A panda and a cabana: How to get started car hacking with comma.ai
Cabana's web interface makes sense of the various signal and sensor information collected by the Panda, analyzing the information and interpreting it on a dashboard for your review. The company posted a video (Comma Cabana) of the software in action, showing off the data collection and analysis in real time.
Using OBDLink LX, it seems the adapter goes to sleep automatically. When this happens, the app won't connect to the adapter. Does anyone here know how to avoid this?

I got the same issue, I can't reconnect to the adapter every time I enter the car. i need to unlpug and plug back in. If anyone has better ideas that would be great.
Note 2: Wireless add-on modules (Bluetooth, WiFi) are unpowered in sleep mode. Therefore, it is not possible to wake up the device over a wireless link.
Haven't seen this before, my MX does not do this. Have you ran other apps that could have set some auto-sleep function? How should it be woken up?
Found this in the STN1110 (which both MX and LX are based on) spec sheet:
So it seems to me you will have to de-configure that sleep mode, or make it sleep 'lighter' if that's an option, keeping the bluetooth chip powered.
Any info on how other apps do this, I recently heard (not tested myself) that TM Spy puts the device asleep. But how does TM Spy wake it back up again, or will you have the same problem with TM Spy, if you have used that app?

I have the same issue. After reading this I ordered another cheap ELM type adaptor that does not have a sleep function. It works with SMT but it’s missing a bunch of values are important to me. I’m guessing all ELM type adaptors are going to have similiar results?
Thanks for the info! I use SMT and TM-Spy on OBDLink LX and both app won't be able to connect after several hours. Haven't tested sending command to the adapter, but in the manual section 10.2, all sleep triggers seem to be off by default. In my case even after factory reset it stops working after several hours. That's why I'm skeptical about sleep being the cause of the problem.The problem is an ELM device is too slow to get all the data, and the more rare packets will drown in other traffic and never get picked up. That is why the app has different tabs, and hardware filters that lets the OBD device filter out the packets you show. Try the default tabs, they should all be working well with any ELM device, but the All tab will be stuttering. (The readings you've gotten in other tabs will also show up under All, but might not update if lost in traffic)
About killing batteries, my OBDLink MX has been plugged in more or less 24/7 for 2 years, I do not buy the guy saying his battery dies every 3 days. How many milliamps can a dongle like this really pull? Not much.
While the sleep function sounds great, OBDLink's own manual (that I quoted further up) states that asleep the wireless is off, and there is no way to wake the adapter up again. Unless, perhaps if the canbus goes completely silent when your car sleeps, and the new traffic when the car wakes will wake the car?
I did flash my MX a while back, but maybe there's a new firmware now that is causing this behaviour?
About sleep settings, Scan My Tesla does NOT change these. But it looks from that thread that Torque does?
The whole command set is here: https://www.scantool.net/downloads/98/stn1100-frpm.pdf
You can use an app (I have used BlueTerm) or your PC to connect to the adapter, and type any of these commands directly to your adapter.
For fun, you can type 'STM' and see what Scan My Tesla will see.
Let me know what you find.
I would prefer that Scan My Tesla does not mess with people's adapter settings, unless it is really required for the app to work.
So, I was able to turn off the sleep functions via a BT terminal. I’ll see if that fixes things.
Found BlueTerm app on Android. It connects to the adapter, but doesn't show command prompt as described in the manual. I tried to SLCS<CR> and STSLCS<CR>but no response. It echoes back what I typed, so the connection is indeed working.So, I was able to turn off the sleep functions via a BT terminal. I’ll see if that fixes things.

What app did you use?
Also I found that when the adapter is not connecting to SMT, the power LED is on and not blinking. This means, according to the manual, the adapter is not sleeping...

The app tries to connect, and displays "initializing adapter" message. After that error is displayed.So the adapter is not sleeping after all.
Can you explain what the app does, or does not do? Error messages? Will it work with a restart of the app, or re-select bluetooth adapter?

Rebooting app or phone doesn't fix this. When I disconnect the adapter from TDC and reconnect, it starts working again. Will test tomorrow using Bluetooth Terminal app to disable sleep just in case.
In my case when SMT stops working, TM-Spy also stops working. It is not the case that the phone lost pairing with OBDLink LX, because after disconnecting and reconnecting the adapter, it works again.It almost seems like it's a phone /adapter issue where it won't automatically re-pair. Did your other app work without resetting the adapter?
