Thread: OBD Setup / Linux

I use a self improved version of scantool/freediag from freediag.sourceforge.net with a home compiled kernel 2.4.
I already tested sucessefuly the same software in a standard DSL distribution.
DSL is based on knoppix and knoppix is based on debbian...
My hardware is a AlfaDiag KKL from Andy:

I can read errorcodes, MIL status and the folowing realtime data from my 2003 Mercedes-Benz E-Class:

Code:

I realise this thread is now thoroughly dated, but I thought I'd pimp myself anyways, just in case anyone is subscribed to this thread.

I've written a tool called OBD GPS Logger that runs on Linux and OSX. It has its own sub-forum on these forums here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/obdii-gps-logger/. I just finished doing a new release that adds a UI, so now it's starting to look like something someone other than me might actually want to use...

The homepage is here: http://icculus.org/obdgpslogger/

Have fun,

but i took linux out of my carputer so just windows now, but since program in java works on anything.

oh but this is on an 22 year old car with gm obd-1.

I am interested in the program you are using, since I am running a Ford with ODB-I. I realize that Ford and GM ODB-I programs are not the same, but hopefully I could find a Ford version where you got your program from. Many years back I remember a gentleman who wrote one (don't remember which flavor) and it was available for download. That was many moons and a computer or two back.
My vehicle is circa 1992.
