kit #1 Obd2 problems

Post by vertmagazine »

Hi everyone

I bought kit1 and i´m having some problems with the Obd2.
I have a 2009 vw golf mk6 and when i plugged the obd2,with the nanotimer sketch, the only thing that oled(128 x 64 ) shows is ' Performace Box Connecting OBD...'.
I've waited 45 minutes and nothing changed .
If someone could help me i really appreciate that.

Thank you!

Please use Arduino 1.5 if you encounter the low memory warning.

Are you sure the Rx and Tx wire are connected to D1 and D0 correctly. Have you tried swapping them? Could you take a pic of the OBD adapter? I also want to make sure it is the correct model.

Hi Stanley

I found the problem. One of the wires that conect the arduino to the oled was broken...is the only explanation to the problem. I replaced all the wires and everything works perfectly!!

Thank you very much for your help and sorry for all the story ;)

Best regards

My problem with Kit #1 is that none of the sketches will compile. I down loaded
the new zipped library posted 12/31/14 (ArdunioOBD-Master) from github but get the
following error when I try to compile the sketch "nano logger" :

(or any of the other examples in the library)



In file included from nanologger.ino:10:
C:\Users\John\Documents\Arduino\libraries\OBD/OBD.h:13: error: stray '\302' in program
C:\Users\John\Documents\Arduino\libraries\OBD/OBD.h:13: error: stray '\267' in program
C:\Users\John\Documents\Arduino\libraries\OBD/OBD.h:224: error: stray '@' in program

The library was imported with no problems and I can navigate all the examples in the OBD library
thru the IDE no problem. Can someone spot where I am going wrong?

Please check if OBD.h is intact.
