CAN Bus 04: Dash Board

This sketch shows how to get the most important parameters from a vehicle using the standard OBD-II PIDs codes. This codes are used to request data from a vehicle, used as a diagnostic tool.

Required Materials

1 x Waspmote 1 x Battery 1 x CAN Bus 1 x OBD cable

Notes

- Waspmote must be powered with a battery - CAN Bus was designed to work in automotive applications, but it can be used in other communication areas. - The CAN Bus library integrates the most important PID functions, but it does not include all of them. - This example can be executed in Waspmote v12 and Waspmote v15
