The SmartOBD is an open-source, customizable, and accessible OBD scanner and user interface, targeted towards individuals who aren't mechanics but want an easy way of reading their car's on board diagnostics (OBD) system. It is comprised of the physical OBD scanner as well as a supplementary user interface that presents over 200 pieces of data from the OBD in an understandable manner for the user.
The associative website is comprised of three parts: a home dashboard, a data log of previous OBD readings, and a live log page that displays current OBD readings. The user can create an account with multiple cars so that they can view the dashboard, history log, and live log for each of their cars. The dashboard presents the most important information to the user, including various temperatures and pressures, scanning history, and miles traveled since previously scanned.
Ultimately, the SmartOBD helps car owners become more informed about the condition of their vehicles without constantly having to visit a mechanic. It provides a wealth of information in a readable manner, including the status of the malfunction indicator light, diagnostic trouble codes, inspection and maintenance information, freeze frames, VIN, hundreds of real-time metrics. For users who are more knowledgeable about cars, it provides them the opportunity to utilize that it is open-source and customize which commands they'd like to see and clear codes.
Take your SmartOBD and USB-to-OBD-II adapter, and plug the USB into your computer and the OBD-II adapter into your car's OBD port (it's usually located under the dashboard, beneath the steering wheel).
Open up the user interface and create an account.
