Designers working with the OBD vehicle diagnostic port have a problem when it comes to equipment testing. A full sized car parked next to your bench may technically be a good solution but in most cases just isn’t not possible. You don’t need to resort to expensive professional equipment to do the job.
This MiniSim OBD simulator device described here is a low-cost and efficient unit which simulates communication from a vehicle’s OBD port and can communicate using four of the most popular OBD protocols. This is a very useful tool for anyone thinking about developing OBD hardware or software or even just for test purposes.
