Hi, ive been here for a while reading etc, but havent posted much around here.
But my first question is.. Is anyone of you using MSdroid for android phone. There site isnt much msDroid :: MegaSquirt configuration and log recorder / viewer for Android and here is the msextra forum about MSdroid Megasquirt MSEXTRA / MS3EFI • MSDroid (View forum)
I'm do not have installed my MS3x yet but my package is ready to pick up.
ive already downloaded it and it seems to be fairly good.

I've used it some with my MS1 over bluetooth. It's got a lot of potential, but as shuiend said, it's not a replacement for TunerStudio and a laptop. I've found a few bugs with it since installing it on my phone, and some of them have already been fixed but I think that some are still waiting on an update.
If I recall correctly, it's still considered to be in alpha or beta testing stages, so things aren't 100% yet. It's basically an enthusiasts' project, so updates come as they have time to improve the code, but are not guaranteed on any time table.

Yes you can. As long as your Serial to USB adapter uses the FTDI chipset. MSDroid has the correct drivers built in. Your phone or tablet must support USB OTG though.

MSDroid is kind of half way between a bunch of gauges and a full-on tuning laptop. You still need a laptop because TunerStudio VE Analyze is magic and should be the main tool while street tuning.
MSDroid still allows you to do a few things in a pinch without a full-on laptop.
MSDroid also is great for fixed installations - e.g. in-dash mounted tablet.
As of the latest version of MSDroid you don't need bluetooth and you can either use the native USB cable with MS3 or the Serial-to-USB adapter.

yeah - I'm having issues too. I thought since I could use a keyboard and mouse from my phone it'd just work... But somehow I can't connect to the MS3. It tries to get version number (after auto-starting on attachment of OTG cable + plugging into USB - i.e. it sees a serial port) but then... nothing.
My laptop was having issues with serial coms with the MS, too, but that was only when I was haxoring zietronix windows software on wine at the same time as TS on the same linux laptop and I figured it wasn't the MS's fault....

Edit: Somehow they don't support this version of MS quite right. Copied an INI in and up and running, sort of.
