Well that sucked. Apple's 8.0.2 iOS update screwed with the Bluetooth library a little bit so I spent the weekend tracking that down and getting the app up-to-date. Then there's all the updates for the 6/6+ iPhones just to get the app submitted. If you're having issues with 8.0.2 the update is in the pipe, waiting for Apple to review it. Should be working on all iOS devices once the 1.0.3 update is approved.
I'm almost finished with the charting/datalogging update. I bought a house in the last few weeks so that's been slowing the process down a little but I'm just about ready to push that out. I need to add in the labels/data fields to the top ribbon for all gauges then finally point the bluetooth adapter at the object that receives and processes the data.
I finally finished the udpate for iOS charting/datalogging. Here's some pics from my iPhone 4s in landscape (dual chart +volts) and portrait (quad chart + volts) with some made up data:
It supports up to an hour of recording data that you can swipe back through and review. Pinch to zoom in or out, pause/play to reset the screen to the default view. The chart will resize based on the data that is sent from the Chariot Gauge controller. Tap a data point when paused to see what the actual value is on the data labels at the top. I submitted the update to Apple, should be available sometime this upcoming week for anyone with the iOS app!
Is this generic for OBD systems? Can it be hooked up to stock sensors? Say the Oil pressure, Volts, Temp, Vacuum? My brother would like to monitor his stock OBD0 Integra if that is possible on stock sensors.

Yes, the Chariot Gauge controller concept is to connect directly to the sensors so cars and trucks that are pre-OBDII can use it. The typical application is to purchase the sensors independent of the stock sensors and use them along with the OEM stuff. It's a little tricky to use the stock sensors due to sharing the analog signals with the ECU. The volts and vacuum can be shared no problem, the more difficult sensors are the oil pressure and temp. Fortunately those two sensors can be had for around $20 each if you decide to go that route.
Here's a good read of what is required to use the stock sensors with megasquirt. In this case you would be using the Chariot Gauge controller instead of megasquirt but the idea stands:
A new controller will start rolling out this week so you can connect iPhone/iPads and Androids to the same controller! This removes the need for a separate controller for each platform. Initial tests look good, after a few firmware tweaks it should be good to go!
hi, i have purchased one of this products.
I need your helo connecting the wideband bosch LSU4.2
this is the pinout of the wideband
this is the chariots
i need to connect the pins 6 and 9 on chariots to what pin on the wideband?
Another question, can chariots gauge be connected to the car ecu pin d14 for datalogging with crome pro??
Where can i have a wideband output from the chariots??
Hey! Sorry for the delayed response, I don't check this thread much any more since there was not much activity. You can always reach me directly at mmeyer@chariotgauge.com.
To answer your question, you need some sort of wideband controller connected to the LSU4.2 sensor. There is some good information on this here: Wiring the LSU4 Sensor
To connect the Chariot Gauge controller to the wideband controller simply hookup the green wire from Chariot Gauge controller to the wideband's signal output. Connect the brown wire from the Chariot Gauge controller to the wideband's ground.
To answer your second question - the Chariot Gauge controller does not have pass-through functionality to output the data to another system like Chrome or Megasquirt.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
