Welcome to OOBD

What is OOBD?

OOBD (Open On Board Diagnostics) is not a single hardcoded diagnostic application, its a runtime environment instead which gives you the flexibility to implement your own ideas, needs and wants. By supporting the hardware connectivity, diagnostic software library and a powerful User interface, you can fully focus on your problem without re-inventing the wheel again and again.

All your results (diagnostic functionality and user interface layout) can be packed into one single container file and shared and distributed and executed on both Desktop machines and Android mobiles.

Quickstart

To download, install, setup and run the software, please follow the instructions for Android or Windows.

For all documents, please use the links Sitemap and Manual provided in the header of each page.

Features

As the feature list became to long for the main page, we moved it to the separate Feature page.

Own Hardware - The CAN-Invader

Although the build plans are available in the OOBD repository, we do recommend to better buy a completely build & tested CAN invader device at our partner

It was found that there's a lot of experience and time needed to collect all parts and to solder the dongle by yourself. Especially for commercial applications it's more effective to directly order the complete units.

About us

We started as a small group of mainly automotive engineers who wanted to have some simple and handy equipment for our daily work.

Join the OOBD- Community..

If you like the concept of a flexible, configurable diagnostic software so much as we do, you might want to take the advantage of Open Source and take the base to implement your own ideas, wishes and needs - which is, of course, a good idea

But..

As you certainly know, there are hundreds of diagnostic programs around, solving hundreds single problems, each one for its own. We have set up the OOBD project to generate a generic framework to have just one single program instead which can be adapted to every possible topic.

We are now just worried that you probably like this idea of this all-in-one-design, and you start your own all-in-one project - so that in the end we end up with hundred all-in-one concepts…

So please before you start your own thing, have a thought about to join our team. We are open to every new idea, and as you see, we are also just at the beginning, but we really would like to end up with just one program for everything.
