Anyone like this idea? Self Contained Data Logging Unit

wow were you in crazy scientist mode, just hid in the basement until you finally had a breakthrough.

Haha, something like that. I originally posted this about a year ago right as I was finishing up college. I underestimated the interference a full time job can have on free time. I'm also bouncing ideas off of one of my friends on how to refine the process of downloading data.

Yay, I want one!

So after a long and boring technical discussion with my friend it seems like a Bluetooth based piece of hardware combined with an Android smart phone could be the best way to streamline the data logging/real-time ECM view process. Does this strike anyone else as a good idea? I already have a Bluetooth development boards on the way to try this out.

I have done some android programming before and have verified that it can support the RFCOMM profile which would work great with the Buell ECM (basically serial port emulation). I ordered this breakout board from sparkfun to test the idea:

I can take care of programming the back end of this. Is there anyone on this forum that has experience with Android GUI programming (not my strong point)?

Sounds Cool! Can't help with the programming though.

I'd be super-interested in a plug and play setup. I'm not Linux savy and am super-short on time, but would love to be able to log a bunch of data and being able to do it to a android phone would be awesome, especially if the phone could displace various bits of data in real time (like engine temp - ideally some sort of interface where you could easily customize what is displayed). Heck, I'd even think about permanantly mounting a cheap android phone in a waterproof case or something to the airbox cover. How cool would that be?

That is essentially what I am doing.

get a new phone!...
is this project for 2008 bikes on up or just lower year ones?

I have a 2007 XB12s, so obviously that is the focus of my initial work. However, the 2008+ ECU has been backwards engineered and documented, so it is possible for that to work; I just don't have a way to test it.

Did this project go any further?
