hey fellas!

I am using ELM327 version.

Testing my obduino I noticed, that it cannot reinit after engine is been turned off...
Actually I dont understand how obduino senses when car is being turned on again.
maybe someone can explain that?

I have the #define SaveTripDataAfterEngineTurnOff part enabled. when I start my engine before obduino is connected to car, everything works fine. I turn off the engine, display says trips saved and backlight goes dim.
when I start the car I can get obduino to work again only by pressing reset or menu button.

another thing, when I turn on ignition and obduino inits before engine is actually started, backlight stays off and obduino wont work untill reset is pressed or menu button is pressed.

I was thinking, what about using one pin and reading ignition on it? like, when pin is high do elm init, when pin is low - save trips.

otherwise this tool is brilliant
any ideas?
thanks
