Everytime I data log, I'm always looking at the dash on the computer screen and thinking, how cool it would be to have a color screen in the dash of the vehicle displaying this data all the time. I wonder if one could use some type of a smaller tablet to run a program that could connect to the ecm and display data. I suppose the only thing would be finding some way to connect it to the tablet, then making a program to connect to, and then display the data.

I don't know how much info a guy I know wants let out, but there is a program that is in development right now that will run on Android devices, and uses Tuner Pro files. ;)Originally Posted by JeepsAndGuns

Has to be on the Android backwards so when you set it on dashboard it reflects onto windshield!

Already part of the app. ;)
I'll send him a message and see if he wants any details released yet.

so far i have 3 developers (which is as many as i want)
i'll do a 'display module' which is total knockoff of datamaster in gtk eventually, and hopefully this will be useable as a decent OBD-I datalogger for xwindows
an android one sounds awesome too, guess it'll just use a bluetooth SPP or something
i guess what it comes down to for me, is reeeeally just want to use this raspberry pi for something, unfortunately there are no stable android builds for it, and im way too lazy to dig into that kind of project
for some reason i was completely ignoring the fact that the pi has a fully functional gpio header
if i can make this thing read aldl data fairly reliably, and i build an output module with some basic scripting language built in, this little thing could function as a piggyback ECM to do practically anything, whether you decide to attach a screen to it or not.
could easily do things like:
- control a waste gate (turns it straight into a boost controller)
- get direct sensor inputs if for some reason the aldl isn't fast enough for a particular function (such as the above)
- 3d table of map/rpm/speed to automatically pop open an exhaust cutout
- shift lights, blinky lights, automatic james bond smoke screen, whatever
i guess at this point, scope creep will kill it, or it'll be really awesome.
