Good point. The author of Shadow Dash has recommended I buy one of the serial/USB type C cables that they have tested and found that work. I'll try that and let you know the results. Thanks so much for your help, much appreciated.

I am trying to connect to my vehicle's engine controller. It is a DIY thing, completely programmable. The tablet is supposed to be able to communicate with the controller, upload all the current engine status parameters and display them in graphic form on the tablet. I just tried to connect to a...

Yes. Just the first 8, from Wifi to Location.

Here goes

AhSo! Didn't know about that notification panel. I've read through the owner's manual several times but my poor old brain ain't what it used to be. Anyway, how do I take a screen shot for you and how do I upload it to the forum? If it means anything, the panel doesn't change no matter if I'm...

Sorry I'm having difficulty with this. I don't think I'm stupid, but I've never owned a tablet before and I don't get along well with touch screen devices. So if you don't mind, let's start again. What would you like me to plug the charging cable into? Once done, do you want me to go to...

I'm still not quite sure what you want me to do. If I fire up the tablet and plug the USB cord into my laptop is gives me a notification about low battery charge rate, then another one if I want to allow access, or something like that. The settings-> notifications just give me the same few...

OK. I power up the tablet, connect the cord, plug it into a USB femA/femA coupler and plug in a USB flash drive. Then I go to Settings->Notifications. That gives me App icon badges, Do not disturb and Status bar. Also recently sent Google. That's it.

Another question. I've been corresponding with the designer of Shadow Dash and he tells me that SD communicates using FTDI and that the tablet must support USB host mode. Does my tablet conform to this?

Thanks for your quick reply. I went to notifications but don't see that option, and nothing that looks like it should apply.

Thanks for your come back. Sorry about the "double post" but when it didn't appear I assumed I did something wrong and tried a new thread.

I just purchase a new Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1". I believe the tablet itself is fine as I was able to get it going and download the Apps that I want to use. It's main purpose is to be used as a digital dashboard for a project vehicle that I have running on Megasquirt. There are two Apps that...

Update 2: To make a long story short. The Source lost my tablet and wouldn't replace it so they gave me a refund. I was able to buy a new Tab A 10.1" from Amazon but I am having some problems getting it to work with the equipment I want it to work with. I think the tablet itself is OK because I...

Update. So far so good.The return authorisation arrived this morning and the tablet is on its way back to Barrie Ontario. It took 10 days to get here so I expect it will be the same or more to get back. I'm hoping that they can take it to a Samsung service centre and correct the problem as I...

Thanks for your response. That's kind of what I thought happened. 24 hours has passed so I tried again with a good Google account that I just set up on my PC. Same thing, round in circles. When I contacted The Source earlier today they said they would send me return authorisation, but nothing so...
