OBD-II CAN-BUS DEV KIT

Introduction


This kit allows you to interface with your vehicle's OBD-II interface. The kit includes a Serial CAN Bus module as well as a OBD-II Connector, with this kit you can get data from your vehicle easily. We provide an tutorial which is based on Arduino.

OBD-II (short for On-Board Diagnostics, Second Generation) is a set of standards for implementing a computer based system to control emissions from vehicles. It was first introduced in the United States in 1994, and became a requirement on all 1996 and newer US vehicles. Other countries, including Canada, parts of the European Union, Japan, Australia, and Brazil adopted similar legislation. A large portion of the modern vehicle fleet supports OBD-II or one of its regional flavors.

Hardware Connection

The kit includes an OBD-II connector, below is pins define of the connector.

The kit includes a cable as well, you need a soldering iron to connect the cable to the connector. As shown below.

The OBD-II connect wired as below:

Getting Started with Arduino

Here we will make a demo to read some value from a vehicle with an Arduino.

Download Arduino library of the board from Github

Open the example "obd_demo".

For this example, we use D2 as RX of software serial, D3 as TX. So you should connect D2 to TX of Serial can bus module, and D3 to RX.

After upload the sketch to Arduino, you can try connect OBD-II connector to your vehicle.

Open you serial monitor, try to input an OBD-PIDs, see if you can get some values from your vehicle.
