Script to start the Volt

[eplantz]

Got it working!

if you are going to use the weather temp feature, don't forget to fix the script as I mentioned in a recent post.

I downloaded "curl-7.23.1-win64-ssl-sspi.zip". When I run the VBS I get an error window with the title "curl.exe - System Error" and the text "The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

No ... I am confused by the pages that present the binaries and the OpenSSL project ... and there is no clear set of instructions of exactly what's needed. (Running Win7-64.) Do I need to compile the "curl" package ?? I would rather avoid this. That's why I searched for and found and downloaded only the "curl.exe".

I don't have WIN64 but here is what it looks like you need:


The CURL program itself:

http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/?type=bin&os=Win64&flav=-

the second one is SSL if you want that. Just unzip it to a folder like C:\CURL


OpenSSL lib: http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
scroll down to the WIN64 light version. download and install to C:\CURL as well

Copy your VBS script to C:\CURL
edit the VBS script to specify the folder and your OnStar info and WEATHER true/false


you do not need to compile anything.

good luck.

Nogo.

After installing the light package ... same error. I then searched and found the MSVCR100.dll in a Windows\SysWOW64 folder. Copied it to c:\curl. It sort of worked but bombed out later in the script.

If someone is using Win7-64 successfully, please post a list of all files ( incl. DLLs ) in your C:\CURL folder.

TIA.

Right ! Your post = #10 in this thread. And again sorry for being "dense" ... but where did you get "libssl.zip" from ?

[Cord]

I did get it from

http://curl.haxx.se/

There seems to be a newer version.

lets us know what error you get and I am sure we can help

I get so much of my video support files from guru3d.com -- I almost posted that link !!!

My first computer program was for the IBM 1401 - by the time I got to see a 1401 it was being used as a print buffer device for the IBM-360

Can I ask for another feature/script?

I would like one that will tell the Volt to Charge Now.

Explanation:
I signed up for the TOU rates with my local utility company at my house. They rate jumps up from $0.06/kWh to $0.35/kWh from 1pm to 7pm. Because of that I have the Volt set top NOT charge between 1pm - 7pm daily.

I also get to charge at work on occasion. I noticed that it would stop charging at 1pm (as it should), and I would go into the OnStar app and tell it to start charging again...but if I forget than I come back from lunch and start charging I get like 1 hour of charging, then it sits plugged in and not charging.

Is it possible to script that? I would love to have one that will start the charge if it's plugged into 120 (I have 240 at home). So I know that it will start at work, but not if I'm at home and the rates are too high.
