Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
first error I get is carman-ui dependency

Then when I try to install that I get python2.5-rtree dependency issues.

I didn't go there because I have most of python libraries and don't want to do a bunch of non optified stuff if I can help it.

Are you guys seeing these dep errors as well?

Got it loaded up. I don't have an OBD device, but it looks pretty nice. Got the GPS working fine by editing the conf file pointed out earlier.

Only thing I noticed, and it was already mentioned, is that the gps doesn't shut down after closing Carman and the bluetooth stays enabled.

Great port but eats a lot of rootfs (7MB)

Even after reboot carman wont connect to my obd2.
It says connecting, leds flashing and then disconnects.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
I installed it yesterday, but it keeps saying something like "Error: no plugins found."

So the program boots, and goes to the main menu, but there i get the error, and none of the buttons are working. Only the one to exit the app.

I'm eager to get this working as I have a bluetooth OBD-key.

You have to reboot your phone and then try again

Hello
I have just installed carman on my N900. I didn't find any problems with it either installing it or connecting it with my OBD2
it seems to be working fine.
I will try to connect the GPS tomorrow. (probably an external bt gps) and check if it works.
I will keep you posted =)

p900 2010-06-26 11:29
Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
in the GPS status (configure GPS) I cannot see either the internal or the external GPS device.

Zodie 2010-06-26 13:47
Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
Got this installed and working, had to pair my N900 with my OBD-II first and then Carman could connect.

I haven't managed to get the speed alert to actually alert me when I go over the maximum set speed. Any Ideas?

Also, my N900 gets confused with the internal GPS status after I close Carman. Any else getting this?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
I managed to connect the external GPS with carman and it's working.

Can someone please answer this? I'm stuck in the same boat as well and cant install since the current build has dependencies for the previous Python 2.5 and I'm on PR1.2 with Python 2.6.

Anyone kind enough to advise on how to get around this?

Thanks in advance!

are you trying to install it from the carman repository or from extras-devel repository?

Juster 2010-06-28 15:15
Re: Carman for Maemo 5?

From the Extras-Devel Repo... I havent configured the Carman Repo (dont know what it is actually)..

I did an Apt-get install Carman using root.. came back to say that carman: Depends: Carman-ui (>= 0.7-pre-alpha-1-1) but is not going to be installed. When you apt-get install carman-ui, says Depends: python2.5-efi-core (>= 0.9.9.050+svn38845-maemo1) but is not going to be installed. Also Depends: hildon-inf-ecore but is not going to be installed

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
Drove 1000km with N900 CarMan showing gauges over the weekend, seemed to work fine. Had to drive and had the family with me so didn't play with it too much while driving.

N900's small screen would benefit from a clearer theme, those red-on-red "LED" digits and gauge labels are too difficult to see if the device is on the dashboard or in a phone holder. Also a portrait mode would be nice as many users have a vertical phone holder on their dashboards if also other family members need to attach phones.

GPS did actually work fine after reboot, it's just not listed in the list of found GPS (bluetooth actually) devices. A couple of times the OBD device wasn't connected at the first try but worked fine after found.

Looks very good, as far as I could see it works just like with N8x0.

Like most, using the DealExtreme adapter, works fine and should arrive in a couple of weeks to your local post office, shipping free. The case can be cut open with a sharp knife, after that the plug was maybe 12mm lower and fitted nicely under the fusebox cover of my car. Not that it would be recommended to leave a device that can be used to wirelessly control your car attached all the time:)

did manage to get it installed, did disabel all of the acauntn's exept extras-devel :) but did not get the gauge showing data . are going to try it in another car later

After closing the application my N900 keeps the GPS and BT on. BT can be set offline but the GPS stays on, even when I start another GPS program and closes that one. Carman sees the internal GPS and I see connecting -> fixing -> fixed but Carman does nothing with the GPS, no info on any of the screens.

Another strange thing, when I exit Carman my cpu seems locked at max mhz (700 in my case).

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
I have the same thing.
After I have used Carman, battery drains quite fast (locked cpu eating all power?)
I don't use GPS for now, because after Carman use had to reboot my N900 to lose GPS locking.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
How did you edit , that gps will use the internal?
Can you do this on the phone or with a computer?

I think you need a file manager and an editor installed in your phone
or
edit the file on your computer

... and don't forget to disable devel after installation.

I can confirm that the device from dealextreme.com works fine (N900 + Renault Espace). Delivery to Switzerland was 11 days.

and how many days waiting for supplier? :D

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
I just noticed a missing feature on carman. My car runs on E85 and now and again the error P0170 appears. (Too Lean). Which result in too little fuel, adjustment of the E85 Kit resolves the issue.

You can check engine codes on Carman and get description but I cannot find any "clear codes" section after fixing the problem

I had to use my old phone and it software to reset it.

bchliu 2010-07-13 01:18
Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
Woohoo.. finally got it installed last night. Had to disable every other Repo on my list and enable only Extras-Devel. Installed fine thereafter. Seems like a conflict with an older version on another repo maybe?

For my DealExtreme OBD2 transceiver, the wait was 11 days from order placement to shipment. In this new era of near-instantaneous Amazon shipments, I suppose that's slow, but receiving a package all the way from Hong Kong in under three weeks at DealExtreme prices still seems a pretty good value to me.

Any way you slice it, it's a darn sight better than the old standard of six to eight weeks for mail order within the continental U.S. The process of converting boxtops into toys was slow magic and a terrible thing to do to your average, impatient child, no doubt about it.

Thanks for the info. I will be ordering mines from them tomorrow. I don't think 11 days will kill me :cool:

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
even 25 days is no big deal.
a friend of mine ordered something from them which was in stock and one month later they told him it's out of stock. their website still writes in stock and it's 2 months after the purchase.

you have already paid :D
Now you will play :D

To be honest, an older version of carman for nokia 770 supported the viewing of many car sensors which I cannot find on this version.
I was able to see even the fuel percentage.

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
Well they still working on the app and updating it so maybe that feature will come in a later update?

Re: Carman for Maemo 5?
 
I just got my dongle from dealxtreme. The N900 finds it and all but disconnects from it after a few seconds. Does the dongle remain connected for you all?

I saw someone talking about manually connecting and that working.

How do you do that? The connection button in the Maemo UI bluetooth options are grayed out, and Carman can't connect when I tell it to try by manually clicking there.


Update:
Well seems to connect every once in a while

I ordered my dongle July 13th, it shipped July 15th and I got it in the mail July 26th. I tested it out the next day had a time setting it up lol. Couldn't do it at first than I figured I needed to pair it first, it picked up in my bluetooth settings as CAN OBDII. Wouldn't pair til I put in the passcode 0000 than it paired right on up. Went to Carman connected and tested it out a lil bit. Rev'in the engine and it worked well will test more this following week.

Bought one of these ODB BT adapters from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_3905wt_1098

Paired up with my N810 with code 1234, carman works after adding the symbolic links from the above posts.

However, I get constant disconnects if the 810 is more than a few inches from the dongle.
Anyone else getting bad connectivity with bluetooth?
Otherwise my 810 bluetooth works great with my other devices.
Next to get it working on my N900

Do you get the bt adapter to constantly stay connected and keep updating the carman app on the N900?

Mine does a initial status reading once it connects and then no more unless I disconnect and reconnect.

I'm waiting to test it more sometime this week. Going to plug it into one of my friends car and take a lil drive around for a bit and see how it acts.
