RE: [opendiag] OBD2 interface and a Linux PDA

Hi

We are about to release an alpha version of ODBII scantool stuff for Linux.

Its early version, only supports K line type interfaces [not VPW/PWM ones as
I dont have a VPW/PWM car], and isnt GUI based.

It will be opensource, and on sourceforge.

It supports "Jeffs" interface (and the Andy Whittaker derivative), the
Multiplex-Engineering interface and the Silicon Engines interface. I dunno
anything about Alex's interface but I would imagine its similar to Jeff/Andy
[i.e a rs232 to K line converter][anyone got some more details of Alex's
interface ??]

Im just trying to make time to do some web pages etc and test the code on my
new PC after my development box and my power supply blew up :-( Its sort of
been sat on my box waiting for a couple of months now ...

Andy Whittaker is working on porting it to Windows aswell

One of us will write VW specific code soon [I need to borrow someone else's
Audi stereo to complete that]

Regards
Richard

Subject: [opendiag] OBD2 interface and a Linux PDA

I've got Alex Peper's OBD2 hardware which I used with his win16
software on my OS/2 laptop. Worked fine but now I have a Sharp Zaurus
PDA which runs Linux and I'm planning on using it as my MP3 player and
maybe GPS system for my Toyota Prius. I'd like to connect to Alex's
OBD2 hardware too but I've found very little with regard to Linux
software for OBD-II hardware interfaces.

Is there any Linux OBD-II software hackers out there using Alex's OBD2
hardware? Or ANY OBD-II hardware interfaces?

Thanks.
