Unfortunately, until I get my custom boards going, a obdlink mx wifi unit is what I now have and hoping to provide support forantus wrote:Theres some info and a fix for wifi lag issues on some adaptors here http://forscan.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16 . All in all probably not worth the hassle supporting them though. I can imagine how many different ones must be out there. Sounds like a support nightmare.
Im not going to provide ELM WIFI support just yet, only support for the oblink until I develop a read/write routine that Im confident will work, and at least error report correctly to a console view.
Theres also a OBDLink MX Bluetooth (which I wish I did get currently), and that would use the standard serial communication. That might be on the next purchase. Until then, its WIFI ahoy!
I did find an interesting quirk though, when connected to my home WIFI, the MX didnt appear in my "available connections", but as soon as I disconnected from the home wifi, it popped up immediately! Very weird!
Great to heard it worked happily with an OBDLink SX!beerman wrote:My old serial Elmscan 5 and USB adapter wasn’t cutting it so I bought an OBDLink SX interface. Today I finally had a chance to plug it into the GTO and it worked like a charm. The seed/key seemed to work flawlessly. It would be nice to be able to change the gauge style once it has been created, and maybe the ability to resize the gauges. I did notice the active area in which the gauges exist seems a little off, you could hide the gauge behind the menu. All in all it seems really nice great job Tazzi.
Cheers beerman. Yes, the gauges fix is on the "to-do" list. I did put in barriers to prevent the gauges from going out of bounds but I must of messed something up. They are also a little "quirky" with how they get grabbed and moved.
Its my first real attempt in making custom GUI so it will need to be reworked and refined for a easier display. The "resizing" will definitely need a major redoing since that affects how to move the gauges too!
There are some commercial products available for custom GUI including gauges/rev bars ect which would be a much more suitable option. Just a tad on the pricey side!
