ECU Diagnostic Software Re-Write

[aide]

Hi

I had some time off last summer so I bought an MBE ECU off eBay and set about simulating its environment.

I then played around with the ECU and the original diagnostic software and figured out how the two talk to each other.

I then re-wrote the ECU diagnostic software as an Android app.

So, now I can connect my phone to the ECU in my Cerbera.

I'm going to release the App soon but I'm not sure what to call it.

Does AJP-Bot sound good?

Excellent work. This is something I had in mind too, but I was messing with my Skyline's ECU. Android devices are now the perfect replacement for in car computers as they are relatively cheap, can hold lots of data, have a touch screen and take relatively little space.

Got no suggestions for the name, a few beers might sort that out! All the best with the project!

AJP Bot sounds fine to me. How does it connect?

Fancy doing an iPhone version. Or shall I just get a used phone.

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.

Nice work.

Do you think it would work on a Kindle Fire? which is android based as far as I know

Not sure tbh, if it's android based I guess so. I still have a few bits to finish off. But can certainly have a look once version 1 is done.

Top man!

Certainly will. Incidentally the first ecu I used was from a Tuscan speed six, I then got examples from a 4.2 and 4.5 to test with. Still a bit left to do..

Awesome work!! Will be downloading once it is available!

Perfect example of why Android is far superior to Apple.. That is O/T though.

Let's hope you never break your back again - God knows what you could end up doing!

What hardware are you using to connect the android phone to the Rs232 socket?

How about the Guv'nor?

Very fine work, I can see this being extremely handy to all TVRs from the Cerb and on! I would also like to add my name to the list of beta testers.

Wow great work!
I also am up for any and all testing. One question - how are you going to licence it? Would be great if we could throw it onto github
