Welcome to the Wiki supporting the Ford Electric Vehicle Hackathon, held at Tech Shop Menlo Park on September 7-8, 2013.
The intention with this hackathon is to provide the developer community a unique opportunity to interface with Ford Motor Company's electrified vehicles. We have modified the OpenXC interface for three Ford energi (Plug-In Hybrid Electric) vehicles to export a much richer signals set, but also support beta APIs allowing you to control select functionality of the cars. While these extended and beta interfaces will only be available during this event, we hope to inspire you to come up with new ideas on writing apps that makes use of the car, and at the same time provide feedback for us on how you would like the official interfaces develop in the future.
This wiki contains documentation of the modified APIs, a list of who is attending, and a page where you can share your hack ideas in order to recruit more people to your "team".
To participate in this event, please sign up at the Tech Shop Signup Page. Also, note that by participating, you implicitly agree to our standard Confidential Disclosure clauses.
