Hi Ian,
is any way to add knock sensor PID for Mitsusbi airtrek year 2003??
Thanks for reply.

Hi, are you guys currently developing a Subaru SSM so that those of us who drives a Subaru can use more PID? The Engine Oil Temperature is the one I am looking for but unfortunately only HKS is the only one I know whose able to pull off reading engine oil temp.

Unfortunately the basic hex reading is not compatible with my ECU.

The oil temp PID has been identified :

Without further delay, here’s the info:
OBD2 Mode and PID: 2101
Minimum Value: -40
Maximum Value: 215 (this is just the maximum that this location can support, which does not mean the sensor can read that high)
Scale factor: x1
Unit type: C
Equation: AC-40 (no space between A and C; “AC” is the location within the response)
OBD Header: 7E0 (Auto also works, but seems to take longer)

Can you tell me how you interpreted the strings returned by TorqueScan to arrive at the values you posted?

When I run TorqueScan for PID 2101, this is all I get:

Command: 2101 response:
01A
0:610160FC2764
1:DC02051E65053D
2:6B1A2841050765
3:0534633B286AAA

How do I interpret these please? Anyone?

Hi

Thanks for the posts to this thread (oil temp, setPID, etc) – they’ll be added into the next updates

setPIDInformation was broken in previous versions – last weekends update fixed it so you should now be able to use it effectively to add your own PIDs to the app (String name = “my custom PID” not “ff1123,0”) – it can be used to add your own PIDs to the app only at the moment

Overwriting PIDs (or rather, feeding information into Torque on the standard PID range from other plugins(RPM, speed, etc) is being considered but there are a few cases where it may be abused that I need to work out ways to prevent first

Hi Ian,
I have been happily using Torque with a generic ELM 327 bluetooth plugin, first with an LG Optimus One P500 (Android 2.3) and now with a Star N7000 phone (Android 4.0.4). No problems.

I have also used Torquescan via the pre-built apk on both phones. Again, no problems, thanks hugely for very professional development.

Getting a bit more ambitious, I have tried to get into the Torquescan source to build and return to Torque “total energy” and “actual power” parameters incorporating potential and kinetic energy of the car, ie. including incline, acceleration and air resistance terms, so as to derive real efficiency (power/fuel flow) as a guide to gear changing, coasting, hill-climb strategy etc. Gets a bit complicated without knowing accurate vehicle mass, Cd and energy content of fuel, but I hoped to patch together initial guesses and modelling to derive those parameters.

So far however I have not got past first base. I can’t get Eclipse to display, edit or compile the Torquescan project files. I extracted all the files and subfolders to a folder and pointed Eclipse to it via “Change Workspace” but it apparently does not recognise the project structure. Can you give us a heads-up on the Eclipse procedure required?

I can’t seem to stop the torque service after my Activity life cycle terminates.

This has no effect since stopService can’t guarantee a service should finalize.
Intent intent = new Intent(“org.prowl.torque”,”org.prowl.torque.remote.TorqueService”);
stopService(intent);

Can an additional function be put in the aidl so that our STUB can request torque to stop and remove the icon at the top? such as:
bool shutdownService(int requestType);

For the curious, my app is much less a plugin but instead an independent app that uses the torque service.

I’m trying to modify the example app and in testing I can move the apk to my phone and displays/works in torque but how do I do this from the emulator? The torque app is required but I can’t install since there’s no market.
