ECU Diagnostic Software Re-Write
Discussion

it's not just for AJP cars though is it? so something that includes SP6 cars in the title would be good
I designed the original version using an ecu from a tuscan speed six and have since got an ecu from a 4.2 and 4.5 AJP8, which work perfeclty fine. When it's finished it should cater for all engines that have an MBE ecu.Astounding Aide - and producing a new daughter as well - There obviously is no end to your talent 
As usual Mr. Dullo's questions....
Android is Linux isn't it ? and therefore Public License. Does that mean it could be run on Symbian^3 (Nokia N8) ??
Ta !

)There is so much more potential to extend the app beyond the functionality of the original diagnostic software.
I've already integrated the built in gps receiver in my phone so that I can have a speedometer on the app.
Plus, behind the scenes, I can log all the engine stats in real time with speed, gps position and elevation as well.
So it shouldn't be hard to allow the app dispaly all this info [engine stats, speed, gps etc] on an embedded google map or something..
Plus it'll be easy to anayise this data, either externally or from withn the app..

Thanks Paul, the little one is grand, not much sleep lately!, but all good so far, yep android is based on linux but Symbian is Nokia's own operating system I believe so more than likely not compatable..As usual Mr. Dullo's questions....

The early version you demo'd looked fabulous .. with all the extra bells and whistles on it should be outstanding 
and yep if it will interface with all MBE ecus then the world is you lobster .. plenty of competition cars use MBE, also some Nobles, Dancing Donkeys also had MBE fitted .. it will put you well and truly on the automobile app map 
Also if you know MPH (gps) and RPM then you can deduce gear ratios and have a dashboard like they have on the F1 coverage where it shows lateral/longitudinal accelerations, gear selected, throttle input .. from the longitudinal accel you could also make an assumption on brake effort % being applied also. The posibilities are many for extra add-ons

Sounds great. If it could broadcast the data over wifi, then you could put an old android phone in the ecu box and watch the realtime data on your phone. Or with a data sim it could upload to a website for a DIY tracker, remote immobiliser, data logger...
Lots of potential there
Could even have the app communicate with itself in other cars (ie when at spa!)Lots of potential there

Yes, there are soem really interesting things you could add in. I've also successfully accessed the giroscope in the phone and can display acceleration and lateral g. and yep if it will interface with all MBE ecus then the world is you lobster .. plenty of competition cars use MBE, also some Nobles, Dancing Donkeys also had MBE fitted .. it will put you well and truly on the automobile app map Also if you know MPH (gps) and RPM then you can deduce gear ratios and have a dashboard like they have on the F1 coverage where it shows lateral/longitudinal accelerations, gear selected, throttle input .. from the longitudinal accel you could also make an assumption on brake effort % being applied also.

Just have to find time!!
Aide, interested in how you are interfacing with the MBE. Is this an add on bluetooth 232 dongle, or are you actually attaching wires to the bottom of your phone.
The nine pin plug in the MBE is simple RS232 and to my knowledge that doesn't come out of a mobile phone to use.
Only asking cos I have a project I have been trying to do where a mobile phone is stuck onto a radio contorlled helicopter and it would be very useful if RS232 was available.
As I see it your software would need to be supplied with the means to attach. I'm just not clear fro mthe thread how that happens.

Android is really great. It connects via the same cable just that my phone has a usb mini port so had to get an adapter cable.
It's for Android as the Apple rules for connecting to 3rd party hardware are pretty restrictive.

So, mini-usb to usb port adaptor + usb serial adaptor?

That sounds like fun, what sort of mobile phone are you going to stick to the helicopter?The nine pin plug in the MBE is simple RS232 and to my knowledge that doesn't come out of a mobile phone to use.
