Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

I have no problems to run Carman 0.6.3 and Elmscan 5 BT with Diablo. This was priority #1 that Carman runs well with Diablo.

But ... we have August :D :D ... come on, give us the d/l link please ;)
You really mean August 2008 ;)

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

I have the same scanner and have been unable to connect. I am able to get the n810 to recognize and pair with the scanner, however, when trying to connect I recieve a "Connection Error" message.

Any suggestions aside from waiting for the next release?

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

August is over. Handful, any updates on how far the new release has gotten pushed back?

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

+1 on that... waiting with bated breath :D

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Was that August 2008?

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

or maybe august 2070?

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

For those who have a connection error, there is an update of the python package that may solve the problem.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Where would one go about getting said python package update?

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

agreed, aside from a red pill hunt for the said package, i am up to date with current packages.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

I saw a python update in redpill mode a few days ago, forgot the exact description.
It worked for me.
Don't you see the same update ?

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Same here.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

It's practical, eye-popping, already-there-or-headed-for-open-source projects like this that make the tablets shine.

More, more!

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Hi folks,

we are really close to release the next version of Carman (0.7 beta1). I've uploaded some screenshots of the next version in the carman site (http://openbossa.indt.org/carman/screenshots.html).

Carman 0.7 beta1 should be out next week.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Naturally you'll Email these when they're up so I can take the Bluetooth ELMscan for another test drive in the Yaris? ;)

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

YAY!

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

"next week" wouldn't happen to be next Monday, eh? :D I take my trip Tuesday. Anyways, looking forward to it.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

YAY!!! Can't wait.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Is 'next' week 'this' week or next week calculated from this week? Thank you!

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

And please can someone tell me; what is carman? :)

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

You can't even go to the start of the thread?

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Thank you for your kind and very informative answer.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Carman 0.7 is trying to get to extras-devel https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/e...er/thread.html :)

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

in fact i have seen several updates to assorted python packages. i have installed the python 2.5 package offered by the indt repository, and i still get the connection error.

can you specify which python package(s) you have, and what versions they are?

most appreciated.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

hi brendan,

there was a problem in the python2.5 package dependency on the version released on early July that removed the bluetooth support in the python core. This issue was fixed on the version 2.5.2-1osso4. So, please update your python package. The symptom was that when you try to connect to an obd device, you immediately got a connection error message. If this is is not the case, generate some logs and then post on them on the carman forum on the garage page.

Br,
Eduardo

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

folhabranca,

thank you, i can now connect to the elmscan obd device. the update to python did the trick.

some QA notes:

i took my car for a ride around the block and was recording the data, after a minute or two, i got an message "Connection Lost" and the app was back at the initial screen where you choose the connection type. i reconnected and the data recorded was gone.

i am not sure if this is an issue with the connection or if i ran out of space in the filesystem and that caused the app to fault and close the connection.

not sure what the new version has in the way of configurations, but having the ability to save recorded data somewhere other than the internal memory would be nice, especially if going on a long trip.

i would like to generate some logs for you and i notice that there are a couple parameters for log format and what have you. can you give a few examples of the values those parameters take? --log-format=FORMAT is a little vague. does that mean i can specify csv or something else? what about the other parameters as well.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

FYI: Carman 0.7beta is out :) :) ... great, thank you very much! Will try it tomorrow morning when I drive to office!

Do you plan such thing with Carman too? So I can use it with my Eee PC :)

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Well, you should not need full HD for an Eee with the same resolution as the N8x0, you know...

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Where is it? I don't see it in the application manager.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Yeah, where is it? It is not on the home page either!

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

extras-devel

Come on people, get with it!

Oh nice, they did release their source (of course, if it's in free) : http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...free/source/c/ :)

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

lol, still nothing.

Web Address : http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution : diablo
Component : free non-free

Still nowhere to be found. I already had 0.6 installed, does that change something? I uninstalled it but 0.7 is still not in my list.

What am I missing?

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Carman is here. They have an special repository.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Loved canoloa, want carman, but they need some help on their web page:

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Still don;t see the new version. The link above is to the 0.6 version release.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

That's the old repository. Carman will be distributed through Extras.

Relax. :) They'll update the website when it's actually released. ;)

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Sorry, my mistake.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Well, I found (and installed) 0.7. It looks very nice, and the parrts I could test (map) seemed nice.

But, when can we get a definitive list of which BT-based ODB-II scanners work? Especially the cheaper 327-based ones...

where did you manage to find 0.7 then? come on, let us in on the secret ;-)

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

It's in extras/devel, as others have stated.

It "just appeared" in Application Mangler yesterday around lunchtime.

Re: Carman Update Coming August
 

Nothing here. Even with forced updates of extras-devel... No carman :(
