1. Introduction
This document describes the Android AdapTrackIt App which can be used to display live
Adaptronic Select ECU values and log data for subsequent analysis.
2. Hardware Requirements
The following hardware is required to run the AdapTrackIt App:
The Adaptronic ECU has a USB 2.0 Type B Jack so requires a USB 2.0 Type B plug (see
left connector in Figure 1 below).
Most Android devices have a USB 2.0 Micro Type B Jack so require a USB 2.0 Micro Type
B plug (see right connector in Figure 1 below).
Figure 1: USB 2.0 Type B and USB 2.0 Micro Type B Plugs
Finding an OTG USB cable with these connectors has proved difficult however OTG USB
adapters can be used with the more commonly available USB 2.0 Type B to USB 2.0 Type
A cables:

3. Overview
The design goal of the AdapTrackIt App was to replace the instrument cluster and present
as much information as possible to the driver whilst still being readable at a glance while
driving.

In this AFR gauge example, both Low and High thresholds have been defined:
When the AFR value lies between the Minimum and Low Threshold values, the
Gauge level is displayed in the Low Threshold colour.
When the AFR value lies between the Low Threshold and High Threshold values,
the Gauge level is displayed in the Normal colour.
When the AFR value lies between the High Threshold and Maximum values, the
Gauge level is displayed in the High Threshold colour.
