Re: iPhone app
Thanks a lot for the effort, I'm waiting for the ms2 extra version to try it out but will try the demo mode om that one to see how it looks
Keep up the good work!

Re: iPhone app
there is now a serial cable available for iphone,ipad and touch.. the one I have in front of me says Redpark C2-DB9 can't recall where I bought it, but found it when i was playing with some arduino based stuff last year (one of these days i'll get back to that - data acquisition system )

We have looked at it in the past and there are two problems with that cable...
The first (and the reason the cable isn't supported by my app) is that it can't be used with any app on the app store because it relies on "backdoor hacks" within it's API software to access the iPhones serial connection. Any app that incorporates the API will get rejected due to the use of "undocumented api calls" - basically hacking into bits of the OS not designed to be used by apps. This makes the cable only of use if you write your own personal use iPhone app for it or you rely on people jailbreaking their phone. If it was the cable itself that wasn't approved I'd have added support but the "hacks" in the API make that impossible unfortunately.
The second is that it is limited to 57600 baud as a maximum data rate because it's using the existing iPhone serial connection available on the dock connector. As a result it can't be used with any version of MS beyond MS1.
You can pick up a suitable RS232 to WiFi adaptor that has none of those problems for $79, IMV, it leaves the Redpark cable dead in the water.

Re: iPhone app
Love that this app is becoming a reality
Can't wait to get it for my MS3.
BTW, is it possible to use BOTH RS232 (with wifi adapter) and USB connection to PC at the same time?

Re: iPhone app
Can mobisquirt use the iphones accellerometers populate XForce and YForce accordingly?
Assuming the iphone is stationary in the car?
For connecting the Laptop Wirelessly..
If you use trueport from http://www.perle.com/downloads/truePort.shtml you can
use tunerstudioms over the wifi.. This was not working at first but changing a few items in the config..
ie connection mode to "lite mode" from automatic, and change the connection profile to be "Optimize Network Throughput".
the yellow light on the wifly will blink very fast while connected to the ms. it does not drop sync at all,

Re: iPhone app
Yes, although it's turned off in the current version for reasons i can't remember. It was working in the early test versions !wildman wrote:Can mobisquirt use the iphones accellerometers populate XForce and YForce accordingly?

I think I turned it off while I tried to find a formula to convert the acceleration XYZ into G force values and it got left on the "todo" list.
Also on the "todo" list are the addition of lat/long and possibly speed. That would also allow a google maps overlay of route versus data which I thought would be quite cool when playing back log files but I'm trying to concentrate on basics at the moment as I get too easily distracted with "cool" stuff sometimes

Re: iPhone app
Nice app. Has potential but limited value due to screen size. iPad app is when it will become a killer app for users IMO.

Any progress on this app. Seems kinda quiet on the Mobisquirt forum.

Re: iPhone app
Yes, i really should put an update on the MobiSquirt blog !
The next test version will be going out as a release candidate soon and assuming no major problems are found by the testers it should be on the app store by the end of March.
Other than a few bug fixes the main changes from the current release version are that it's now a "universal" app running iPad and Iphone/iPod in the same app. It will also run in any orientation on the iPad.
Support for MS2-Extra should also be completed.

Re: iPhone app
Not sure about MS3 as I haven't really looked at it. The aim is that it will support all versions, just might take a while to get there !

Re: iPhone app
Will it be possible to add Bluetooth as a option OF connection? Then it will be possible to stay connected to the Internet when connected to the ecu..

Re: iPhone app
Not as things currently stand, although iOS devices support Bluetooth you can only connect to certain types of devices and none of the current serial to bluetooth adaptors will work with them. It's a shame as Bluetooth to serial adaptors are generally cheaper than the WiFi ones.eMTea wrote:Will it be possible to add Bluetooth as a option OF connection?

Re: iPhone app
Sorry for all the noise in your thread, but I wonder if the Wifi module is possible to connect to a high output antenna? For monitoring car on drag strip or small tracks?

Re: iPhone app
The WiFi unit has provision for an external antenna so that part shouldn't be a problem. Bear in mind that it's two way though so distance wouldn't be hugely increased because the iOS device still needs to be able to transmit to it.eMTea wrote:Sorry for all the noise in your thread, but I wonder if the Wifi module is possible to connect to a high output antenna?

I am really impressed with the App, I can't wait to see how progresses.
Do you have plans to add horsepower and fuel economy gages to this app?

Re: iPhone app
Some of the early test versions recorded acceleration and it has always been the intention to reinstate that and other GPS functions. That is likely to happen in the next version or so, I've been holding off slightly because one of the uses for the gps will be the potential to overlay a log file over a map. With the changes coming in iOS 6 I didn't want to add that in until the dust has settled on the new Apple mapping.
Anyway, once the GPS logging is added it will allow a number of new gauges to be added including instantaneous and average fuel consumption. Horse power and acceleration force gauges should also be feasible.
