Hi

Bluetooth speeds are pretty good – the most limiting factor is the ECU and the rates it responds to requests. If you are using ATMA (with no filters) then on modern vehicles which transmit a lot of data over canbus, you may see some buffer overflows (though if you filter you should be fine)

At the moments, the plugins query sensors that torque knows about, but also provides a one-off command interface for firing off a PID request and getting a response (with header).

AT MA over the plugin interface isn’t possible,.. yet. (I just happen to have recently added an MonitorAll implementation to Torque for some ECU specific stuff internally so this is not too difficult to implement over the plugin API). I’m not sure what you’re up to but PID requests are a very straightforward using the plugin API (don’t forget the ATMA would stop PID requests for the duration you needed to ‘monitor all’)

AT MA, does monitor all data, though ECU’s don’t send PID data normally – you have to request it. So you may get to see all kinds of data, but something like O2 data (etc) may not be sent

New user, so maybe I just missed this….

Curious about ABS Wheel Speed Sensor info….

I do a lot of AWD stuff, and am currently playing with a 97 yukon ABS issues, wondering which hub to replace.

Would seem a simple task to see this info? Or no? Or is there a plugin I haven’t found?

Love this app, I’m sooooo impressed and thnkful for it. Much thanks!!!

I am not understanding why the PID scanner returns nothing.

I have a Ford Mustang (GT500) and I’ve done the regular scan and full scan and have discovered exactly 0 PIDs. The ones in Manage Extended PIDs (or whatever it’s called) are mostly non-functional, perhaps 3 return any data. I am trying to figure out how to see useful data like the actual air charge temperature after the supercharger and the readings from the OEM wideband sensor in the car. I’m completely exhausted and discouraged trying to figure out why such information is nearly impossible to find.

Edit: It seems like the AFR readout may be a wideband reading. They do such a good job of imitating a switching type & it doesn’t richen up until it’s really deep into boost.

Edit2: I did a search and found this thread that gives me some ideas to get IAT2 working.

Hi
I did a torque scan PID finder and it found two new fields
I had to then cancel it so it generated an e mail to send but somehow I lost that E Mail

Now when I scan it doesnt find the two, has it been logged somewhere to skip if scanned again ?

Hello

The results you have quoted are about right for the devices used. The STN1100 (with a normal bluetooth radio unit if you are using the OBDLink) can only manage about 27 PIDs over bluetooth. and 60+ isn’t unheard of over USB

However, the newer OBDLink MX (which has a very optimised bluetooth radio unit on the same board) can handle over 50PIDs/second over bluetooth (this is using a Galaxy S2 with the OBDLink MX. (you may not see a comparable increase in speed with the HTC Evo devices though as it’s then down to the bluetooth radio firmware on the android device)

The MX can handle over 100PIDs/sec over bluetooth (on a PC), on Android, it’s subject to the bluetooth drivers on the device itself and the latencies involved. (the fastest I have seen to date over bluetooth is 66PIDs/sec (peak) on a Samsung Galaxy S2)

Bluetooth as a medium isn’t the limiting factor, it’s the radio firmwares and drivers.

I purchased the Mazdaspeed PID’s. They work great thanks!

I would purchase pid for oil teml and pressure for a Chevy 2500 6.0 2006 can anyone help?

I think this a great program and well worth my money.

I am going to write an Android program tomorrow which will display custom PIDs from an ECU I am working with.

Today I wrote a program for windows that will display the custom pids for me reading from ELM327 bluetooth.

Unless I am missing the source code or something in the plugin documentation, unfortunately it doesn’t look like torque will support reading of these pids, since this ECU requires seed/key algo calcs, and I currently don’t see any mechanism to support this in torque.

What I will write tomorrow will probably just output the data I am monitoring from the ECU to a text file or console. It would be great to get this data into Torque.

Perhaps the ability is already in Torque to read from a temp file (on the sd card for example written to by my external program) and then display that data in a graph or dial “real time”.

If this is a new feature request, I think this would be a really great addition to the program and open up a lot of possibilities to be able to read values from a text file (fore example) and display them in torque.

Hi,
Newbie alert but I’ve had a good look through the forum before posting.
Can I write a ‘data src’ plug-in that provides data for the app instead of the bluetooth/ODB2?
I have a CANbus based system on an electric car and want to send that data so folks can view on torque.
I would use existing PIDs where appropriate but likely need to add new ones for unique data such as various temperatures, currents, state of charge, and various state bits (usual doors plus electric car specific charge-door).
(Perhaps after some RTFM I could still use standard PIDs and simply rename the gauges).

I see in the torque setup tcp/ip port settings.
Where can I find more info on the data format the app expects over that interface?

Hi

Yes, the AIDL interface provides a mechanism so that you can pass data into the app (though it hasn’t been used much) – the method you want is likely:

/**
    * Add / Update a PID from your plugin to the main app, Your PID is keyed by name.  This can be used to set a value on a PID in Torque.
    *
    * @param value       The value to be shown in the display 
    * @param stringValue A string value to be shown in the display - overrides 'value' when not null - note(try not to use numeric values here as they won't be unit converted for you).  Set to null to revert to using the 'float value'
    */
   boolean setPIDInformation(String name, String shortName, String unit, float max, float min, float value, String stringValue);

Find any issues, let me know!
