@barracuda-fsh, many thanks for maintaining and enhancing this cool piece of software. I just received a brand new Chinese ELM327 v1.5. It works just fine on Ubuntu 20.04 by using OBD commands with 'sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 38400': I was among others able to retrieve trouble codes. I can't get it to connect with pyobd with the below error messages. Where should I get started to debug the connection?

Thank you.

I need to check if connecting to the car works with practically any ELM327 adapter and possibly fix it if some don't work. If someone has issues, feel free to comment and I will try to fix them also.

It probably works on all USB ELM327 adapters(especially original ones, not copies).

So far these have been confirmed to work: -OBDPro USB Scantool (http://www.obdpros.com/product_info.php?products_id=133) -OBDLink SX (https://www.obdlink.com/products/obdlink-sx/) -Chinese USB ELM OBD2 (1.5a) ...

Regarding menu OBDII > Configure

If you change one setting in configure, all settings in .pyobdrc are overwritten.

This was problematic for me because neither AUTO in baud rate or in comport worked. The configure UI has no option to manually enter a comport. I manually edited .pyobrc to set comport=/dev/cuaU0. Later I edited baudrate in the configure dialog and did not realize that the value of comport was overwritten to the hardcoded value of AUTO.

If one does not ever use the configure dialog, then one avoids their configuration being overwritten.

Regarding menu OBDII > Disconnect and menu File > Exit

Neither of these UI elements seems to have any effect. The only way to exit pybobd is to use CTRL-C in the terminal where I started pyobd.

Hello, This application is interesting, but you need an easy way to deploy this application if you want to attract simple users without describing them how to install Python. My decision is not the best one but at least it will give users a simple way to run application. I suggest to use pyInstall and github action for auto deploy.

#FeatureRequest

First of all I'm so happy i found this new version that rely works...

It would be super nice if it was possible to record some graphs to be able to analyze it later and to keep it as documentation of my car.

Thank you for supporting this valuable app!

Are there any plans to provide an Arch User Repository "package" (the PKGBUILD script)?

There is already an original package with no maintainer. If you're serious with the development the package could be repurposed.

Currently there are only limited amount of linux support that may cause issues on some popular distributions.

Please introduce a modern Flatpak package and publish it on FlatHub.

Having this project in a Flatpak package, would enable your project to work on basically all distributions.

See some of the reasons to use Flatpak.
