mode 3 is working.

I have to figure out what these codes mean, I have not yet decoded them on webtech yet, but I disconnected my MAF, TPS and IAC and this is what my program sees after turning on the check engine light and decoding the binary output per OBD standards.
<div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>[false, false, false, false, false, false, false, false]P0102 P0000 P0000
[true, false, true, false, true, false, false, false]P0102 P1513 P1553</div>
I have a feeling I can trust the output. I'm betting that the P1513 codes relate to the idle air controller and the P102 is the MAF or TPS.

 

i can create a design in something like visual C++ or photoshop but to be honest i need to know some specifics, or atleast communicate better on what variables you would want things to be called and such.

ex.

speedogauge max and min variables do you just want me to make stuff up and we will work later on making it function or what?


p.s. i know java and javascript are different languages, but i was letting you know my background to let you know im not just someone sitting behind a computer saying they can do something.

 

How about having a flexible frontend GUI, which would be separate from the backend, and create different, interchangeable, configurable backends that can communicate with all sorts of standalones and piggybacks not just OBD-II. i.e. AEM FIC, Megasquirt, Greddy eManage, etc. Their protocols may be proprietary and unavailable to the public, so that would be the biggest issue.

For the frontend, I suggest using c++/opengl and creating customizable gauges, sensors, shift lights, etc. Swing doesn't make a good looking product.

For IPC, Named Pipes or Sockets would be good.

A full blown OS for this job sounds over-the-top, unless all this could be accomplished.

 

^^I've heard the same thing about swing. I don't know about that. It seems that they are doing some great things recently

They've revamped the swing UI for windows 7, and I'm sure they've done some things for Linux as well. It's too easy not to use.

These are only a few supported variables of my program. Each of those values are populated with the proper values. The GUI is to be updated upon request from the program. The Gauges need to be vectored on a scale of 1 to 1000 and have adjustable ticks. The actual inputs are not important, but can be set at runtime

 

Also, a full-blown OS is the best way to go for this. It allows full control over the environment under linux.

Skinning the controls in the UI should be easy enough with mouseover/click events for picture displays.

There are other reasons for making a distribution... use of other software in a controlled environment for example.

 

I thought I would share my current progress. The adminsitrative panel is working. I still have to add a "search" for codes option where you can specify some parameters to search for and let it run. I'm working on converting all of my variables over to tables. The Table will allow the user to click on a value and have a gauge displayed. The gauge will be customizable, re-positionable and allow multiple instances. It's still nowhere near done, but I thought this might be interesting for some.

 

This is pretty cool and seems to be coming along nicely. Good work DTN. smile.gif

 

This is a small video of the obd2ner admin console

I hope it is clear enough to see anything.

It outputs alot of data in a very organized format. Now my task is to give the UI a more homely/high tech feel and keep the user from having to type anything manually.

 

sorry, that last video came out trash.
This is a bit less trashed.
