My Setup

I'm using this application on a Windows 10 tablet, with a USB ELM327 OBD-II reader. Bluetooth OBD-II readers are not tested. This application should be able to run on any platform supported by Kivy (python GUI framework), but will likely require changes to do so. There's also a good chance you'll have to fiddle with Prolific USB-to-Serial drivers to get the ELM327 device to work - many of the cheap cables contain counterfeit chips which are ignored by the newest drivers that get loaded automatically by Windows.

Specific Hardware

Asus Windows 10 Tablet/2-in-1 T101HA
USB ELM327 OBD-II Code Reader
Magic Mount XL
