This post is a collection of my preferences on some aspects. It will be updated as I explore more and have some more opinions that I want to share. Feel free to tell me why you don’t agree with me in the comments. Dates and times Dates and times are really well defined in the ISO 8601 standard. Dates are represented as YYYY-MM-DD and times as HH:MM:SS. For full timestamps, the date and time are separated by a T and the timezone is appended at the end....

This post will cover my attempt of building a completely open way to read the OBD2 messages sent through the CAN bus of a car, and communicating with the ECU (Electronic Control Unit), basically “the brain” of the car. More will be coming :) Update on 2024-07-10 I’ve been working in this project since before writing this post, and there’s more info to share than I initially thought. I think a better way to share this is to write a series of posts, showing my progress and what I’ve learned so far....
