I am running this program now as my main app...I'm getting 33 pids/sec on a galaxy Tab 4 with an OBDlink MX. I love the gauge customization although it took a bit of playing to get it to my liking. Very responsive gauge tool! Thanks for sharing it!

Pics or BS ;D
I asked the developers about the pid rate.
They rate the MX up to 100 pids/second.
It seems to me since we are using their preferred software and device that 30% of max bandwidth seems low.
It doesn't feel or look slow but I figured I'd ask anyway.
I don't think the boost pid is correct, I see about half the vacuum I'd see with Torque. Boost seems right though.
I can't get the revised KR pid to work even though it tests fine. For now I roll old school with negative equaling advance.

That's a cool setup! I like the overlayed gauges - I may have to give that a shot. I will post up a screenshot of my setup once I grab it at lunch if I remember.
Oh if you want the "KR" value to switch the meaning of negative and positive I found a way to trick it. You can't multiply by a negative in the formula or it gives you a "stack error" but you CAN trick it by putting in "-1" in the English to Metric conversion factor. That will result in Negative readings for taking away timing and positive readings for actual knock.

Well it's "technically" correct because it is reading negative psi. Torque would switch from inches of mercury for vacuum (more traditional) to PSI for boost on its own. From what I've seen their boost gauge is just PSI. The conversion factor from psi to inhg is almost exactly 2 to 1 (well 2.03602 to be exact)

Here's a pic. I had to take it out of the car because the glare was so bad...

If you got to the "settings" page you can hit the three little dots in the upper right corner and do am export. It saves it with a filename something like OBDlink.stg in the root directory of your tablet. You will need a file browser to fine it of course. You can copy that over and the Import it.

It's actually just a Tab 7...I probably could have sprung for the 8 but thought it might be too big. Now I'm not thinking that. For the record that looks way too "blue" in the picture then in real life. It's much more readable than that...FoMoCoSHO said:Is that a tab 8.4?ecoboostsho said:Here's a pic.
