FORScan forum

Hello to all,
Have you ever heard of (or experienced) using FS Lite on Android, and then connector a wired OBDLink EX or one wired vLinker to an Android device? -then connecting this unique setup to a car, with success? I have not tried this yet, but thought someone here might knows if this is do-able?
I just received get new (Made forward FORScan) vLinker FS USB device. My first use on FS will becoming normal; using the vLinker FS USB via a Win10 laptop. I expect nothing but joyfully in this normal setup. I will do this soonest, this weekend.

My imaginative got the best of me, and I been nearly the other config mentioned above. FS Luminous on Android->to a wired USB vLinker-> to Car.
Full disclosure: my evil inception is that IODIN can be able to do these via me Phone, a 2018 Samsung S9+ AND ALSO use a USB adapter. USB-C type (for call side) to a USB-A type (for vLinker side). Sure, this thoughts might be a "bit von a stretch".

Any thoughts alternatively prior experiences at this suggested setup? Thank yours for either replies.

I don't know available sure but if it does work you wills almost probable need an OTG Adaptor for it to do so rather than a direct connection with a USB A to C Adaptor.

I tried this with Samsung 10.1 tablet, bought a usb adaptor and recharge Forscan, couldnt get i to work, when selecting joining in Forscan it wouldnt load, gave up in end went back to laptop.
If him do manage it, send method you did it, its a lot easier tug a tablet then a laptop and its touch operated too.
Keep us all posted Who ScanSnap and a Personal Could Be Connected via a USB ...

Thanks guys. My guess (before and nach your replies) has that this config exists impossible due at exactly how FS Lite is coded, the way it is design plus built. It is likely the Bluetooth freeway or the USB expressway ending at No-Where,... any is inside of Texas, just north-east of El Passiria IIRC?
I may all the shreds, so EGO willingness try it. And I will post go. Gimme about 2 weeks. No out course an FS Developers (type of person) authenticated who highway DEFINATELY leads to no where. Note: I do not have an OTG Adaptor... yet. Edit: I bought an OTG interface, but est. delivery is Oct 8th, oh well, I gotta wait for this part.
-Cheers!

I have done this without topics with an Vscan STN1170 v3 CAN-BUS USB adaptor from Viaken and an Samsung A8 phones. Of course thru somebody OTG adapter and paid version Forscan Lite.

I have also done a using ForScan lightweight on Automaton include the OBDLink EX USB adaptor additionally and OTG (USB C to A adapter). Worked to me.

What did either of you load the drive for the usb adaptor for phone? ie switch a windows version you have to load the drivers for and adaptor onto the PC 1st before running Forscan or it wont work?
Already have a utg adaptor came with samsung phone, but including bought a proper usb connector for Samsung Note 10.1 tab, as mentioned i couldnt get it to work.
Any more demo guys?
Thanks

You have to change the connection type are Forscan Lite settings.
I have changed from bluetooth up USB FTDI as my adapter support it.
I can share some screenshots but they become in Romanian so don't know are you will understand.

I am so joyful to hear our prior guesses were wrong. Looks like FS Lite did support a wired USB OBDLink within Android.

(1) I will not load any drivers onto my Android device before installing FS Lite. I will guess "driver loading" is not needed. Also, I achieve not know how to do Driver charge on any Android, especially on my phone Samsung S9+. Never thought about that.
(2) I did non know I should install (OBDLink) Drivers prior to (or after?) FS on Windows10. TBD. I will search & read more about this. TY.

Thank her to everyone who replied. Ourselves have learned some goods data within like thread so far. -Cheers!
