How do you use your OBD-II, Car Scanner?

[Maxx]

I use Android Auto to see Carscanner on the 12" screen. It only shows text, no gauges or pictures. I heard that is due to Android Auto safety requirements.

I found the app and as you said it only shows text. @Bandit216 screen looks sweet. Graphic is less distracting than text to me. I am not sure he is using iPhone or 15 in screen guys Sync does something differently.

Adding insult to injury, each page can only display 10 parameters.

I do have another question. Have you ever been able to measure your acceleration? It does not like the truck to move. I can see it start showing the acceleration as soon as I start moving but replace it with the message before I can get any meaningful information.

Seeing the instantaneous power coming out of and going back into the battery is a bit addictive for me. I was surprised by how much Regen can pump in. Like being at DCFC charging station especially if you are in sport mode.

This was a big surprise for me too. I was not expecting to get around -150 kW

I haven't ever tried to get the acceleration. Have you tried using that on the phone only (not connected to AA)?

Does anyone know why battery temp increases is not shown linearly? Or at least with a smoother line?

I tried it while I was connected to AA and could see the results on the phone but not on truck display. I had a lot of heavy stuff in the frunk, steel running board and bed rack, some junk in the back and tires slipped when I did this which may explain why it is not anywhere near the 3.9 sec I saw on one of the Pro reviews. But even at sub 5 seconds, I felt like I was about to pass out. I may try this again with less weight.

My dashboard isnt on the device. I'm less interested in seeing individual parameters live, I want to capture the data across many months, years actually.

Unfortunately the logging in car scanner is quite terrible if you want to use the logs outside of car scanner. The format sucks and you have to export each one, one at a time.

Torque continuously logs to a csv file. I have it set so that this csv is exported to Google drive once I get home. From there a script processes each individual log into one master spreadsheet.

Could you share the Torque scripts? I picked up the Pro version and have also the Ford specific addon, but have never found the time to look through all the PIDs and see which ones actually provide meaningful data on the Lightning.

I will.

Unfortunately my pipeline broke yesterday.... Google sheets has a limit of 10,000,000 cells...i hit that in 4 days

Ill figure something else out

What time interval are you recording? I've been debating how small I need to go to get useful data.

Yes, you can bring up CarScanner on the truck display. I understand it works better on iOS vs Android, but I have not tried it (and I lose my #$%^& iPhone in 24 days anyway - when I retire). No info on the 12" screen.

12-In screen works fine. I use it all the time in my SR XLT.
