OBD PID Requester

This app is used to capture vehicle engine speed (rpm) data and throttle position from a connection made to the on-board diagnostics port (OBD II). This data is displayed on screen, and re-transmitted via CAN from the top 5-pin port on the VBOX Touch.

The app and CAN output is ideal to be used by other CAN data loggers that do not support Parameter Identification (PID) requests, to capture vehicle diagnostic information.

To use the app, a VBOX Touch variant is required. The app is not compatible with MFD Touch or Performance Box Touch hardware.

RPM available in the first 4 bytes of message identifier 0x700.

Throttle available in the last 4 bytes of message identifier 0x700.

The data is in a 32 bit floating point format, transmitted at a rate of 500 kbit/s.

If you would like more parameters added, please email .

Version 0.10 - 9 January 2024

• Adds support for new hardware variant.
