Any thoughts on open/closed source code?

I don't know what kind of hardware its programmed on, but if there's any capabilities to customize/have fun with (like make it say 'SWIDD IS BAD DRIVER' when I turn on the car and say 'CALM DOWN SWIDD' when I speed), it could at least increase the justification for purchasing the USB cable, and/or give the community something to do.

I very well may disclose the protocol for the USB interface. The primary reason would be to allow those running something other than Windows to be able to write their own app, as my app with be for Windows.

I think I would be able to make a Linux version of the app if you were to release the source code. I'm currently in the process of learning Python, so this could be the perfect project for me to tackle.

That's what I was thinking - That if I publish the protocol for the USB comm, Linux, Mac, etc. people can write their own apps for it.

If I need to be in the car with a laptop, then I'll need that software to run in linux, either with ported code or using Wine. But I also may not worry about it and use it as is :)

I will be using it as is as I do not own a laptop because I have no need/use for one.

I wonder how many who are here that also do no have a laptop or who may actually have one.

iphone app....

nah, just kidding.

swidd · 10-10-2010, 10:56 AM

After getting an iPhone I haven't used my laptop at all, its in the back of a closet collecting dust. But it could perhaps come out of the closet to play with the YarGauge.

I've done some iPhone and now iPad development. Eventually I'd like to add a WiFi interface and create a nice app for it.

That'll be swell! I'd be making myself a display with no clock, as I already have time shown on my stereo... I only want to see MPG, RPM, OAT and maybe something else...

I'm afraid the Yaris will rust into little pieces before you get it finished though!!

henry33 · 10-20-2010, 03:06 AM

Scott if you keep adding the functions it won't be done ever :(

IsLNdbOi · 10-20-2010, 03:09 AM

That's what I said earlier in the thread.

I think I've got all of the functionality done for the main device. Now, I am working on buttoning up the ability for the PC interface to be able to read and clear DTCs on the rest of the body ECUs. On Wednesday I received the last ECU that I was missing for my test bench (the ABS ECU), so I now have a completely functional Yaris network on my test bench.
