Matt Cramer Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's not technically our product; this is from EFI Analytics. But we get asked for a MegaSquirt program for smart phones all the time, and so I wanted to give them a plug. They've got a new program called Shadow Logger out for Android phones, currently in beta testing. Check it out here: http://tunerstudio.com/index.php/shadowloggerms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Excellent! Thanks for the heads up Matt. I have been waiting for this and hoping it leads to a tuner product in the future for android OS. I have an Acer Iconia tablet that I have been waiting to try it on.

Tune without a cable... Man I've been looking for a decent BT adapter. I tried one of the plug-in ones from Fry's without success (Linux). I'll have to try that.

Hmm... Tune without a cable... And SparkFun is a good place as well for Bluetooth modules Hopefully this is the first step to having TS on the Android devices. For now I'm using iDisplay to use my phone as a remote display from my laptop. That way I can mount it on the dash/windshield/gauge cluster and monitor whatever I want through my Android device.

mobythevan Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I cannot get the EFI analytics website to work to order the tested bluetooth module? I haven't emailed Phil yet, but curious if anyone else ordered this through the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... Tune without a cable... Did anyone get the Bluetooth adapter to work with one of those USB to serial converters? It seems like the Bluetooth dongle would require a host PC.

BLOZ UP Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 What do you mean? You either have a serial->USB to connect to a computer, or a serial->BT dongle to connect to a computer (or phone). I've got a BT dongle on the way that I'm going to try with my Linux laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a BT dongle on the way that I'm going to try with my Linux laptop. My question is on the serial->BT dongle. I'm thinking that using a serial->USB adapter in the MS with a BT dongle will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 So Serial->USB->BT->Computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 So Serial->USB->BT->Computer? Yes. I don't think this will work because the BT dongle needs a host to load the device driver (so does the serial to USB adapter). You could plug the serial to USB adapter to a laptop with BT, and then go wireless from there to your Android. Serial -> USB -> Netbook -> BT Dongle -> Android should work.

mobythevan Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 You guys are talking about solutions other than the module that EFIanalytics sells, right? Does it save that much money to mess with serial->usb->BT instead of buying the available solution at $70? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like an awful lot of adapters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamH Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Will there be an iOS version? Actually, I feel like an iPad would be a good candidate for a FULL version of TunerStudio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Picked up a 7" Galaxy Tab to run Shadowlogger, and it's awesome! I highly recommend this guys, it adds GPS location and speed, and g-force per direction and cumulative. I was worried about the GPS not being accurate, but it is! This is going to be amazing on the track. The GPS plots in MLV and you can color it by any value available. This gives you a map of your track that you can evaluate with: - Speed as you go around the track - G-forces in corners - AFR to see if bumps/corners are affecting your fueling - TPS to show if your foot is betraying what you think you're doing There are all sorts of new possibilities! I've attached a map of my morning commute as an example, with speed as the color coding (Z-axis). You can clearly see stoplights!
