I'm in contact with the Carman developers and hopefully my modifications will be available to everone shortly . I'm still trying to get my own car to connect reliably which may take me a few more days though...

Just another one of those things, thanks for thinking about it anyway

Have you seen forum.ecuproject.com (which isn't just for Saab owners either...)

Hi makkan00

Sorry for teasing you about having a Diesel car We have a TV program in the UK called 'Top Gear' in which one of the presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, often refers to Diesel as 'the devil's fuel' .

If you don't get readings for Air Pressure (the dial next to the temperature dial) and your load is always 100% then maybe something is wrong, but I'm just guessing as I'm not sure what the load value is exactly. It seems to be a percentage of boost pressure or rather maximum boost pressure. I think James Littler explained something about this in the Carman topic http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=207 and it seems that the load value is a percentage of actual boost or air going into the engine compaired to the maximum amount that could be going in. I have noticed that for my car:
Not moving pressure: 45 kPa load 22%
Driving normally pressure varies between: 50-90 kPa, load 25-40%
Going uphill pressure can go up to 130-150 kPa, load 55-70%
Going down a steep hill pressure 22 kPa load 11%
Accelerating pressure up to 217 kPa, load up to 100% (Max boost is 1.15 Bar in my ECU)

Well done Sophie. Tried your new patch and it also worked on very first attempt. Brilliant and best of luck for your furture patches developement. You can keep me as your beta tester

Enjoy your weekend.

S/He hasn't posted any more and seems to have given up... However, Carman produces very detailed log files - maybe looking through those might shed some light, they are located in your home directory (you can see a list of them by starting 'xterm' and then typing 'ls') and have names like 'carmand_logYYMMDD_HHMMSS.txt' (YYMMDD and HHMMSS are date and time when the log file was created).


Thanks again jlu , I'll take a look.

Hi!
I abandoned this, but I've just ordered a new Bluetooth OBD dongle, and I'm waiting for it...
I saw those log files, but don't know how to reed them...
And as I had uninstall Carman after those tries, I'm unable today to re-install it...
Hope I'll can help... if it work...

Enjoy your weekend.
That's great, hopefully the original Carman developer will be able to test it soon and put it into the repositories I've also done a few things with the themes - I have made 'deb' files for the additional Eclipse and Off-Road themes and also 'optified' them so that they don't take up as much space. I find the scale values a bit strange for the dials though, e.g. the speed dial range is 240 km/h or 120 mph, I have changed this to 260 km/h or 160 mph because that seems slightly better since they are now about equal. I'm not sure about the other dials though, e.g. temperature in the Tuning theme the range is 50 to 130 C, but in Eclipse and Offroad it is 30 to 150 C. What do people think would be sensible for the temperature range (150 C sounds too high since water boils at 100 C) I've changed the boost gauge to read upt to 255 kPa (since that is the maximum for my boost sensor). Any suggestions welcome - I suppose the ideal is to make them configurable, but that might take a while

What problems did you have when you tried to reinstall Carman?

I'll try to contribute but i don't know how to set up web pages...

Lastly, I was able to get the ScanTool.net program working on my N900 this morning - see this topic for details if you're interested (and can help ):

I am happy to step in and be another beta tester if one is required. I have a bluetooth ODB dongle which worked quite happily with carman on my N800 and N810. I did have it running on my N900 unreliably for a short while.

I would like to see carman back up and running again.

I couldn't install it, with apt-get install carman, stoped many times at "looking for headers": it was a network pb, I think, due to security at work...
I install it at home, work fine on launch (no OBD2 try yet), but now I have some problems: cpu at 50%, and when I try to remove it ("apt-get remove carman" ?), carman icon still in apps... and cpu at 15%, instead of 5 to 8%...
Still searching...
Edit: apt-get remove --purge carman, then apt-get autoremove, eveything back to usual.
I'll try again when I'll receive my new OBD2 dongle...

i had trouble installing too.
It kept saying broken packages when i tried apt-get and when i tried fast appman. I enabled the extras and dev on the org app installer and carman installed fine.
It's worth a try

Thanks for this, it's brilliant! Of course i don't have an OBDII dongle yet, so it's not of much use, but it worked straight away, after editing the config file in leafpad for the gps.

I'm curious about the "configure obd2" option. Does it allow for extra gauges or simply setting up? I'm mostly interested in fuel economy data (which, iirc, is a part of the obd2 code set?). Most of the other gauges are kinda redundant.
