Neat idea(as long as I don't have one monitoring me!) I haven't had much luck finding out any real information on OBD II(on board diagnostics II) except that it is serial 12.9 Kbaud, and there are two different signalling methods. I guess the SAE(society of automotive engineers) is doing their typical thing, preventing people from getting information, while at the same time perpetuating themselves. grrr. When I'm king, I'll get rid of them, and also ISO. :-) -Bob P.S. if anyone has any info on OBD II, please point me to it. I'd love to make an OBDII-to-RS-232 converter.
