Dashawk replacement for iPhone!

DevToaster - Rev - iPhone app development, Great iPhone apps, and more

That looks pretty cool! Although it still raises the question on how to mount the iPhone so it doesn't move. Every mount I've tried moves, thus rendering the accelerometer useless.

the tomtom for iphone app that comes with a awesome Windscreen mount will probably be the best bet when thats released

im checking the tom tom website daily...!!

iphone.tomtom.com

failing that another good moutn for the windscreen would be the

Griffin Technology: WindowSeat - Windshield Mount for iPhone & iPod touch

id be happy if i could download the Rev app .

[Ranton]

i might get it one day...

[holotropik]

Looks very interesting...
now i need to know if there is a port in the MPS3 that will support this??

[shinslinger66]

Yes it has the port...and that software look awesome!

[tricache]

Hmmmm now only need someone to actually test it and see if it works as good as the Daskhawk

The CEL function is awesome!!

So I finally forked out, and got myself this app, and the Kiwi wireless dongle.
Overall not too bad. But i haven't played with the dash hawk.
The only thing is that you can only monitor 5 settings at a time. The results of which you can log, then email to yourself.

I have a question however for boost.

Teachnical Manual says stock boost is 15.6 max psi.

My boost gauge (which is a prosport electric one) only ever gets as high as 14.9, sometimes 15.1 psi max,

The Logger (since I received the unit) has recorded a max boost reading of 16.922psi

don't know what is going on.

Is there a calibrating setup on the iPhone app?

Maybe bluetooth lag is affecting it?

[MPSboi]

how do u download this app.?

[240MPS]

Nice I like

[mazda6mps]

Calibration setting is only for the acclerometer, and how you position the iphone in the car. App can be downloaded to your iphone via the itunes store.

Here are the other stats, based on 7278 data points, over a 47 minute period, which i have 'downloaded' from my iphone.

	Boost (PSI)	Calculated Engine Load (%)	RPM	Vehicle Speed (KPH)	Intake Manifold Pressure (PSI)
Mode	-10.34482	22.7451	701.25	0	4.351132
Min	-12.52038	1.176471	468.75	0	2.175566
Max	16.92228	94.5098	4786.25	73	31.61823
Average	-9.480250586	20.31256108	1326.537069	17.69987632	5.215698398

Apparently you can link your PC to the wifi dongle, and using logging software to capture all the data points avalaible under the ODBII, however the software costs $99.95 USD. (so am deliberating whether i want to get this or not).

So far I have spent the following $$ on this stuff:
Iphone App: $49.95 AUD
Kiwi wifi adapter: $169.95 AUD (Shipped)

stuff can be bought from www.plxdevices.com website.

I got the wifi adapter off ebay though.

The only thing I can think of is if the boost spiked for some reason or another and thats what caused the big boost reading.

Very interested in this app and the Bluetooth dongle.

[mazda6mps]

Interestingly, my boost gauge at idle sits at -21 psi.

The comparitor of boost being at Min -12.52038 psi means something is up.

Do you think i might have a boost leak somewhere on the Boost Gauge Sender line?

I have the boost gauge sender line connected to the BOV line (which is the pipe between the intake manifold and the BOV) - it's all zipped tied, and the line has been secured all the way to the electornic sender unit.

That, or the Rev software calculations are off?

[tricache]

If your gauge is all sweet then IMO I think the Rev software is off.

$220.00..... not bad i think.

Very good info you have posted up mate!

Also,

Can you log boost throughout the rev range?
As in Start the Log at 2,000rpm at -10psi and follow the log all the way through till 6,000rpm at (eg) 15psi and then email the chart with 2k to 6k boost pressure intervals?

Yes and no. You start the logging by hitting the record button. I did this at idle (from when i started the car), until i got to work. I gave it a bit of a squirt along the way. You then save the log at the end of the run.

You then email the session you have saved to yourself, so then you will need to extract the data from the csv file you get sent. I've attached the csv file that you get sent (as an example) - no comments on my speed and start stops please!

BTW - I don't represent plxdevices. I'm just like everyone else here on this forum - a passionate modder.

[nissanman]

Awesome. Thanks for the attachment.

i pulled out some of the info above 3,500rpm... Sorted by boost pressure vs rpm and load...
havnt looked at it properly but looks interesting... (refer to attachment)

Good work mate

Cheers
