Gauging Interest: MMCd for Android

[Memphetic]

Hey all. I've been mulling over the idea.. I've spent a stupid amount of money to get a decent palm that's extremely outdated, find a new battery for it, get a serial adapter, etc. etc.

I was thinking of porting MMCd to Android and then creating a bridge via Bluetooth from the OBD port of the car. Obviously this would be with first gens in mind, but I could likely expand it to include second gens at a later date (and when I have access to a second gen for testing). Let me know what you think, and if you would like to be added to an update list, send me a PM with your email (or post it here). Thanks!

Hybrid support soon because my 1G got smashed to hell and I'm putting the engine into a 2G

Nice work, man! The problem with the camera is actually the reflection of yourself on the phone screen. Next time try to wear black clothes and adjust the brightness of your phone to maximum

no ebay. anyone have one that i can buy for thirty bucks? i have paypal and a debit card pick one.
want a bluetooth interface. help me out here!

Wait wait wait.. before you buy an OBD2 adapter, realize that I don't have hybrid support yet and the generic OBD2 adapters may not work. I haven't tested anything at this point for hybrid.

Looking good. how do you port programs from one platform to another?

Requires learning a new programming language (most likely), a new API, and then building the program again from the ground up.

So what kind of time frame are we talking for the 1g BT adapter to be ready for distribution? I'm getting REALLY anxious. Lol

does the torque app show air/fuel ratios just as a wideband would?

 

[dsmcoder]

would this work for iphone too?

 

[jrdrew5]

Uh no.

[jrdrew5]

This app does?

what u mean by this? it does or doesnt show air/fuel ratios as a wideband would?

It doesn't. It's not in the logging software that allows you to log a wideband A/F, it's in the actual wideband. You need a wideband sensor to log wideband A/F, stock dsms don't come with a wideband sensor.

When will the hardware be available and if it is already where?

 

[skatershawn]

Nice work.. keep it up!!

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFpfamt5LWRVQ1ExbHhtSzRXczUtTVE6MQ Hardware "preorder" form. This is so that we know what kind of initial supply to buy.

This form is closed is it already available or no?

I was also wondering this.

Any updates on hardware status/availabiliy?

Any updates on hardware status/availabiliy?

I sent the OP a message a few weeks ago asking about the hardware for the 1g. Never heard back. Im not about to buy the program in the market until I know i can buy the hard parts to use it.

 

[Memphetic]

I just stopped answering because it wasn't up to me... I'm not making the hardware, as I've said a few times.. it's up to the guy who's making it. He says he's going to put out the first 14 this weekend. However, at this point I wouldn't be holding my breath (as I have been.............)

Trust me, I'm a lot more frustrated than any of you.

 

[cagleje]

Eagerly awaiting the hardware. Swapping over to a droid as my Windows phone was not as much fun.

for those of us with the old school TMO(ppt) ADL to rs232(serial) cables would it be at all possible to run your app with a basic BT to serial converter?

Eh... my better judgement says no. Unless you have a pretty decent serial convertor (I saw one that supported the baud rate, but I can't remember where, and it was fairly expensive.) If I haven't personally tested it, I don't want to tell you yes, essentially. You're welcome to try it, however.

That said, I'm working on an adapter that will allow you to use your USB cable to connect the phone.. obviously that makes it so that it won't be wireless anymore, but it'll be at a cheaper price point and will be purchased through me. Hopefully I'll have some videos after I get my prototype in...
