He won’t need a PID for each unit, he can just store the raw value then when it is time to display it use the formula for the unit the user selected, just like doing temperature.

I’m wondering how to read data from both iMFD and the OBD2, you have to send the switch command and the iMFD sends data every 100 ms. You could interrupt the response wait from OBD2 to get the iMFD data, but that could cause problems. Might see if I can open dual connections to the kiwi, access both streams at once.

As great as Torque is, I need something that can datalog very fast, the quarter mile ends fast.

I did managed to get some good data last night, every time you send “-” you get a data stream. To get more you have to turn it back to OBD2 mode by sending “+”, then sending carriage return, then “-” again. When I kept doing that though I got some weird data back that made no sense. Been hard to work on this since it is over 100? and that garage gets hot.

Something like that, but when I grabbed the second frame it came back with weird info.

I will post it tonight, been busy since Saturday we bought a 2014 Mustang 5.0 with Brembo’s, been having fun with it.

PLX Question…If I have 2 or 3 of their gauges with the kiwi can I still use Torque to read other gauges? I’d like to run BT gauges in my pillar pod in my car nd run Torque.

I am, but only when the stream is received at once, some times the stream will be received over multiple parts. I have to store all the bytes received in a buffer until I receive the stop bit, then process all the information. After that I have to send the +, carriage return, clear the input buffer, then send -.

I just saw where that big pack of data I posted had the start bit after the ACD, the ACD is probably from the + I sent to the OBD2.

OK, so I tried removing the Y-splitter and plugged the PLX Kiwi BT device directly into the vehicle’s OBD2 port. I am no longer getting OBD2 data to my DM-200 OBD2, only iMFD, but that’s fine for this testing.

Here is my problem:

I DO NOT have an SM-AIT at all, only an SM-AFR and SM-Vac/Boost. However, when doing a PID scan through Torque Scan, this is the ONLY PLX device listed. Ian told me that any iMFD device should automatically show up in the list.

Any suggestions?

“Hi!

Sorry for not being as active as I normally am on the forums. With a bit of luck, that will change in 3 weeks time! :-D”

1. The Y-splitter still allows Torque to receive OBD2 data, but it is super slow and Torque thinks there is something wrong with the adapter and switching the “faster comm.” off. So for now, I am connecting the PLX Kiwi w/iMFD directly to the OBD2 port.
2. When plugged directly into the OBD2 port, Torque runs great and receives data just fine. However, I do not see any of MY iMFD devices listed in Torque Scan (after a several minute long “auto” PID scan), or in the “add display/add sensor” in the “realtime information” screen. I see an “intake air temperature” sensor with a PLX icon next to it, but nothing for my PLX AFR or Vac/Boost.

If you are using devices on the y-splitter with
the same tester address at the same time…
it may confuse the network and weird things
could happen?

As I mentioned in the prior post, I have bypassed the Y-splitter and am still getting the same problem of not seeing my iMFD sensors.

I am working with Ian directly via email and will report back with my fix(es).

Thanks for the interest!

I’m working back on this next week, sorry it’s taken so long to pick up

It should be plug and play on PLX adapters, though I have not tried with 2 sensors of the same type being installed (and that’s one that I need to look at)

EDIT: Had a very brief look at this now whilst I’m able, and already found one issue. Hopefully I can improve this at the weekend before the next update
