Using existing OBD-II python script from Raspberry Pi on ESP32

Post by mhixson » Wed Aug 03, 2022 1:42 am

I've developed a truckputer using a Raspberry Pi 4 and a Bluetooth OBD-II reader. This works well, but now I'm curious about shrinking this down from a full Linux environment of the Pi to the much smaller ESP32 world. I have a Sparkfun Thing Plus C which I've been very impressed with so far.
I've been using the python-OBD on the Pi. Since this library works well for me I thought that micropython might be the tool for this job.

Does anyone here have experience with OBD-II on the ESP32 platform (especially over Bluetooth)? Does micropython seem like the right way to go about this or should I look for other OBD-II libraries that would be used from a standard Arduino sketch?

Thanks for any ideas or advice.
Cheers!
-Matt
