ELM327 Connecting to Emulator

Post by cptreese »

I just got my emulator in, super excited, I was hoping to connect this emulator to an ELM327 but it can't find the protocol. Any tips on how to get this working?

Ensure the emulator is set to simulate a car's OBD-II protocol properly. Most emulators allow you to select a specific protocol, such as ISO 9141-2, CAN, KWP2000, or others. Make sure the emulator is set to a protocol supported by the ELM327 device.

Hello there, wanted to know if got any results trying to connect elm327 to emulator. I have tried several lectors for CAN traffic but emulator only seems to be sending CAN messages with all 0 data, even after modifying values using Freematics GUI or raw AT commands.

Yeah There is some sort strange traffic when the protocol is set to CAN500Kbps/11bit

Here is a video of it happening

Anyone that can explain that traffic, I would appreciate it

Also I managed to hook it up to an ELM327 I highly recommend using Veepeak

Works pretty well and I've been able to learn a ton about how an ELM327 does it's thing. Use a pigtail OBD2 connector one side ELM327 other side your sniffer

Ensure the emulator is configured to simulate the correct protocol and powered on. Reset the ELM327 (AT Z), use AT SP 0 for automatic protocol detection, or set the protocol manually (e.g., AT SP 6 for CAN).
