<div class="markdown_content"><p>The good news:</p> <p>Connects to device<br /> Menu item View:Get PIDS will write some PID values into the log window<br /> (remember to connect to device first!)<br /> Can see MIL status and reset (WARNING - can't yet see what they are so<br /> use with extreme care)</p> <p>The bad news:</p> <p>This is VERY alpha.<br /> Only builds on Linux<br /> No "make install"<br /> Serial port hard coded into obdFrame::onMenuConnect<br /> Only works for ELM327 interface devices<br /> No covenient way to access PIDs</p></div>
