HI Walter, apologies to others this is a bit off course of a mac topic but for Walter’s request please see below.
I have successfully set up the ELM327 and using the iPhone 8 took these images (at the Google Drive link here). So this one works fine with a Wifi connection. Note the app I used “car scanner” is one of a number that works for ELM327 units. Establish a Wifi connection to the unit and then follow your nose. Note the free instance I have I can only select 2 engine parameters to log. Probably enough given your earlier emails. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uXsMo_20AXZKs0UAD0T18Ih3qblssLM9 Let me know if any issues with accessing this. I am happy to go off-line and help you with this Walter. It is my hobby so if you want help just ask.
