Hi all, new to the forum and to OrBit. Should have my PINs very soon I hope so I can get some of that sweet Pixel active matrix headlight action on my Polestar 2! I have the cable, but I only have one laptop now, and all my machines run some form of Linux or FreeBSD. My only Windows machines are a gaming rig in my home office on the other side of the house from my garage, and one that my grandson uses in the upstairs guest room - maybe someday I'll repurpose that one to be a shop PC.
But I thought I'd try something crazy and fired up my Windows 10 virtual machine on my laptop and sure enough, OrBit was able to control the USB-attached ethernet connection via a virtual network NAT connection (default on QEMU/KVM) and it worked like a charm. Was able to pull codes, get the LV battery voltage, the SoH on the HV battery (93% after 3+ years and 30K+ miles!). Great news for me, no need to build a 150ft network cable.
So if anyone needs to try this, just thought I'd throw it out there.
