msdroid always reading signature

Post by turbotankshane »

I'm using a android 5.0 lollipop tablet, efianalytics bluetooth adapter. I've got successful pairing with the adapter, and I got msdroid to read the signature once and only once, and it told me it couldn't find my ecu definition on the server (msextra 3.4.2 firmware on microsquirt). I found my .ini and moved it into the same folder on the tablet, but ever since the first connection my tablet never gets past "reading signature." I've uninstalled/reinstalled the app, reset my connections and it continues to act the same. What do?

Same problem as above three different devices Bluetooth turns solid blue reading signature but never connects.connected one time at first then just reading signature. This is EFI Source Bluetooth module Insignia 7-inch tab I am not that computer savvy.

This is what I receive from EFI Analytics
With the MicroSquirt you need to wire the power to the Bluetooth adapter so that it power cycles with the ECU. Also you want to make sure the switch position is closest to the antenna to make a connection.

Any time you make a connection and then loose it or shut the ECU off the Bluetooth adapter must be power cycled before a connection to the ECU will be possible that is why we recommend making the Bluetooth adapter power cycle with the ECU.

This option allows you to connect the power from an ign. source so it switches with the ECU then provides you with a USB connection so you can connect to the Bluetooth adapter.

This is a cigarette cell phone charger, they usually cycled with the ignition so it would work as well.

Ok, thanks for the reply. I got a new cigarette lighter outlet and wired it to ignition so the Bluetooth adapter cycles with the micro every time. So now it gets past the connection but it now won't ever get past "reading signature" again. It's been connected fine before, so I know I have the right .ini and all the right connection settings but it won't fully connect still.

if you can get it to work
you might wanna check out a rasberry 3!
if you disable the touch sceen ( red wire) by hand or toggle switch you can boot it to a big screen
also less hassle with can modules

It might be neccesary to restart the tablet to clear the program cache

I never was able to get it to work with the bluetooth adapter. I caved and bought a $6 android otg cable and it works great every time since the first time I plugged it in.
