This project is suitable for cars with OBD2 CAN protocol ISO 15765 11 bits 500 Kb/s, most cars have this protocol. The application reads data of the ECU . The vertical version app all 12 common PIDs are displays on one screen in smaller text, the horisontal app displays 12 PIDs (parameters) in 3 pages. NEXT pushbutton cycles through the pages. Page 0 stops the scanning.
TFT screen is 160x128 pixels, 1.8 inch with ST7735 driver.
The MCP2515 module drives the CAN BUS. The circuit supply is from the car 12V , 5V regulator generates the 5V for the TFT and MCP2515. Setting up filters in the MCP2515 is for allowing only 7DF messages to be read by the PIC.
The code requests the data every second. The request is an address 7DF, number of bytes, service #, PID and padding 5 bytes of 0x55. The reply from the ECU is address 7E8, number of bytes, 0x41, PID and 2 bytes of data. The data i calculatedRPM = (byte1*256+byte2)/4.
The C code is migrated from Arduino lib, C++ was changed to C so it can be compiled by the free XC8.

This project is suitable for cars with OBD2 protocol ISO 15765 11 bits 500 Kb/s, most cars have this protocol. The application reads data of the ECU using CAN. The MCP2515 module drives the CAN BUS. The circuit supply of 5V is from the USB, the Arduino is plugged to the PC USB. The app reads 17 most common PIDs. The app calculates the data from the ECU.
The PID button is for reading ECU results for MODE and PID numbers typed in the TextBox next to the button (ie 010D). Button SAVE saves text file of readings in the app folder.
For compiling the Arduino code you need to install a lib from GitHub. Lib for the Arduino can be downloaded from GitHub:  https://github.com/coryjfowler/MCP_CAN_lib

For compiling the code you need to install a lib from GitHub. The code requests the data twice every second. The request is an address 7DF, number of bytes, service #, PID and padding 5 bytes of 0x55. The reply from the ECU is address 7E8, number of bytes, 0x41, PID and 2 bytes of data.

CAR SIMULATOR
OBD2 car simulator Using Arduino Nano and MCP2515 CAN driver. It simulate ISO 15765-4 CAN BUS 11 bit, 500 Kb/s. obd_sim.ino is for Bluetooth with ELM v2.1, obd_usb_sim.ino is for USB OBD plug with ELM v1.5.
Only most common PIDs are simulated. The simulator listen to messages from an Diagnostic tool and reply as an ECU. It can be used to test Diagnostic tool or to be used for development.
More PIDs can be added to the Arduino code. The code is a revised code from example in the GitHub MCP CAN LIB library that needs to be added to the Arduino IDE, https://github.com/coryjfowler/MCP_CAN_lib .

Android app uses OBD2 to USB, it has ELM327 that connects to all OBDII protocols. The app reads common PIDs, DTC (faults) and VID. Code is in B4A (basic for android) https://www.b4x.com/

Windows application reads current data. The bluetooth obd2 plug has ELM327 that connects to all OBDII protocols. The computer's bluetooth pairs with the OBD-II plug and connects to the app via COM Port. On windows computer you can find the COM port number in 'device manager' and select the port in the app.

In here  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II  you can find the parameter IDs of data request. A request is 2 hexadecimal numbers and the ELM response is several bytes that contain the data. Every car responds to different request, the app has only 12 popular requests, others can be added.
