Just a simple and very cheap ELM327 OBD2 scanner.

i have tried discharge the battery to less then 2Ah then start capacity measure but this damn button is sometimes red sometimes yellow or green. then it say sometimes not run, executing or not completed...

the developer does not know anything about it or wont tell me the steps i have to follow.
does someone completed this capacity measure succesfully? how can i make it work?
thanks

Found below hint on another forum, didn’t try that myself though..
“Discharged it till bms cut off at 2,8v and recharged it with the hobdrive capacity measure function.”

I have a Citroën C-Zero 2011 and tried to use Hobdrive to see the cell voltages and the battery capacity. I have two OBD2 dongles - an old one Konnwei KW901, which supports BT3, and a new one, vGate iCar Pro with BT4.0. I tried the vGate one with my iPhone and my other car (Ford Focus) using several other application and it did work. Those applications did not want to connect to C-Zero, though. One app showed that it connected to ELM but failed to find ECU. The dongles blinked with its lights during the process.
I tried the vGate with Hobdrive at iPhone and iPad and it failed to connect. When I choose Bluetooth in the connection settings, it shows the message “OK, see the adapter but don’t see the vehicle”. The lights on the obd dongle don’t blink and I get the same message even if the dongle is not connected to the car. It seems there is some glitch so the program doesn’t even try to connect. When I press “ELM327 adapter test” the app just crashes.
Ended up borrowing an old Android phone and Hobdrive worked well with both of the dongles I have.
Another issue in the iPhone app: I have my locale in the phone set to Swedish. When I start the app I think it mixes it up with Slovakian and display it in that language. I guess “se” is interpreted as “sv”. Had to switch the phone locale to English in order to test it properly.
Thanks for your effort developing the app, hope the issues with the iOS app could be fixed. There seems to be no alternative that works with C-Zero and iOS.

Are the numbers important for settings? Why did you put them there please?ok .
I am struggling to get connected to my Miev MiniCabs 2012 and 2017 to clear fault messages after a faulty fast charge completion.
Did you try Car Scanner already, much simpler to work with.
Hi, thanks, this seems to work fine on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, but when I downloaded the Playstore app, and when I let the playstore update this version, the version installed crashes instantly on startup. I don't know if you're the person to tell, but there we are.
It makes me kinda nervous about paying the not insignificant price of the full version in case it does the same.
Why do you want to pay for hobdrive software as much money as for cloned OpenPort 2.0? https://myimiev.com/threads/overvie...ters-their-functionality-and-the-future.5719/
Even if i would have to choose between spending money for hobdrive or spending more money to work with the Diagbox software using the ACTIA PSA XS EVOLUTION vci i would choose ACTIA PSA XS EVOLUTION over hobdrive.
Spending money on closed source software is never a good solution. Better spend money in better hardware gear and do not pay a penny for closed source software if somehow possible. In this case Diagbox and MUT-3 software both do not cost anything on the software side. I am not aware of a source to get the full hobdrive software for free.
