    Has anyone try to connect some kind of reader to motorcycle?
    I use RC with my Samsung Omnia and external BT device for lap timing on my Yamaha YZF R1, but now I would like to have some additional data from ECU like RPM

    Hugos, sorry to hear that OBD-II reader doesn't work. I'll have to consider buying one.
  • hugoshugos

  • aol_of_RaceChronoaol_of_RaceChrono

    Just bought a cheap ELM327 OBD2 Bluetooth device and tried together with RaceChrono on my E5800 phone. Connected without a hitch and seems to work great.

    Only tried some Performance Testing so far though.

    EDIT: Oh, should probably mention that I tested with my Honda Civic Type-R -02 (european model).

    Hi David Lundin,

    What do you see when this cheap device is connected on your E5800 phone (ie bluetooth signature) ?

    is "CBT: dev B" ?

    Good question, I can't recall what it said, it went smoothly with RC though. I'll check tomorrow if I get the chance!
  • aol_of_RaceChronoaol_of_RaceChrono
    hugos: Probably different from yours, as I cannot get it to work with Nokia 5800 :)
  • David LundinDavid Lundin
    Went out in the rain, sat down in my car and turned the ignition before I realized I could (obviously) see what devices I had paired with my phone without actually needing them to be connected at the time hehe.

    My device is identified as "CAN OBDII".

    Well, it doesn't look exactly like the one in the picture (mine is blue and without any sticker or anything), but then again, it doesn't match the picture from the store where I bought it either. The small driver/software disc is the exact same that I got with mine and the description of the contained software and hardware is also identical so I think it's the same unit.
  • hugoshugos
    Ok, and the 5 LEDs are in the same place on the same side as the OBD socket of the photo ?
  • David LundinDavid Lundin
    Nope, no leds at all. Just an anonymous blue box.

    It does on the picture where I bought it though. I will have a word with them about that, and also because there was also a virus-infected .DLL-file on the software disc!

    Hy,

    I am new here. I own an Fiat Stilo 1.8 petrol and a Nokia LD3W external GPS. The software work great with the GPS but a can't connect to OBD. I have an ELM 327 V1.3a and it is fully compatibile with the car. All software that came with the cable connect to the car but RaceChrono does not. The message that I have is "No connection to OBD".
    what can I do?
  • hugoshugos
    Godzzi: to identify your hardware, what you see when OBD device (ELM 327 V1.3a) is connected on your system (ie bluetooth signature) ?
  • GodzziGodzzi
    USB Serial Port (COM9). in race chrono i've selected com port 9 for OBD.
  • hugoshugos
    Godzzi: this is not what I ask you, but rather the name of bluetooth device paired with your system.
  • GodzziGodzzi
    sorry. the only bluetooth device is the GPS (nokia ld33w). The ELM327 cable is an OBD-USB.
  • hugoshugos
    Thanks for the reply.

    I fixed the problem. It was the com port that it remains stuck. The program works only after a fresh windows boot. I tested the program on:
    Seat Ibiza 2008 - 1.2 , 12v engine and
    Fiat Stilo 2002 - 1.8 , 16v engine
    The test were done on windows version on a laptop+elm327 v1.3a cable + external GPS Nokia LD3W

    yoshiboldor: I tested the OBD-II from CBT Technology on my "Triumph 675 Street Triple".


    At this time this OBDII Bluetooth device work with OBDGauge (tested on PocketPC and wm2003se) BUT don't work with RaceChrono 1.4 ! OBDII Bluetooth Cheap device, the response time should not be good ?



    other things : Are you sure your bike (GSXR600 K7) has the OBD-II socket ?

    I also have problems pairing the ELM327-Bluetooth to RC (Nokia E75). My ELM-adapter looks pretty much like this : http://www.mbtecc.com/book.asp?nid=76&bookid=102

    All the other programs and the phone itself finds the ELM327-Bluetooth-adapter but when I try search BT-devices in RC, it doesn't even find the device. So I can't try pairing to it. And this problem is only in RC. Is there anything to do for resolving this problem?
  • aol_of_RaceChronoaol_of_RaceChrono
    I have one of those sent by an user. For me it pairs just fine, but can't make it work more than few seconds.
