G'Day Eh !

Does anyone one know of some software that runs on a PC that you can use to monitor stats via the OBCII port .

I know there are a couple of apps, that let you plug in a Palm Pilot , but I haven't found any PC version yet...

Thanks,
Don
PS: Is there a Search option to hunt thought the forums looking for *stuff*

 

There is some software called laplogger that works with an odb2 to serial interface standard something called something like elm232 or some other such name. Works on PocketPC and have seen pc apps that support this same obd2 to serial conversion cable/dongle thing...

Search and search this thread are available on upper right side of webpage. when you are in the forum section.

Welcome to the club...

 

I agree, try doing a search, there are bunch of options available. Depending on your price point, how many parameters you would like to monitor at a time, sampling frequency, dyno info, etc.

I've been using Auterra and have been happy with it. It was a bit pricey but has served all my needs so far.

 

A friend of mine uses this one...

But I guess you need an piece inbetween to decode the protocol comming from the ECU - which you can get from these guys..

I was hopping to get away with just the cable and a Laptop or PDA, but it looks like it'll take at least one of these *boards*

Thanks, for the replies
