Builds against mingw/msys to produce a completely cygwin-free tasty experience!
Uses com0com to present virtual com port!
Almost no bugs!



Comes as part of OBD GPS Logger. Windows version only available in subversion right now.

Disclaimers: "Almost no bugs" may or may not be accurate. Untested against build systems other than mingw. Supported ELM features "limited" at best. Untested with most windows OBDII programs. Open source and free. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. May turn into fleshreaper after midnight and snack on loved ones and/or firstborn.

I have recently purchased an ELM327 interface off Ebay and have used Hyperterminal to successfully send and receive a few commands to it at 38400 baud. I would like to now use OBD-DIAG which looks like really great software with the interface. I downloaded Version 1.01.02 of OBD-DIAG but it doesn’t recognize the interface since I suspect the program defaults to 9600 baud. I only see a way to change the COM port but not the speed. Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the speed of the software (perhaps through the OBD-DIAG.ini file)? I have tried sending an email to support@obd-diag.com as shown in the “About” section of the program but the message bounced back saying undeliverable. Thank you.

Basically, just want to know how I could read RPM and based on a threshold, power a 12v device. If RPM dips back below that threshold then I'd want to drop power.

And this application would have to be 99.9% reliable on newer vehicles.

i just started interacting using OBDII protocol with my car (RAV4) through a VB program i did.

I managed to find out the standard PIDs such as RPM, Speed etc but i have not managed to find anything related to current speed.

After some googling, i was pointed to the PID 19F5 but with no information on what mode it should be used.

Does anyone have any idea of how to get the current gear ?

Thanks in advance

I have been watching these forums for about 6 months now and have found a great deal of useful knowledge :thumb: . It fact it was this forum which inspired me to do my final year project on OBDII.

I am currently doing my final year project at Huddersfield University in the UK, I have created a blog which I will record all my progress on, it maybe useful for anybody wanting to start their own projects, who knows.

http://obdii.wordpress.com/

Project Title - Creating an Advanced Driver Assistance Interface to increase driver awareness using Human Computer Interaction.

So that's it really, I will try to play an active part in these forums over the next year or so, all comments are welcome on my blog, or any information that would help with my project.

Thanks for Listening

I would like to see if there are any projects working on plugins for either centrafuse or RR or any other software that can interface with can-bus. I'm not looking to pull engine codes or get live data (would be nice but not necessary). More importantly I'd like to be able to gain access to the MFD and steering wheel buttons. I know that BMW i-bus has been thoroughly hacked but has anyone made any progress for can-bus cars?

This is what I got from comparing the two websites:

• both have support for the same OBD Protocols
• both are user upgradeable
• both expand on the ELM327 (but don't actually contain the chip?)
• both have available right-angle connectors, same cable lengths, etc
• both baud rates start at 9600bps to 1.4Mbps(OBDLink) and 2Mbps(OBDPro)
• both have expanded memory buffers (but to what extent?)
• both are similarly sized
• OBDPro is less expensive at $81.70 ($69.95 scanner + $3.00 connector + $8.75 USPS Priority to NY) compared to OBDLink at $138.60 ($119.95 + $4.95 connector + 13.70 USPS Priority)
• OBDLink has a longer money-back gaurantee/warranty period at 90 days/3 years compared to OBDPro at 30 days/1 year.
• OBDLink has optional bluetooth connectivity at an additional cost
  
• OBDPro has ability to switch to low-power draw when PC is turned off: less strain on battery when plugged in

So then, what am I missing? If I've made an error, please correct me.

I don't mean to intentionally insult nor promote either party. I'm just trying to understand the difference between the two products.

ScanTool.net developed a module (microOBD) that combines an ELM327-compatible OBD interpreter chip with all the necessary OBD drivers, in a single 1x2 in. package.



It is not available for purchase yet, I'm posting here to see if there is any interest, and to get feedback from potential users.
