</div>Actually, it's not an unreasonable question, and thinking about it, I<br>
don't think my documentation really answers it. There's an intersection<br>
of features:<br>
<br>
1) The list of columns to log, in logger. It takes that list from any of<br>
command-line, config files, or compile-time. It'll spam stdout with the<br>
items as it reads them live; so if you requested a nonexistent column,<br>
you'd probably never see it on stdout<br>
[man 5 dot-obdgpslogger for the config file info]<br>
<br>
2) The current obdgui is fairly hardcoded to contain just the items<br>
it renders. There's some token attempt at generalisation, but I really<br>
didn't want to spend much time on the GUI.<br>
You can see what my getup looks like in my car in this video:<br>

I literally don't have a display attached. Blue sky stuff includes an<br>
independant GUI that runs on android and gets data from logger on my<br>
sheevaplug via bluetooth. VERY "blue sky".<br></blockquote><div><br>I managed to tweak the GUI as I needed, but yesterday when doing a test drive, some data that did appear in the raw output didn't seem to appear on the display. Dunno, I may just need to test.<br>

3) Which columns the sim simulates, each generator decides for itself.<br>
Cycle [the default] and Random both just generate numbers on the first<br>
0x19 PIDs IIRC. The GUI data generator only generates for the usual five<br>
suspects I always use. The Logger generator only generates data from the<br>
columns it has in the logfile you're simulating. The Error generator<br>
only returns values for PIDs 0x00 and 0x01<br>
[man 1 obdsim actually gives a pretty good explanation of how generators<br>
work, IIRC, although it doesn't explain the PIDs chosen]<br>
<br>
<br>
So the final columns you see in your output are the intersection of all<br>
those things. [eg, if the sim is only simulating 0x05, and logger is<br>
only set to read 0x12, you're gonna have a really boring day].<br></blockquote><div><br>Sounds like I need to make the sim do stuff. Or, just drive around some more. <br></div><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
