MSDroid

MSDroid is an application designed for tuning MegaSquirt and Speeduino Engine Control Units (ECUs) using Android devices. This app provides users with an integrated platform to create customized dashboards, perform ECU tuning, and record data logs directly from their smartphones or tablets. MSDroid allows for seamless interaction with the vehicle’s ECU, making it a practical tool for enthusiasts and professionals alike. The app supports a wide range of device sizes, from smartphones to tablets, ensuring that users can utilize it comfortably on their preferred device. Its layouts are specifically optimized to fit the screen size of the device in use, enhancing the user experience. MSDroid requires read and write access to storage to function correctly, as it stores essential files including project definitions, INI files, MSQ files, and MSL log files. Users must grant this access for the app to operate effectively. To connect to the vehicle's ECU, MSDroid can utilize either a Bluetooth to RS232 (serial) interface or a USB to RS232 (serial) interface if the device supports USB Host mode. For users of MS3, having a device with USB Host capability simplifies the connection process, as they only need a USB cable to get started thanks to the app's internal FTDI USB interface.

About:

A complete fully-integrated application for MegaSquirt providing everything you need on your phone or tablet for beautiful dashboards full ECU tuning and configuration datalog recording and powerful graphical reviewing of datalogs including simultaneous map GPS route. Support is for MS1 MS2 and MS3 including the MS/Extra variants.

MSDroid needs read/write access to storage to store project definitions INI files MSQ files and MSL log files. It will not work if you deny it access.

Features:

Flexible multi-page dashboard that can be customised. Widgets (such as gauges) can be arranged as you like using a drag-and-drop editing style.

Logging.

Powerful integrated datalog viewer which allows logs to be viewed in traditional graph form, together with an optional map to show GPS route information. This datalog viewer actually shows data along a true time axis rather than on record basis, meaning it represents time accurately even if data sampling rate is inconsistent. The synchronized cursors make it easy to see exactly where you were on your route or racetrack corresponding to a particular cursor position in your datalog.

Support for all tuning screens, including table and curve editors. (Some tuning pages are blank or unavailable and are work in progress; please email me if a particular dialog is missing that you want us to make higher priority.)

MSDroid is driven by traditional Megasquirt .ini files. If the application doesn't come with the correct .ini for your particular ECU, you can easily add it.

Carefully designed to support all device sizes from phones to tablets, with layouts optimised to suit your particular device's screen size.

MSDroid is used with either a Bluetooth to RS232 (serial) interface or, if your device supports USB Host mode, you can use a USB to RS232 (serial) interface. If you have a device that supports USB Host and you're a user of MS3 then all you then need is a USB cable, thanks to MS3's internal FTDI USB interface!

Conclusion:

The application is specifically designed for MegaSquirt and Speeduino ECUs, and it is important to note that it does not support OBD2. This specialization allows MSDroid to focus on providing a robust toolset tailored for these specific engine management systems. Users looking to enhance their vehicle's performance through precise tuning will find MSDroid to be an effective solution. The combination of customizable dashboards, comprehensive logging capabilities, and powerful datalog viewing tools makes it a valuable asset for anyone involved in tuning MegaSquirt or Speeduino ECUs. With the ability to connect via Bluetooth or USB and to log and analyze performance data efficiently, MSDroid stands out as a practical choice for automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike. The app's straightforward interface and feature-rich environment facilitate a smooth tuning experience, allowing users to focus on optimizing their vehicle's performance.
