OBD-II and raspberry Pi technology to diagnose car’s machine current condition: study literature

Low-cost microcomputers such as the Raspberry Pi are common in library makerspaces. This paper aims to create an OBD-II technology to diagnose a vehicle’s condition.

An OBD-II scanner plugged into the OBD-II port or usually called the data link connector (DLC), sends diagnostics to the Raspberry Pi.

Compared with other microcontrollers such as Arduino, the Raspberry Pi was chosen because it sustains the application to receive real-time diagnostics, process the diagnostics and send commands to automobiles at the same time, rather than Arduino that must wait for another process finished to run another process.

This paper also represents the history of mobile technology and OBD-II technology, comparison between Arduino and Raspberry Pi and Node.
