Peer Reviews [Android] - Open Source Automotive Scan Tool
closed account (3hM2Nwbp)
Project Synopsis: Utilize SAE-J1979 in order to communicate with all 1996 and newer vehicles. This is a free, open source scan tool implementation.
Project Page: https://github.com/LukeLeber/Scandroid
Project Overview:
* View live data obtained through onboard modules
* View freeze-frame data obtained through onboard modules
* Review diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in onboard modules
* Reset diagnostic information (turn off the check engine light)
* Review monitor test information
* Request remote control of onboard systems
* For more information on support (and future support) review the SAE-J1979 document
Unfortunately, this project requires an additional piece of interpreter hardware to communicate with your vehicle. This hardware is called the ELM327 (www.elmelectronics.com) and can be purchased over ebay for under $10 if anyone is interested in actually giving it a test drive.
Currently the only supported interpreter interface is through bluetooth, meaning that the ELM327 hardware must be bluetooth compatible, although I plan on making interfaces for wifi, USB, and SMS (remote connections).
I plan on making manufacturer specific functionality part of Scandroid in the future depending on whether or not I can obtain enough information with my limited project budget ($0).
Cheers!
