Aims

1 Develop a system that allows for on-screen viewing of interesting stats from ODB data.

2 Develop hardware to display these data on the car's dash board.

Objectives

These are directly connected to the numbered aims above.

1.1 Get ScanTool to run on debian/ubuntu using a USB ODB cable.

1.2 Convert ScanTool into a component; stream-line the project so that it streams data for interpretation and display in another application.

1.3 Develop software that takes data from this ScanTool-derived component and disply it in a GUI.

2.1 Develop a way for the GUI application to interact with hardware that can drive dashboard devices.

2.2 Develop and construct dashboard hardware.

2.3 Extent the app created objective 1.3 to pass data to the dashboard components.

Objective 1.1

Objective 1.2

This will be done by stripping down the GUI and making it dump all data to standard-out. The final objective here is to eventually remove all the GUI.

  • The first step was to get all files in source control. This was done using git.
  • The next stage was to get a tool-chain running to facilitate development work.
    • Eclipse (with c add-ons installed) will be used.
    • Importing existing code and make-file as an eclipse project was done using these instructions.
