OBD2 is standardized at least somewhat. OBD1 was all proprietary.
I had mini dash looking very similar before I realized that the Palm platform didn't have the power for those kind of graphics...

I gotta say a wireless, hand-held programmer would make it very difficult for me to resist replacing my flip phone!

I'm DL'ing the Android SDK now. I'm going to see what it would take to port MiniDash over to Android.
Anyone have a good reference for learning Java?
I have an old dietel and dietel java book that I used for one of my college classes. I can try and dig it up if you want it.Originally Posted by ShelGame
has anybody tried rooting the droid x yet? if so what OS version was it running? those video clips rob posted are amazing.
You have a Droid now, too? I got an HTC Aria a few weeks ago. AT&T locked it out of sideloading, but I'm sure someone will hack around that eventually.
I DL'd the SDK and IDE for Android, but haven't had time to really play with it yet...
Apps are in Java but many have native parts too. You need the NDK for that. Some hardware supports USB host mode, opening the door for USB-to-serial conversion. There are endless options, but many narrow the scope of what hardware the software will support. The company I work for pretty much just makes Android phones now.
Sweet! An insider!
So, some phones actually support USB host-mode? I thought for sure they were all slave-mode only. I had planned to use BT communications primarily. If the phone supports USB Host, then I suppose we could even consider flashing the ECU form the phone...
WOW - that would be amazing!!
This keeps getting sweeter and sweeter!! You guys are definitely going to make me buy a new phone!
Now, if you could adapt a wireless transceiver, attach it to the SBEC and then flash wirelessly.... That would be damn near the ultimate!

I don't see why wireless flashing wouldn't actually be easier. The only catch is, the SMEC would still need wires added to the 60-way, and you will need a 'box' on the SCI connector to control everything. I'm actually working on such a box. It's my next electronics project after the flashable computers are up and running...This keeps getting sweeter and sweeter!! You guys are definitely going to make me buy a new phone!

The vast majority support USB On-The-Go (OTG), which allow some limited USB host support. It is not often used, but will be more and more (expect to see some interesting applications). How functional the drivers are will depend on the specific platform and how well it was tested. Look for things like USB printing support.
so for you electrical wizards -
anybody know of a ttl to bluetooth converter that could invert the signals as needed to work with the smec diagnostic port? or would there need to be an intermediate adapter board to first invert the signals before running into the bluetooth thingamajig? or don't you need to invert the signals?
how about the ostrich? at one time there was discussion that the bluetooth ran down the ostrich battery? could the bluetooth for the ostrich be powered independently?
I have a droid x and an interface to hook up the phone to a computer would be awesome. Screw the iPhone.

As soon as this comes back in stock, I'm going to get one to play with...

I think the limitations Apple places on apps would make it near impossible. The only way to distribute iPhone apps is thru the store. At least on Android, you can sideload apps. You don't HAVE to go thru the marketplace...

Sadly that's what it boils down to. Sorry, I'll take a device that I actually have some control over. iTunes my as$, what a crock.

What the hell folks?! I'm gone for months and nothing doing about a MP Tuner on Android?!I got my phone rooted so I'm ready to go!
