Description

pyOBD (aka pyOBD-II or pyOBD2) is an OBD-II compliant car diagnostic tool. It is designed to interface with low-cost ELM 32x OBD-II diagnostic interfaces such as ELM-USB. It will basically allow you to talk to your car's ECU, ... display fault codes, display measured values, read status tests, etc. All cars made since 1996 (in the US) or 2001 (in the EU) must be OBD-II compliant, i.e. they should work with pyOBD.

pyOBD is written entirely in Python and was originally written by Donour Sizemore, now maintained and improved by SECONS Ltd. and it is Free Software and is distributed under the terms of the GPL.

Message after installing

You installed pyOBD: OBD-II compliant car diagnostic tool.

pyOBD expects the device /dev/ttyU0 that should be created when you
connect the OBD-II cable.

You need these lines in /etc/devfs.rules to make the device readable
and writable by you. If your user is in the group users:

[localrules=5]
add path 'ttyU*' mode 0660 group users

You also need this line in /etc/rc.conf to allow localrules to take effect:
devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"
