Re: Master Board Version 3

Thanks for the prompt reply. I added on the list, one more relay control for heating/cooling is that possible to fit in V3 (this could be a commercial standalone unit ala gardening thermostat/sauna timer with its own settings to make it easier)? Also, let me explain the ODBII question, I was just thinking along the lines of displaying standard library information, i.e. from the list of known PIDs on the bus. So, there shouldn't be anything tricky or above your planned Honda IMA/BCM functionality, is that going to be Insight2 comapatible too (or that's V4 and beyond stuff - I've seen the related threads on insightforums)?
PS I think the approach of "recycling" older pda for touchscreen dash has got multiple advantages, firstly you can done this same task by dedicated carputer+7" touchlcd, but this is more cheaper and compact package.
Imagine you can not only display, log the data, but relatively easily redistribute (clone) the incomming [serial] information from the pda over existing home LAN/wifi network, or bluetooth and such by some 3rd party tools/applications already done/available for this platform, e.g. look for incoming serial data -> redistribution data on LAN kind of application (I run it myself in the GPS data cloning area of interest). We simply piggy back on this existing user friendly stuff. Another advantage, we are not dependent on the pda's frontend anymore, you can hook it up to any data crunching-user interface visualisation type of application there is be it for PC, could be bare web browser based stuff (incl. mobile web browser) or mobile (JAVA) capability.
Simply, put the BMS_Master serial data on the LAN via PDA = great potential for remote monitoring (V3). And perhaps in later stages and with some more coding or just customization of existing tools even operating some advanced bidirectional on/off functions (charger, temp manager, A/C control, ..), or simple RSS channel, since these need running server based service application (on your router) lets call that (V4) for a moment, although some of these could be done easily with V3 already.
