Hi

i was interested in developing an automotive app using livecode, has anyone done something like this before with livecode ? would livecode be capable of doing this type of application ?

Hi,

Could you please define "automotive"? What about the second part in your title?

I help a little with an inventory database for a garage, 20 years ago, but I have no clue if that's what you're looking for.

Kind regards,

well its more relating to communication with the vehicle electronics, reading and identifying faults. I own a reverse engineering company who does research of algorithms for going much deeper. i am looking to use those algo together with a wifi connector which i have created to interrogate different control units in the vehicle for specific information. i have all the protocol info + algorithms but i just need to code the app which i am trying to do now...

hope this make sense, the protocols in my subject are the communication protocols used to communicate with the vehicle from the manufacturers diagnostic port (obd2) in every vehicle since 1995+

Hi,

If the WIFI works like a server, from which data can be downloaded, then LiveCode can parse these data after downloading them with the put/get URL commands. Can you tell a little more about the technical requirements to get access to the data? The algorithms are unimportant at this stage.

Kind regards,
