Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

I've got a different adapter (www.canusb.com) reading CAN bus in my vehicle. I've got some diagnostic apps written in Qt, but I'm waiting for MeeGo so that I can run it on an Atom based board. There is a ton of info flying over the CAN bus, thousands of messages per second. I've found accelerometer data, steering wheel position, pedal positions. A bluetooth CAN reader would be a great device for the N900.

Hi Spenc3,
How the work progressing? I hope you are making in-roads.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Any news on this?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

May be after Fmw 1.2 ?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

It should be possible to use Carman with the N900 and a Bluetooth OBD-II reader. Someone knows if the Carman source is somewhere available?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Carman source is available on https://garage.maemo.org/projects/carman/.
Spenc3 posted in this thread he was also working on it.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

hmm but it seems dead, i mean for the N900

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

So where is the problem to get it running on a N900 if it was working fine on a 8XX device?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

I was able to run Carman on N900 today. I had to make some changes to the source code to get it work. I didn't get control applet working yet, though. I'm still working on it. I can't test ODB, because I don't have ODB reader yet. I ordered it today. Hope it comes soon.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

oh that is great news kopla, if you need anything just say it

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

This is excellent news. Im willing to offer any support and or funds (reasonable) that you might need to develop this app. Even though I can code, I dont have the time to do it. If you need hardware help or something similar just get in touch with me.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

hey so how is it going Tizbad2k?

did you get your ODB reader? and did you get the control applet to work?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Hi Guys, any update of any trial carman program to test out. I can test it as I have both N900 and blue-tooth odbkey to test is out with my car.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

no i dont think there is any updates so far... :-/

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

May be after firmware update 1.3 ?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

don't spoil this thread as well

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

I got the control applet working also. The problem is that I still haven't got the OBD-II bluetooth reader. I ordered it from DealExtreme but there is temporary stock shortage. So I don't know when I get it if at all :( Can someone help me to get OBD-II bluetooth reader? Thanks

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

seams like it is back in store :) i do have the one from dealextrema and have used it whit symbian and obdscope but did break my phone ,and did by the n900 for january and must say i do miss the obd function

have not a clue to fix this my self so i`m thinking of bying a n97 just to get the obdscope software again

do you think that you wil make it before summer ?

regards Juster

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

i suppose waiting is wasting of time.
i will order a N800 and do the job.
carman developers did not answer for 4 months so i think it's not possible to run on N900

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

I will order it from another shop. I believe I will get it working quite soon after I get the OBD reader.

p900:
I have run it on N900 but I can't test it in practise because I don't have the ODB reader yet.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

You could make the changes public or better become the new maintainer of the code and others will for sure help you with ideas, code and testing.

Just an idea.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

well if it is a complete application and you want me to test it even before you get you obd2, please let me know. i have a bluetooth obd2 which was working on N770 and carman

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

same goes here i will be more then happy to help out with testing the fixes alrealy made... and i dont mind if the gui does not work... even a command line tool would be fine

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

UMMM WTF is Carman???

Yep. Just seen it. Trust google eh!

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

first line of google search!

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

I have the ODB2 BT from DX and a compatible car (worked with ODBScope).. Happy to be a Guinea Pig for this app (if it doesnt wreck my N900 too much).. :)

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

That's a good idea. Maybe I could ask if I could make the changes to public code repository.

Thank you for your willingnes to help! I wan't to be sure the application really works in practice before I let you guys test it. I'll keep you updated!

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

any news from the battle field? :-d

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Hi guys

Last week I got the OBD-II reader from DealExtreme and I was able to test bluetooth connection in practise.
I noticed that the D-Bus API of the Bluez had changed compared to the N800/N810. That's why I had to make some changes to the code. Finally I got the bluetooth connection working but it doesn't work properly yet. Anyway I could test Carman in practise but it isn't very easy to get it working. Is there any bluetooth expert here? I will try to solve the bluetooth problem and other problems.

Here is a video from Carman in N900

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Great job...:eek::D:eek::D I'm impressed..I can not wait when I could connect my car

can be a problem with a sample rate .. I see that the processor in the N900 can not handle the refresh, and perhaps this is already a problem with bluetooth

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

That is looking VERY good! keep up the good work! Cant wait to have this on my N900!

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

oh man thats great news kopla

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Looks like a lot of Lag in the data stream somewhere. Can you get Oxygen sensor info short term and long term fuel injector trims, etc?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

OMG i was looking to develop something like this using Qt and here it is!! i love my n900 xD!!

Is it possible to make such a Gauge in Qt? i know there exist this library from: http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/...?content=87780
but i dont know if i can add it to my project in Qt Creator.

I am a total Qt newbie!! :/

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Could you tell us which adapter you are using from DealExtreme? Just to be sure that I buy the correct one.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Nice, but where do we get the app?

Download option from the http://openbossa.indt.org/carman/install.html does not seem to work...

edit:
ok, i got it now, strange thing it hasn't been ported to the N900 yet by it's own developers...

keep up the good work!
why don't you upload it to extras-devel (since the source code is now available to everyone)?
the more people get it tested the better, and all the bugs will be discovered...just a thought

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

+1 I would be keen to test it on a variety of vehicles. will it support OBD I ?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

I'd like to test it as well. I'm using software with N810, but would like to test (and use) it with my N900.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

Does this connect to car Bluetooth or what

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 

It connects to a OBDII bluetooth interface (you have to get one) connected to your car.
