A simple OBD-II simulator software

OBDSimulator only works with versions of python >= 3.3

1. Load the driver for the virtual CAN interface

[sudo] modprobe vcan

2. Create a new virtual CAN interface and activate it

[sudo] ip link add dev vcan0 type vcan
[sudo] ip link set up vcan0

You can verify that the interface has been created by running the ip link show command

More informations on how to setup CAN interfaces can be found here

3. Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/pestadieu/OBDSimulator.git

python3 src/main.py

Currently the simulator only supports these PIDS:

0D - Vehicle Speed

0C - Engine RPM

1. In a terminal start the server:
