OBD for Proton - new bluetooth project

It has been a while... There are some requests for the Obd reader (dashxtender) but since it involves a lot of hadware I found it difficult to make. It also needs to have the look to be attractive, for which I am not very good at aesthetics. Plus, the LCD that I used are no longer in the market and new ones has different pinouts. I need to change my circuit...!

Hence, I have been working on this bluetooth thing. I found one cheap bluetooth to serial board. I just received them last week.


I ordered the wrong ones!. This one has no pin. With my age and eyesight, it was a strain to solder some wires on those small things.

This board that I build can communicate with my Galaxy Note. Yeay...!

I also built some codes so that this thing can communicate to my Proton Saga BLM ECU via OBD. I also incorporated some translation codes so that TORQUE can communicate with my ECU via this board. Findout about Torque here http://torque-bhp.com/ or you can download from Google Play. There is free version - torque lite. Paid version lets you do a lot more things..!

Initial tests proved a success..! I can display things such as speed, rpm, manifold pressure, load, temperatures on my Android..! and error codes! Now you can use TORQUE for your PROTON...!

This kit is also much cheaper to make..!

Here is a video of the kit in action....




You can add more display such as injection pulse width, battery voltage by using customised PID in Torque.
