Bootmod3 boost gauge config question

Hello.

I just got a bootmod3 wifi agent. I want to view turbo boost but I can't configure the channel in a way to show me boost pressure properly. I've tried a few configurations and I see really weird numbers or the gauge stays at 0.
What options do I need to change (and which gauge do I need) in order to see boost in PSI the same way it was shown on JB4.

TY!

Use the map sensor for boost

I figured it out. This app is so slow in terms of refresh rate, I tried many different refresh rates. And it constantly goes out.
Going to return the WiFi adapter. The JB4 app was so much smoother.

Anyone have any gauge monitoring app recommendations?

That’s odd. Mine flies. What phone are you using? I’m on iPhone XS.

My agent is good as well. Real-time data on the dashboard using older iphone. Maybe try reinstalling the app on your phone and updating/reinstalling the wifi agent software. Also maybe you have a bad odb cable.

To see boost just go to the dashboard and click on the + at the bottom of the screen. Type boost and you’ll have 3 options. Pre-throttle shows your boost.

Are you using the official obd2 agent? I bought a homemade one off eBay
iPhone 7.

I built mine myself using the DIY thread. I’d recommend taking the microSD card out and rebuild the software for the Wi-Fi agent. You can follow along here.

I’m using iphone7 as well
If that doesn’t work it might be cuz the seller used a raspberry pi 3B+ which according to the thread doesn’t work. If you open the case and take a look to see which board is used that could save you some time.
