Did you see the post by systemcrash. There is no extra command in his log and its successful.

Since I get CAN error, shall I assume that my ELM327 is faulty?

Changed 'ATST 19' to 'ATST 00' (use default OBD/ELM timeout)
Changed 'ATAT2' to 'ATAT1' (default auto timeout algorithm)
Added 'ATSS' (use recommended OBD search sequence)
Added 'ATSP0' (search for OBD interface type)

Although this hasn't made any difference for me it may resolve your CAN_ERROR problem because I tell the ELM327 to use the recommended search sequence (ATSS) and to always search for OBD (ATSP0) I've sent you a pm if you want to try it out. If it stil doesn't help then I can add code to libobd to specify each OBD method individually... I already plan to make it try to connect a few times before giving up to see if that helps.

I really appreciate your help and devotion to work and I also admire the work of Jlu to point us in right direction....

Awsome.....

your files worked like a magic. I could not believe on my eye....I was like this

On very first attempt it work.


I cant tell you how thankful I am to both of you for your help.
Sophie e-mail this to developers and ask them to add it to original application.

Again thanks to all of you and especially my heros Jlu and Sophie.

Yes, but it's a PITA.

My method:
1) On a PC, go to here.
2) Go into the two carman-theme-?? folders and download the .deb files to your PC.
3) Rename both .deb files to .tar.gz files.
4) Use 7-zip to open the files and keep going through the folder tree until you get to the ones in the themes folder - drag these onto your desktop (or wherever).
5) You should now have two folders, one called eclipse and one called offroad.

6) At this point methods vary, but you need to get the folders into \usr\share\carman\themes on your n900.

7) I copied the folders via usb onto MyDocs, then "sudo gainroot"ed, created the requisite folders in the \usr\share\carman\themes folder, and copied the contents of the two folders into there.
