ok this is going to sound stupid but i tried to do this with my dell streak 7 and i can get S**t to work is there a soft ware you need to download or some thing i need. help me what do i need to do please help.
|
What exactly is it you tried to do? There are numerous aspects to this project, none of which up to this point have required custom code on the Streak -- however I will be doing some custom service work for the bluetooth stack shortly... just waiting on getting my 8 back from a turbo rebuild.
|
ok then how do you get the fuel and all of that to show up on your dell streak 7?
|
An ELM bluetooth adapter and any number of Android OBD2 apps. I believe I'm using Dashcommand in the screenshots.
Something like this should work fine: |
Finally gutted the old PC, all wiring, and the car2pc adapter today.
the grom aux/Bluetooth adapter is installed and paired. 5v power from my carnetix p2140 is done too. Now I've just got to put everything back together. |
Time moves fast. Ice Cream Sandwich is now on your heels. :)

I may even go back to gingerbread at some point. |
I've started development on my Car Home activity. Wrapped up music and bluetooth remote control tonight.
Some things I plan to add:

Very cool. Looking forward to further news about this.
Great song selection too :D: Wish there was a way to find that mount for a sane price though... |

I stumbled upon an Android open source OBD2 library yesterday and couldn't resist the urge to integrate it into my "RX-8 Home" app. After a little bit of trial and error I'm reading all of the basic OBD2 PIDs and have pulled in the ones I'm most interested in.
Over the next couple days I'll skin some cool gauges and integrated them in place of the current TextViews. The library is called libvoyager and can be found here: https://github.com/gtosoft/libvoyager I couldn't get any of the sibling sample projects to work unmodified, but after a little finesse I had my own utility class built that is working flawlessly. Here's the code: Code:
package com.shellware.CarHome; Code:
@Override Code:
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1)).setText("OBD Voltage: " + String.valueOf(obd.getVoltage()) + "v"); It is a FULL OBD/CAN implementation library. I can read and clear CELs, add Mazda specific PIDs, you name it. |

From the start of this project I'd been wanting to do some things that utilized Location Services and the cameras.
Using an SMS receiver RX-8 Home intercepts inbound SMS text messages and looks for specific keywords from a phone # white list. When it receives a "Where are you?" text message it responds with a URL to Google Maps including its current GPS coordinates. https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1334386179 https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1334386478 The app also waits for a "What do you see?" text message and responds with two MMS messages containing snapshots from the front and back cameras. |
Great stuff :rock:
Now... does anyone have this mount for sale? :D: |

You could always get the metra kit and the parrot asteroid.

Eh... I like your tablet solution but not that parrot thingy.

Skinned some gauges and wired up their needles. Still not 100% with the AFR gauge. I'm looking for a better template.
|
Looks awesome, I've been running the appradio set up for a while...wish pioneer would release some an app like Carhome hah
|
Awesome as usual Shell. Any real downside to this project yet?
|
Downside... hmm...
There's a bug with the Grom AUX / Bluetooth adapter that once you cycle past track 99 A2DP integration fails until you either cycle the bluetooth connection or press Prior Track enough times to get back in the 50-99 track range. I coded a work-around that recycles the bluetooth connection automatically every "net" 40 forward track presses as it cycles from one track to the next and have reached out to Grom to see if they can patch their firmware. Reaching the Honeycomb lower action bar can be a pain at times since the tablet is recessed a bit into the JDM mount. It's not undo-able, just a little tricky while driving. I've built a work-around for this that I haven't shown in the thread yet that uses a Gallery type marquee and double tap steering wheel controls for basic Android navigation. These are really trivial issues given what I'm getting back from all of this. And I fully anticipate resolution of both as I invest a little more time into the interface overall. I'm currently in the process of tracking down some of the more advanced (and secretive) Mazda PIDs for things like TPMS, FOBs, etc. I know the CANBUS got a huge overall with the SIIs and there might be things I could do on an SII (such as controlling CD text, etc) that are not available to me on the S1... similar to what you see paimon.soror doing in his RxDuino: Development Chat thread. |
Im a big Android fan and was thinking of a car PC myself for some time now... but this is just simply awesome. Subbed.

More gauges.... more cleanup up of the UI required... It's not flowing well enough for me yet.
I also finished up DTC detection and DTC Reset tonight (didn't have any stored codes ... otherwise they would've been listed)... Here's what my "steering control double tap" scrollable menu looks like (pulled it off the emulator -- all other shots are from my Streak. |
