:
initial_turbo=45 I think you should also need force_turbo=0. It means that it will use full CPU speed for 45 seconds since power on.

Wait, you can do odb2 reading with this too? Or you have one in the odb2 port running wirelessly and there is no interference between the pi and reader?

@appletonpunk is using OBD2Scanner - it is android app and running on android phone. I am using bluetooth OBD but on the raspberry with aa-proxy (for EV features). In my case it is also not stuttering. Maybe once an hour-two. Depends on conditions.

A short tutorial or guide to show the Google Maps EV routing with bluetooth OBD would be really really helpful ! Thanks for the awesome work that you are doing !

@GreenZeeGuy it's still more a DIY solution (but it's getting better), so ideally if you could connect to the Discord for support on this...
