MeatPi Electronics, an Australian based Hardware developer firm, announced their new open-source OBD scanning tool called WiCAN Pro. It is set to be launched on the ground funding platform Crowdsupply. Built on the infamous ESP32-S3 SoC, WiCAN Pro runs on the open-source WiCAN firmware. The WiCAN Pro features a dedicated OBD interpreter chip, ensuring comprehensive support across all legislated OBD-II protocols. This gives WiCAN Pro the ability to interface with three CAN BUS protocols and one SW CAN, making it compatible with numerous makes and models. WiCAN Pro is also compatible with various OBD instruction sets, including ELM327, ELM329, STN, and VT instructions. This enables WiCAN Pro to deliver unmatched diagnostic capabilities and connectivity, redefining the standards in automotive diagnostic tools for vehicle health monitoring, diagnostics, and performance optimisation.
WiCAN Pro allows users to perform detailed inspections and troubleshoot vehicle systems, simplifying some repairs. Enthusiasts can use WiCAN Pro to modify car functions, enhance performance, or unlock hidden features, all within a safe and controlled environment. It provides real-time access to car diagnostics data for those keen on continuous monitoring, helping users closely watch vehicle health and performance. Additionally, its integration capabilities with home assistance systems enable users to automate and remotely manage vehicle diagnostics and monitoring, adding a layer of convenience to everyday automobile use. It also supports a MicroSD card for logging and USB host interface for optional peripherals such as LTE or GPS. WiCAN Pro’s open-source firmware is available on the WiCAN GitHub repo, while the Hardware schematics will be available after the crowdfunding campaign.
