FE software for ELM323

[tangomar]

Hi,

I bought a very chip OBD-2 to USB converter based on ELM323.

Is there any freeware software that is able to display FE values?
If not, what would it take to make one based on scantool.net?

I like all the activity on the MPGuino and OBDuino but it would be cool to be able to use what we already have (many people have ELMs to turn off CEL).

Thanks.

I think this is a freeware version that may work for you :

ScanTool.net - Software - ScanTool.net

Description:

ScanTool.net OBD-II Software for ElmScan is a free program that allows you to use your PC and a hardware interface to get the information from your car's computer.

The program is very user-friendly, and easy to learn. It is also very easy to install: simply extract the files into a folder on your computer's hard drive, and you're ready to go. To uninstall the program, simply delete the entire contents of the folder where the program resides.

Tell us if it works.

Yah, someone could borrow the elm based FE calculations in the obduino and apply them to scantool.net. I haven't checked them for completeness yet though, but feel free to take a look certainly.

Thanks.
dcb, where should I look for the obduino FE calculations? The forum isn't that organized right now.

If anybody wants to try it out, I downloaded OBD2007 (you can test it for 15 days I believe). It worked really well and the MPG gauge was really accurate.

There should be a link in this post to googlecode

Yeah, the OBD2007 looks like a really good one :

I had the 15 day trial, but it ran out on me before I could try it (my bad).

Hey, cool, I missed this one in looking around for stuff to try with the kit interface I built. Looks nice, but the purchase price is pretty high.

Dunno if you saw my other thread, but you can check out Digimoto and WOBD too. Which interface do you have?

[tangomar]

Digimoto doesn't give MPG (at least the free version). I haven't tried WOBD.

I bought this (very cheap): more info obd2

Yeah, niether of them do mpg directly. Isn't the whole point of going to the injectors with the mpguino that FE data derived from OBDII sensors is unreliable, though?

That's why I wanted both.

I did download the 7 day trial of OBD2007 and play around with it today. It is pretty nifty, alright, but just beyond my budget.
