DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

I was working on this project so i though to share it with you guys.
It is an OBD diagnostics running on N900. So far it works perfect on my car. For other cars still more work needs to be done. I will try to add more features (Cars, Ecus and Protocols) as soon as i get free time.;)

Thanks

Looks amazing man can't wait

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

looks good. Currenly using carman but interested to try this, especially as it is being actively developed. where do I find it to download?

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

this app still is not available to download. i might try to give a build to try if you tell me what your car details are...
To mention mainly able to support European cars....sorry..
cheers

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Looks nice. Would love to try it out. I have an ELM as well (800 series I think? Also bluetooth.) And while I'm in the US, I have a smart, so... I'm betting it behaves the same way. ;)

I have a 2003 Citroen C3 and a 2004 Kia Sorento. Being in Ireland, they are UK spec cars. let me when I can try it & give feedback. Mike

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Looks good, a decent OBD application is definitely missing on the N900.

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

waiting for the video :)

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

obd1 plz. nice work. will wait video.

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Fantastic work mate - Would love to try if (Ford C-Max here)

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Wow, looking forward to it! I was actually just trying to get pyOBD working on the N900 earlier today but the connection kept on timing out after I finally got all pieces together.

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

how do you interface with the OBD port? a bluetooth dongle?

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Yes, I believe that most people using mobile phones to interface with the OBD-II system use Bluetooth dongle's. You can find some fairly inexpensive ones these days online. I picked one up recently from eBay for around $15 USD.

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

i am using this..it is fairly cheep...you can get it from ebay for example.

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Just lining up to test this, since my previous efforts with Carman have failed (random connects / disconnects to the BT dongle). Car is Honda Jazz.

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

My car is OBD II but was built just before it was complianced, so it uses Mitsubishi's version of it (TS Magna 6G72). :( There's only one product available outside a Mitsubishi MUT-2 that can work with my car, but it's $200AUD. :(:( So many sad faces.

Edit: but this is awesome, another brilliant, REAL WORLD USEFUL app. Out of interest, how will the ability to read additional cars be added to the app?

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

got the same.. maybe I'm blind but I can't find any intructions for installing your app..

I also planned writing such a application using python with a advanced API, a daemon which would collect data in the background while driving and a user interface with a "ui-factory" (that how dev's call it) which would choose the right layout for the end-user device..

honda city ..cant wait ..

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Nice.. Wanna try on my cheapo Deal Extreme ELM BT adapter too :)

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Wow, this is amazing. Looking forward to this mate :D

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

what about audi a3 8p 2004 support? :)

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Would this work with a Ford Focus 2005 1.6 TDCI? (UK Model)
Thanks

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

I have the same one, and couldn't get it to work with Carman. Something about Carman not liking the ELM327 1.4.

Could be beneficial to split out the libraries so that other projects could also utilize the newer versions of it.

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

the ELM327 was working great on my N800 with Carman.. Have an Opel Corsa C..

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Any news regarding the first release? Can't wait :)
I have a VW T5 Multivan 2006.

Cheers

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Hello,

Thank you all for you interest in the application.
I built this application in my spare time to diagnose my car. And i thought to share it with you.
Still a lot of work needs to be done in order to bring to release state.
Hence i don't know when i will be releasing it.

Cheers

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Hi,

I have buy same item, by the way I have loose the little CD ...

Can you please host the content of yours somewhere where I can get it ?

A++

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

I'm not sure I will have any use for it. But very intressting indeed :D

Nice work

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

I'm very interested in this. Do You plan to - at any time in the future - implement options to reset warning messages, etc.? I know, that You can do everything at once ;) so my question is rather about application "roadmap", than actual feature request.

Remember, that carman source code was released, when then decided to not develop it further - maybe some parts of it can be helpful to implement some features for DonTGO?

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

raedbenz, you seem to be very busy..
If you need help in packaging or whatever send me a pm - maybe I can help you ;)

I also started coding now on my application, which I described here (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=17).. I'm sure I'll get a good modules at the end but to be honest I'm not good in making UI's.. I don't think I would get at the end something like Carman, but something simple using Qt :D

hope to hear from you soon

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

I hate to break it to you but your thread title was rather misleading :) There is a difference between OBD and OBDII. Lots of older cars (I think predating year 2000) runs on OBD system which included my car.

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

btw. it isn't also OBDII which is used there. The ELM chip it the adapter is doing the biggest job, like checking the sent checksum from the OBDII interface ;)

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

Sure this could maybe not be the right place for asking that, but which output did you get when connecting the ELM327 device via serial connection?
Need the information to make my modules compatible to other devices.

Here is how to connect to your device using hcitool and python using pybluez:
1. Find out which bluetooth address your adapter has
2. Launch the python console
3. import the pybluez modules
3. create a bluetooth rfcomm socket
4. get the message from the socket
5. close the connection
I expect something like: "\r\rELM327 v1.4\r\r>"
Can you confirm this?

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

thanks for your effort.

I have a Volvo S40 1.6 (2006 model)
and a hyundai i10 (2010 model)

PS carman works great with those cars

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

so thanks man! i´d aprecciate if you add for Peugeot 307!!

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

any download links? i want to try it :)

Re: DontGo - OBD Diagnostics on N900
 

I'm not too familiar with all the inner workings but the bottom line is that OBDII is incompatible with OBD and vice versa :). its somewhat a shame because it means that for car enthusiasts who have to much smaller sized budgets have to get appropriate and different equipment to suit what matters on hand.

For now I guess I don't have much of a choice but to use whatever software that is fully compatible with OBD and it only works under windows called efilive.
