[obdgpslogger] New to list

[Allan Macdonald]

Hello list,

I am new to this list so please bear with me if I ask a stupid question!

My initial goal is to use obdsim under Ubuntu on my laptop to act as a 
fake ELM327 that can communicate via bluetooth with an android phone 
running Torque Lite, just as a fun exercise to see what that program is 
doing.

After a painful effort getting all my dependencies sorted out, I am now 
successfully able to build and install obdgpslogger. However, when I try 
to run the program: obdsim -b, I see the following message: "SimPort 
name: Not yet connected".  I have paired my computer's bluetooth with 
the android device and selected my computer in Torque Lite but Torque 
Lite is not able to find the adaptor.

I don't understand very much about any of this yet so this is probably 
the first of many stupid questions I will be asking as I begin to 
explore this stuff.  Any idea what I might be doing wrong here?  Are 
there any tips that can help me get started?  I have tried googling but 
have not been able to find a working solution so far.  Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Allan
