I got my ELM usb adapter from SECONS in Prague, around 100 years ago. You can tell it's old by the brass and mahogany case it's in. (KIDDING!) Also the fact that it uses a USB mini connector.

2022-12-10 back looking at this, at least a hundred years have elapsed (Linux time) since I started this page.

Car hacking or CAN hacking, your preference https://illmatics.com/carhacking.html

CAN interfaces

Pi CAN Board Controller Area Network based on the MCP2515 controller.

There is the WICAN from Meat Pi, based on the ESP32C3, here is their github page. https://github.com/meatpiHQ/wican-fw

SEEED Studio CAN-BUS module and the ODB II CAN BUS development kit, each about about $20

There is a newer Seeed Studio "Serial CAN FD module", $4.90, I bought two, from Digikey. See https://docs.longan-labs.cc/114992978/ It has its own MCU, it's a GD32E103 which is based on the ARM Cortex M4. (Of course)

Software: https://github.com/nopnop2002/esp-idf-CANBus-Monitor There is an ESP32-C3 version.

Dashboards

"RealDash" looks like it might be fun. It runs on Android, maybe I could use an old phone or tablet. I have enough of those now.

microOBD

Sparkfun UBM32 controller: USB 32-Bit Whacker - PIC32MX795 Development Board $40

320x240 LCD

Resources

Elm Electronics the folks who make the interface.

OBDtester and pyOBD

OBD Auto Doctor Free and paid versions, including Linux. The paid version is $20 per year.

Python

There are around 700 forks of pyobd... the one that shows up in pypi.org I think appears to be Brendan Whitfield's.

This one looks interesting too though. barracuda-fsh / pyobd
