Simos Tools - New Phone Datalogging App

[aaronc7]

Hey gang, wanted to share some recent developments on a new phone datalogging app, which I think may interest some of you. Made by @Switchleg, I have been helping him test it and creating definition files. Also credit to @bri3d for creating the initial BLE to ISOTP20 firmware. And @joedubs who is currently working on the flashing portion of the app. And finally @ZuMBLe who purchased those guys' dongles in order to lure them into making something cool (lol).

I don't think there's been a great datalogging option, outside of something like Cobb Accessport (VCDS is NOT a great option for logging). Best of all, this is cheap and all open source. In the works is phone flashing and other stuff.... but I'll keep this topic mostly centered on the logging portion. All of this is still very new, so things are still changing and updating quite often.

- Works on any Simos18.1/18.6/18.10 (MK7, MK7.5, Audi A3/S3, all of the other Euro versions of these cars)
- Dongle required is Macchina A0 using BLE (Bluetooth low energy): https://www.macchina.cc/catalog/a0-boards/a0-under-dash
- App is Android only at the moment: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...hl=en_US&gl=US
- Can log any PID to include "advanced" ones such as boost over 23psi, knock, ethanol content, airmass over 1389 mg/stk, etc.
- Logs around 600 PID/s. So 30 params around 20hz, 60 params around 10hz, etc. This is way faster than VCDS and 6x faster than HP tuners logging.
- Totally configurable, can set what to log, which page to put what gauges on, min/max alarms for any param.
- Read ECU info and clear DTC functions. More utilities to be implemented down the road. (improved logging interface and flashing is priority right now)

Sample datalog (just idling the car, nothing exciting): https://datazap.me/u/aaronc7/simos-t...log=0&data=6-9

In this log, I am logging "everything" / 46 params, so logging rate is only 12-13hz. Still very useable, but could speed that up by deselecting a few items.

Here's a quick demo video I made:

I thought this might be interesting and relevant to hp tuners guys, to help supplement the datalogging side of things.

I am using this and it works very well.

Aaron plans for med 17 support?

Aaron plans for med 17 support?

I think it could be easily adapted to work on MED17. Perhaps just a different input pid list csv file. Not sure if MED supports multi PID request mode (how it’s able to be so much faster) or it might have slightly different syntax to set it up.

It’s all open source code, worst case might need a few small tweaks.

Would love to help out more but I don’t have a MED vehicle. Get a good PiD list with addresses equations is a good place to start.
