I'm tried the Bluetooth and Serial example on this site, but both lock up. Anyone else trying OBD via bluetooth? Upvote 0

Stulish Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 11, 2013 #4 Has anyone managed to get the OBD2 bluetooth going. I used the example and the recieve timer tick sub is below, it returns a valid response when i send a PID and then hangs. Code: Sub RecieveTimer_tick Dim tempString As String If Connected=True AND TextReader1.Ready=True Then tempString = TextReader1.ReadLine EditText1.Text = EditText1.Text & "<" & tempString & CRLF Log("<<" & tempString) End If End Sub Its as if there is nothing in the buffer but it still returns ready and then the app sits at the TextReader1.ReadLine statement. Im still playing, but if anyone had any luck and would like to share please do Any ideas Cheers Stu Upvote 0
