Have you already pushed 0.31c to the queue? If not, could you please change gpsdata.c line 507 to make the LUX and Temperature information look a little bit more like NMEA statements? Perhaps even two lines, one for light and one for the temperature sensor? This would make my log file parser easier

By the way, you named your OBD trace lines "$PDxyz". Are those names standartized or your own invention?

Thanks

0.31c isn't out yet. I'll see if I can get it to zdez shortly.

I'll try to split the temp/light when I do that.

http://www.gpsinformation.org/dale/nmea.htm gives the rules for proprietary sentences (which I'm breaking). Technically it should be Pxxxyyy where the three letters for xxx never varies(GRM for garmin, NOK for nokia), and yyy is the item and can be a length I choose and the format of following data is up to me .

OBD data is not NMEAized right now, but it is on my todo list. You would get the individual bytes, e.g. something like 65535l( 41 0C 12 34 ) in the log as an XML comment. When I NMEAize them, they will be something like Harley, or might be PDOxy where xy is the hexadecimal PID for those that aren't easily decoded. But RPM and speed will follow what I'm doing for my Harley.

I might try NMEAizing the OBD too.

0.31c is up on http://www.zdez.org if you want to try. I haven't fully tested it, but I've tried to NMEAize the OBD and sensors ($PDSNS,<lux>,<temp>*ck)

I am still having trouble installing. My problem is that i have bluz-utils*osso6
instead of bluez-utils*osso4 How can i fix.

Do you have an error message? If you've done the SSU, and bluez-utils-test-3.28osso6, everything should work. That version of bluez-utils-test is in extras-devel as well as the main repository pool

Hi,

I just installed and used 0.31c. I'll check the NMEAzition of the OBD and sensors later tonight when I'm at home and have access to the data files on my table again ( typing this at work )

I still see only the white dot on the lower left but since GPS works, I guess this isn't really important ;-)

If I stop minigpsd and start miniobd from the command line, I see the following output:

this just sits there untill I press CTRL-C, the I see

Predictably, obd2dash.py just shows two gauges, but no movement or values.

I don't have any other programm using the BT connection, and after stopping miniobd2, carman shows my OBD values just fine.

I'll install strace later tonight, perhaps this sheds more light on my problem

is the 00:18:E4... the correct address for the OBD interface?

You've set the OBD bt address, checked OBD on, Harley is unchecked?

Is there any way you can use a terminal to type commands?

(ATZ, ATSP0, ATE1, ATH0, 00 each as a separate command)?

I have a real elm327 but there are clones that don't always play by the same rules.

miniobd2d will just "sit there" even if everything is working since the other programs will interpret the data from files or connections.

Are you running carman at the same time? That won't work.

Yes, that is also the adress found if I run a new "Bluetooth scan". I have this device in my "Bluetooth devices" list of the BT applet, and marked it as a "Trusted device", too.

On the "Bluetooth Scan and Set" page, the OBD BT Addr is set up correctly, but on my "Advanced GPS setup" page, there is no "Harley" box. I still have checkboxes called "OBD" (checked), "On" (checked) and "V1" (*un*checked). OBD listens on /dev/rfcomm1.

Then again, reading mgsetuplib.py, I just noticed that there is a checkbox called "HD". Is this the "Harley" you were talking about? If so, maybe you should put a space between the "HD" and the "Device" labels, it looks like just one word now. I'll try to get a screenshot later tonight.

Will starting miniobd2 from the xterm and type those commands work? If not, then I'll have to search for a terminal program that can connect to a bluetooth device connection... I assume that are the commands that are sent in the startup() function of minigobd2d.c ?

To be honest, I was looking for error messages while running miniobd2d from the command line.

No, no carman running. You mentioned earlier that miniobd2 and carman can't share the BT connection, so I don't even try

Uncheck "On". I need to tweak the UI to make it clear that

OBD X On X HD means OBD (X On ) ( X HD )

HD=HarleyDavidson.

0.31d is up on http://www.zdez.org if you want to try. V1 nemaized, and fixed an annoying bug that would leave blank btconnect tasks running (eating cpu).
