Man, I want to get involved and help with this but I’m swamped with work right now. I used to work for Bose doing software for their headphones. A lot of it was stabbing in the dark because it was difficult to get the engineers to ever explain how anything was actually supposed to work. This is great progress!!!
Great stuff Sir. Going to try the app on my Caterpillar. Have any insights into Cat’s data? Techs have said they routinely use OBT2 scanners to read live data when they don’t have a Cat ET laptop with them.
Hey thanks for commenting. The software may not support heavy equipment protocol (which a lot of scanners do). Thanks for checking that out. I'd be curious to know whether it actually worked for you.
Very nice app. I also am interested to see your results with ABS and SRS modules. The European vehicles are difficult to interface with, due to differing pinouts on the OBD2 connector. I am subscribing and I will keep checking back for updates.
Hmmm. It's an android app - so it's a flavor of Linux. I'm afraid to say, "no." But, maybe I have to. I do use Ubuntu to sniff the CAN (which sounds pretty bad). Thanks!
Hello I’m a tech and I’m really interested in your software, however I only own Mac OS devices. I would love to try out your app, is it possible to work on mac?
Thank you. I'm sorry, I need to get to that. I don't have anything for you right now. The app is definitely not 'Top Shelf'... so, you aren't missing much. But, that is on my todo list. Thanks for watching!
gmtd scan tool, is software i use for obd 1 1995 chevy k3500 6.5 diesel. can shut off cylinders and change trans gears. only uses a obd1 cable to usb. why even need a dongle? seems like the elm 327 chip is the bottle neck so just use a laptop instead
This app only discovers generic OBDII pids. I'm familiar with what you ask because I have scanner that does just what you ask. While you can enter custom pids, the app is still limited to the generic list. But, I'm working on it! And, btw, the equations are not given by the system. They are simply just predefined, specified, by the manufacturer. Thanks...
have you seen this thread? what you're trying to write an app to do, I believe the app side has already been done. torque app will send all the commands and tons of pids have been found. the extended ones. like I can read hybrid battery voltage. the bi part is in the header that you send. mode 1, 2 and so on. the hard part is sniffing out the pid location to add to the app. that seems to be done by using a splitter on the obd2 port, running a terminal app and watching the data steam while you do stuff either things in the car like gear shift, or on the other scanner. like a tech 2 hooked up. I already have a tech 2. none of this about spending the money for me. I'm just dying to find the pids so I can add them to the phone app for easy viewing and daily use. not really repairing stuff. like say you want the air bag psi of your self leveling suspension when you're towing. to make sure your tongue weight isn't blowing out the bags. it's all there in the tech 2. just can't get the data out of it yet. need to record the commands. gmtnation.com/forums/threads/more-pids-for-torque-app.20176/

Shooting at the moon! Any chance you have the option for Linux?

Can i use this app to find pids? Like the trans temp and could give me the whole equation? Having trouble finding custom pids for my car
