Need to read out diagnostic codes from your car's computer via its ODB-II port and don't want to pay $80+ for a dedicated tool with a small monochrome text display? You can get cheap ($25 or less) ODB-II interfaces:
http://dx.com/p/elm327-bluetooth-obd-ii-wireless-transceiver-dongle-16921 that communicate with Android smartphones via Bluetooth. (I saw these discussed over on the Artisan Asylum discuss list.) Apparently for iOS devices you'll need an ODB-II interface that talks over WiFi. Presumably with the right app you get access to real-time data as you drive, and can catch intermittent faults that are otherwise hard to find. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
