This will be the main thread i'm going to use for the version of mpscan for android called mpscandroid.
here is the link to download MPScandroid. Subsequent updates will typically be done automatically via the program's auto update feature.
MPScandroid
some phones will not download an apk file directly. so i renamed the file to MPScandroid.apkext. after you download it you need to rename it back to MPScandroid.apk. then you should be able to install it and subsequent auto updates should work (you may need to give the autoupdater permission).
latest version: 2.0.1.9 (as of 7/25/2020)
This is the newest version of mpscandroid that supports the new mpscilink device via bluetooth. (usb access is no longer supported). additionally, it supports reading/flashing/editing a binary file via the mpscilink device.
once installed please update all the csv layout files under the miscellaneous menu.
the first thing you need to do is create a "layout" file. basically add a gauge and select the ram location. generally it is very similar to the way you do it in the windows version. in fact, the .mpc files can be interchanged between the windows version and android version if you prefer to do it that way. once you add a gauge you can touch the gauge which will give you additional options such as sizing, moving, display changes, etc. the layout can be bigger than the screen display and can be scrolled by touching an unused portion of the screen and dragging it.
next you need to create a vehicle profile. all this does is create a link between the layout file you just created with a unique name. you also specify what type of ecu this profile is for. so if your layout is simple enough (i.e. uses ram locations that are common in multiple ecu types) you could create multiple profiles with the same layout file and just select different ecu types. quick and easy.
once the vehicle profile is setup you are ready to log. once you get into the logging screen select the profile you want to use. then you need to connect to the ecu by pressing the ECU button. it should turn green once connected. the just press the logging button right next to it to start logging. when done press the logging stop button and disconnect from the ecu. before exiting the screen make sure you save the log so you can play it back later. log files are saved with the name format of year_month_day_hour_minute_second.mpl.
once you save a log file you can play it back. additionally you can copy it to your pc and play it back using the windows version.
