MPScanDroid

I wonder how much drugs come with this cable? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-B-...EAAOxy66pRqe0p
but seriously, just catching up on this and was looking for an adapter so i can mess around with this sooner or later. I've got the mpscandroid program installed on my asus tablet and it installed successfully. opened it up and it seems to work but need a cable to test it out. Just wondering if this is working or still a work in progress?

thinking about getting this tablet http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...2FD455YECC79QF

would this work with mpscan droid? i need a tablet at the track cause they will not let me race with my laptop not mounted to the car and I am having issues with it not connecting so would like to try the andriod software, thanks for any help

It should work. I have been using MPScan Droid with my ASUS Transformer Pad since Wowzer first put it out without any issues. At least if you get it through Amazon you can return it if it don't wok

At least it's only $1.99 for shipping!

I can't get MPScanDroid to work on my Nexus 5 running Marshmallow. It rarely will connect, and when it does, I get no communication. The Windows version works fine on my laptop on the same car. I should try a different device, I guess. I have a half dozen Android phones and tablets laying around running versions back to Gingerbread.

the current version of mpscandroid is going to be obsolete in a few weeks. it never really was very stable based on the way the android os works in conjuction with the ftdi cable latency. as a result i am not putting any time into fixing bugs or adding features. sorry.

all my efforts now are for the mpscilnk device.

i see so i guess i will cancel that order and start looking for a windows based tablet that can run mpscan thanks for the heads up

[wowzer]

don't do that!! what i meant was that i will be redoing the current version of mpscandroid to run using the mpscilnk device via bluetooth vs the current version that uses the ftdi cable. after i get the new version written and i get some free time i may go back and see if i can tweak the ftdi version to be more stable.

Was going to see if i can get this working for me to have a backup means of logging.
AFRwb doesn't seem to be listed in the ram locations?
Any chance that can be updated simply?
Should this work otherwise?

Thanks!

Somewhere in the setup post it said you can import your .mpc file from MPScan, but i got failures when trying to do this.
I was trying this to get the AFRwb gauge to log. The AFR ratio that is there looks like a calculated value.

[wheming]

I don't believe it! I think i figured it out on my own!
I found the mprsettings spreadsheet didn't have all the items that were in the windows version. Updated all the files from the Misc tab, and added the AFRwb gauge! Will have to try on the way into work.

[wowzer]

do NOT use the AFR gauge (AFRCMD?) that "calculates" the commanded afr. that will not work in the droid version. actually, it never really worked well in the windows version. you probably can use the afr gauge that uses the wideband signal in lieu of the regular narrow band.

originally, the .mpc files could be copied from the windows version to the correct directory on your android phone. it would then load them ok. however, i have added LOTS of new stuff to the windows version that are NOT supported in the old Android FTDI version. assuming you can get the android ftdi version working on your phone, i would only create a gauge layout from scratch using the android version. good luck. i really wouldn't spend a whole bunch of time trying to get the original android version working. :-)

[wheming]

Yes, when i was trying to get it set up there was only one AFR gauge. I found i had the original files from when first downloaded. I was going to try to add the ram location for the AFRwb, but then tried updating everything in yhe Misc options and it worked.

Here is the log i got using MPScandroid on the way to work. I forgot to add VSS gauge, but have now. Somewhere around the 6500 sample is a 1st gear WOT blast on low boost. Knock voltages are showing more results than my windows version (maybe it is from failed samples?)

This seems to work good Morris! You shouldn't have downplayed it so much. I like it. Hopefully no more fussing with a 14yo laptop at the track with only 1hr of battery life!

Check out the log file, and the eculog text file. Says failed to set to high baud rate. Anything i can do for that?

I wish i would have tried this more earlier when you had time to support it. I really think there is still alot of benefit for it!

[wowzer]

wayne - i promise i'll come back to the ftdi setup after the mpscilink stuff is done. it would be a nice alternative to those not wanting to spend the money for the mpscilink device and are ok with giving up bluetooth access and the ability to log analog ports. with what i've learned in developing the new version i should be able to better stabilize the ftdi version.

[wheming]

I wish i knew how to do any of that programming or developing to help. But i could give some use feedback and some little tweaks that would be value added.
The log i took today looks like it worked well! I need to transfer and pull up the .csv to view.
The playback would be nice to pause or skip to sample #.

[wheming]

Is there a way to convert .mpl files to .csv outside of MPScan vWindows?

And thank you Morris for all your continued help and support with these projects. This is really great having these tools available to us.

[wowzer]

the only "hack" you could do is open the mpl file in a text editor and copy the data section to a new text document then import it into excel.

[wheming]

I'm not in the best mood right now. Trying to do some late tuning since i was re-tasked other stuff all day, and that a story all by itself...
Anyway got a log using the droid version and made an tweak and went to log the return trip....
Well i unplugged the cable with the droid version running (but not actively logging) to plug the cable to the laptop to flash the smec.
On reconnecting to the phone, it would always say usb disconnected. I tried force closing the program, still no reconnect. Tried unplugging and replugging, no connect. Tried uplugging, restarting phone, replug, still nothing.
Finally i thought i'll just have to uninstall the .apk and reinstall.
Went to connect and no profiles, need to create a layout! Ugh! I lost everything.
These data files need to get backed up. So i just f'd myself.

I did send the 2 droid version log files to my laptop, so at least i have that. But i had the layout file, and about 1/2 dozen logs, and the two i just took tonight as the point of the roadtest. I was getting a couple timing retards and wanted to look at those closer.
Ugh. I'm so mad i could punch a monk seal.

here's a screenshot that may be of interest to some members....

Not sure if this is the problem. I put in a request to view it.
