alright fellow blades i need a little bit of help. i don't know much about electronics at all so im gonna be straight up. the only things i need this particular piece of equipment for is things like : internet browsing forum browsing real time data logging via OBD2 for some vehicles i have ordering goods off the internet so pretty much i just want it for traveling and when i need it to data log on my vehicles. so my main question is will a cheaper chromebook such as this one be sufficient for my needs? i plan on getting a prepaid data package from a provider such as verizon/at&t/straighttalk http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834131484 thanks in advance for your help friends & cheers
@[member="L337_L0gan"] for 3 out of 4 yes it would be fine. I don't think there is any software for the chromeOS that would do data logging. You would probably be better off with a tablet or a cheap laptop.
Cool thx a lot friend. I wouldve hated to get that and my tuning solution not be compatible with it id be taking/sending it back haha Are there any cheap tablets that you'd recommend ?
bluetooth option, used with Torque or whatever app you choose http://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Bluetooth_Adapters kinda a rip off of a DashHawk http://www.auterraweb.com/
There are a few apps. You have to have the OBDII connector though. And I think that is like $100. The apps are only a few bucks a piece. But yeah, the nexus 7 will work with it via Bluetooth. A buddy of mine uses one in his shop. Uses it more than his Snap On MODIS
It can be useful....but I thought it was a heavy awkward piece of garbage for the money you pay. He seems to like his new setup though.
