Re: Nistune USB communication

Finally got something out of my Nistune board but I'm not quite sure how to interpret the data. My app now opens the device, sets send buffer CA,06,00,00,00, writes buffer and then reads what ever comes back from the device and prints the data in hex values and also in UTF-8 string format. 20140514_...

Re: Nistune USB communication

It seems I have trouble discovering the Nistune board with my application. For some reason the Nistune does not get recognized as a FTDI device or something.

Re: Nistune USB communication

Yes, that is true. I would myself go with the Android 4.0+ device. I think these would most likely support OTG. There's also an app for checking the USB OTG capabilities on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.usbotgchecker I have cheap chinese made Ainol Fire 7" t...

Re: Nistune USB communication

I would assume you could just use normal USB OTG cable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go) to connect the Type 1 directly to phone/tablet. http://christophercolston.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/usb_otg.jpg I'll try to implement some kind of demo app using the function calls you instructed an...

Nistune USB communication

I'm currently running S13 CA18det with Nistune Type 1 board and I would be interested in developing an Android app for viewing live data from Nistune (sensor data, gauges etc). As I do not have Consult port on my vehicle I would need to somehow communicate with Nistune board via USB. What kind of pr...
