I just payed someone $100 to tell me which wheel sensor is bad on my buick rendezvous. They told me which on it was and said that for another $100 they would install it, (the part costs $89 so I had to at that point) I recently bought a USB cable to hook up to the obd2 sensor but I have no idea where to start. I make engine monitoring systems for aircraft so I know electronics but I’m not to savvy with programming. Can someone point me in the right direction to be able to read my obd2? THANKS A TON

I would love to buy one of these. Is there a place where you can order one?

Cliff, The ducati uses a Cann network. ODB II is not supported on it. You can get a rig from dashpro that will not only allow you to read the data from the unit but err write new data say like odometer etc..

Sofware is free on internet, with search, What I need is something that will write to the obd, so I can do a liottle programming.

I just tested this on my Nissan Altima. Works like a charm!

If this device works like ELM323 (the author says that it is compatible) would it be then possible to use it with another PIC or Atmel that would request&read data and display it on a LCD display? Is it possible to connect two microcontrollers via it’s USB?!

Isn't this better since it covers 4 common protocols?

If I wanted to do it myself. whats the cheapest option to get the PCB made with the provided data? Thanks

I cannot find any good software for Linux… Anybody got a good source for this?

I believe there’s free software out there to interface to these ELM style devices…

This hardware interface only works with a subset of the available OBD-2 protocols. It does not work with J1850 PWW, J1850 VPW and CAN (controller area networks). The CAN interface is now standard on all 2007 vehicles. So before you invest time and effort in this device, make sure that your vehicle has an ISO-9141-2 or KWP2000 interface, otherwise, you’re out of luck.

Where the source code?
I like to be able add features.
