I am sure that plenty of you guys are using the torque app. What settings do you use? Has anyone completed a full scan for additional PIDs?

Yes I have performed the full scan, and unfortunately no additional PIDs were added. I started the full scan while on a road trip and it was done shortly before I needed to stop for gas with my Samsung S4 it took about 3-4.5 hours. Just add the Pontiac / GM / Opel / Vauxhall pre-defined set and you'll have access to the many useful PIDs; on our cars I don't think there is a need for a full scan.

I used a refresh rate of 0.4 seconds (2.5Hz) and I normally log all GPS Data and the first 17 parameters listed below. On occasion when I messing around with stuff I've logged all 27. I can only log about 3-5 PIDs and achieve a refresh rate of 0.1 seconds (10Hz) I haven't be able to determine if its a limitation of the phone, software, OBDii module, or the car.

Here's what I have logged with success.

GPS Data:
-------------------
* GPS Time
* Device Time
* Longitude
* Latitude
* GPS Speed (Meters/second)
* Horizontal Dilution of Precision
* Altitude
* Bearing
* G(x)
* G(y)
* G(z)
* G(calibrated)

PID Data:
-------------------
1 Fuel Level (From Engine ECU)(%)
2 Intake Air Temperature(°F)
3 Ambient air temp(°F)
4 Transmission Fluid Temp (GM Method 1)(°F)
5 Engine Coolant Temperature(°F)
6 Oil Temperature (Engine)(°F)
7 Oil Pressure (Engine)(psi)
8 Accelerator PedalPosition D(%)
9 Throttle Position(Manifold)(%)
10 Engine RPM(rpm)
11 Speed (GPS)(mph)
12 Speed (OBD)(mph)
13 Air Fuel Ratio(Commanded)(:1)
14 Timing Advance(°)
15 Knock Retard(Deg.)
16 Volumetric Efficiency (Calculated)(%)
17 Run time since engine start(s)

-------------------

18 Fuel Trim Bank 1 Short Term(%)
19 Fuel Trim Bank 2 Short Term(%)
20 Fuel Trim Bank 1 Long Term(%)
21 Fuel Trim Bank 2 Long Term(%)
22 O2 Volts Bank 1 sensor 1(V)
23 O2 Volts Bank 1 sensor 2(V)
24 O2 Volts Bank 2 sensor 1(V)
25 O2 Volts Bank 2 sensor 2(V)
26 Catalyst Temperature (Bank 1 Sensor 1)(°F)
27 Catalyst Temperature (Bank 2 Sensor 1)(°F)

Thanks for saving my from the full scan! I was trying to figure out when I would have time to make a long enough trip.

I cant wait for my android head unit to arrive so I can really get this going.

100% spot on.

I love this app. Torque Pro + the OBD Bluetooth tool is amazing.

If I may ask....which Bluetooth adapter is it that you are using?

TIA

I use the one that is Branded by BAFX on Amazon.

I use the: ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX Bluetooth: Professional OBD-II Scan Tool for Android & Windows.

I use the same ODBii Bluetooth Adapter to generate the following

holy ish, i didn't even know that was possible. really cool

Just installed a tablet onto my center console for the purpose of the extra gauges and data logging that Torque Pro provides.
(I may move it up higher for line-of-sight purposes.)

I cannot find a way to rerun the log files. I have phone storage logs, Torque website log files and log files in my pc. I have not found how to rerun them. Is it possible? It reruns the map route, but no clues how to study the graphs and gauges repeatedly.

R_W

Good question. I dont know how you would play them in sync in a display with the video. I'm sure there is a way out there, but other than matching times in the excel sheet to the times on any recorded video, I have yet to figure out a playable way. Hmmm
Anyone else care to chime in on this one?

truth.b

Good job. The half dials with digital read out are very easy to read at a glance as well. You can set max/min (Capture #3) or let it self adjust (Capture #2).

I'm not completely sure of the question, but I don't think looking at all the data in real time can be done via the app. I use excel to look at the raw numbers, but the easier way is to dump the files into a program like race render. Obviously the video part of the screen will be black but you can add dials to display all of the data you've logged.

How did you mount the tablet?

R_W

I used 4 x Scosche "Magic Mount" (http://www.scosche.com/magic-mount-c...r-tablet-mount - Can be found on Amazon) dash pieces with the steel plates stuck to the bottom of the tablet.

Can you use the cell phone to do the videoing as well. and still capture the gauges and data in the video or is a second camera necessary

truth.b

I imagine you can shoot a video and still log data but I'm not sure how well the phone will keep up. Also the gauges will not be overlayed on top of the video. A program like Race Render will be needed for that. Lastly, a second camera is not need.

Hope this helps.
