[ale] semi ot GOT ODB II Android working here's how - was anyone using obd ii automotive diagnostics

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi Mike T and others,

I would be willing to do a presentation on it with a few caveats:

1) If anyone gets killed or injured because they're messing with this 
app in their car, it ain't my fault.
2) I have to work around my July / August vacation schedule.  During 
August and later, I hope to be taking programming courses at Gwinnett 
Tech, which I also have to schedule around.
3) I'm not a car expert and I'm not an Android expert.  For that matter, 
I'm not an expert on this Torque application.  It has many features I 
haven't tried.  But, I've been tinkering with it a bit and I have it 
working.  I'm willing to share what I've learned.
4) GPS cannot be demonstrated in the classroom.  There is no reception.
5) If we want a from scratch live installation demo, I may have to use 
someone else's Android device, since I don't want to erase my setup.  I 
can demonstrate mine up and running though.
6) If we want a live bluetooth demo and a live running demo, with active 
gauges, since I cannot get my car into the classroom, I'll need access 
to an ODB II simulator, which I don't have.  I can demonstrate 
application setup and virtual gauge placement without the gauges 
actually running though, and other things with photos and slides.  If 
anyone has access to such an OBD II simulator, let me know.
7) To show the tablet screen on the projector, I need a camera pointed 
at it or I need an HDMI port.

Sincerely,

Ron
