MiEV-CAN

[garygid]

Nice progress, it installs on my Vizio tablet.

I have started looking at b4a.
Without some BT source, the app does not do much.

Maybe I can make another app to read a RealTerm log file
and "simulate" being an OBDLink sending data?

Perhaps you would email your source to me?
Thanks, Gary

I have two Vizio Android tablets.
I am trying to use BlueTerm to connect and BT between the two.

I discover and pair, but BlueTerm cannot connect.
Does one BT need to be a Host and the other a Client?

Or, maybe I am missing something?

I was hoping to use BlueTerm or something like that
to send data to CaniON2... Any suggestions?

hello,
I have no ideas on using BT between 2 android devices,
but it is possible,there are examples of BTChat

 

[garygid]

I bought B4A so that I could compile your program.
Installing two platforms took a long time, but I really
did not know what I should install.

With B4A-Bridge on the android tablet, I connected to
Win7 via WiFi, and managed to compile and send a
"Hello World" program over, and then compile and
send your program over, but both seem to be in
Debug mode.

So, some progress, including building a GID-Meter
and getting it sent to a LEAFer in Colorado.

Next, I hope to use my OBDLink SX to log my Prius
using RealTerm.

Then, I want to get the OBDLink logging direct to
CAN-Do programmed and tested.

Bravo John
it will be interesting after driving to get and analyse all the files from the BTION folder.
there is state.txt ; at this time, it stores only the mac adress of bt device,
there should be for each trip a log_YYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt , this is csv file with one record / sec
there should be a odolog.txt , this is a csv file with one record / KM.

about the UI , at this time, it shows basic infos in a rather primitive fashion...
I am waiting for external ideas before starting changes.

about the initial connecting problem, it is much better than before , but this is not perfect...
I will probably restart the init sequence if after 5 sec there is nothing....

@gary
I hope you got a halfprice for b2a; I am using B4A...
take your time when learning the product, anyway, their support forum is great.

 

[garygid]

Oops, yes, it is B4A (Basic4Android), not B2A.
I fixed my post, thanks.

No half price, I did not know about the discount.
But, I now have the coupon code.
If anybody wants to use it, please just PM me.
I am permitted to share the discount code.

I made a small change in the layout.
the full app is there; the apk is in the folder objects.

hello
I am testing another release with a better control on initial BT link.
it works (at least) as well as previous one.
I tested on nexus 7 & galaxy gt n7000.

in the logs from jjlink, I am sad because the odolog is empty (my mistake...).

also, I have a question to jjlink :

do you have a special iMiev waterproof model, or is there something strange in the GPS' s alt?

 

[priusfan]

hello, I was wondering because
on your previous picture, Alt is -25
this is supposed to be GPS' s Altitude (meters)....

 

[garygid]

Perhaps the accuracy of the GPS Altitude reading is the
problem, where a +5 altitude could be reported as -25?

What fields have what GPS data?

 

[priusfan]

the altitude comes from phone's GPS, it is easy to check using for instance androsensor...

 

[priusfan]

another trial, tested on 3 devices with better results...
the apk is in the objects folder.

v194 of CAN-Do has code to read and log the OBDLink SX via
the USB virtual Comm Port. There might be bugs, but those of you
with the right hardware might want to try it out.
http://www.wwwsite.com/puzzles/cando/CAN-Do-v194.zip
(This is just the program itself.)

I have not yet had a chance to try it, so it could easily have "insects"!

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, Gary

 

[garygid]

If somebody with CAN-Do (and some iMiEV logs saved by CAN-Do
as ".can" files), has added (and saved) Recipe entries for
all/most/some of the "known" data fields and MsgIDs,
then I can add a DashBoard page in CAN-Do for the iMiEV.

Thanks, Gary

another trial, tested on 3 devices with better results...

I tried it last night and it worked pretty well.

Also I compared the Nexus 7 tablet and the Samsung Galaxy-3 and they both read the altitude wrong by different amounts.

How do I save the file as a .can file? I see .alc & .txt but not .can. Also should I log it EV-com or Car-Com? ODBlink needs Car-com to run the setup script.

 

[garygid]

The iMiEV has the Car-CAN bus, which you would normally save
as a binary ".can" file (unless there is also another "channel" recorded).

You may also save your log as an ".alc" (all-CAN) file, it just makes
a little bit larger file, adding one CAN-type byte to each record.

 

[garygid]

When logging from the OBDLink SX, or similar, one must use
the Car-Comm channel, since the iMiev has only the Car-CAN bus.

To save to a binary log file, one selects the File Type with the
Radio Buttons nearby.

hello,
I just tried v194 with obdlink, I am lost in the parameters...

I could collect some data from my prius ( the ion is out with my wife, but the CAN is exactly the same between the 2 cars),
I can execute the script, it works,
but I have no idea about logging,
by accident I recorded something in a text file (it is a structured log)

could somebody present a sequence of screen capture, in the right order, with working parameters?

thx
