Optimiser for Android
07/03/12 at 17:45:17

I see a lot of possibilities for the new android version of the Optimiser, especially when incorporating some the the platform's capabilities of GPS and accelerometers and the possibility to make a complete dashboard out of one.

Another possibility, because the code base is new and separate from the ECU firmware, is to make the code for the android optimiser open, allowing any of you to contribute to the features.

Please let me know if you are interested in this. It doesn't have to be writing code, laying out dialogs and creating graphics like tacho/speedo backgrounds would also be useful as they're not my strong point.

I'd be interested in getting involved in suggested layouts / graphics etc. I'd leave the code to the brainy buggers.

When the postie eventually brings my new Nexus gizmo I'll have a play and get back to you. Depending on feedback volume may be worth a separate forum section. I do like the idea of the gps data incorporated whilst logging. I know Raz has written some stuff already for LC1 and gps links but incorporating it all on one device and time / place stamping logs would be very elegant.

Any chance of emailing the Jeffries MyECU logo as per top right. Thought of making a label up for the bike with it. I was going to redraw it but don't know the font used. Think Lubho or someone else was thinking along the same lines a wee while back.

For those looking to try the new Optimiser here it is - http://www.cajinnovations.com/MyECU/ECUController/Optimiser01.apk

No instructions yet but there shouldn't be too many surprises. Functionality is rather limited in this version but I'm hoping to provide updates every 2-3 weeks.
Disable screen rotation - that restarts the app and only use portrait mode at this stage.

It will automatically create a time stamped log file in the MyECU directory. You should put your maps in here also. Logging is quite verbose at the moment so files could get large and you will need to manually delete them.

It will connect to the new bluetooth dongle and display the analogs, a dial for throttle and RPM and a grid that
colourises in realtime.
It transfers files to and from the ECU and to and from the MyECU directory.
User interaction is primarily through the main menu.
It has been written for Android 2.2 and I have run it
on a Samsung Galaxy S, Google Nexus 7 and in Android x86 running under virtualbox ( no bluetooth )
For those with the older bluetooth dongle it may work. I haven't tested that yet but I will add support in a future version if required.

Finally got passed all the ~~crap~~ security nonsense (non google certified apps etc)and up and on screen.
L.G.T.M.

Need to check original BT module talks to it - probably Tuesday after shift finishes for the week.
edit: the BT dongle works fine - picked up by the Nexus 7 pdq. Far better than other devices I have used. Haven't checked all the functionality but tps moves.

Good to know.

With the first BT dongle, the ECU knows it's there (SW4) and does the initialisation of the dongle.

With the latest dongle the ECU doesn't know anything about it. When the android app connects, it does any required initialisation.

Other than that, no difference. So if it connects and you see a response there should be no further issues.

OK - fired the bike up today - issue with oil seal (yes - the difficult small inner "gerra furra bassa" one) in bevel box leaking precludes actual run however bit confused.
The graphy thingy shows a nice green trace on tps v rpm and changes colour too with richness and leanness which is cool. Looked to see how to change the map inj dur and spark advance and kept arriving at the adjust map tables. Am I being dense and missing something here? How do you change the map injdurs? Is this still to be coded?

The realtime snail trail assumes closed loop operation at the moment and may display false colours otherwise.

I have good weather and time off - unusual coincidence!

New features are Axis display on the grid Air pressure and temps moved from text status line to graphics. Some noise removed from log.

It may be something I have done (or not done) but the closed loop is showing as inactive on the Nexus 7. I disconnected optimiser, connected BT dongle, and flipped the dip switch to on for closed loop. Heading back later to a pals to pick the bike up (bbq + beer last night

) and will check dip switch is correct - maybe arse about tit. Anything else I should look for?
Also any chance of scaling up the gui to fill the Nexus 7 screen - I am a tad visually challenged. Need to chat about how to customise the gui - failing badly to make the leap. Could you send me the code rather than the app to see if I can work out how to customise the fields on the screen?
Ta in advance.
