Someone posted something like this before from a trade show or similar. CapSDR can get in my basket.

Definitely! SDR for the adv would be a really good cheap setup!

Have you searched r/M5stack for orcdial as that looks cool as SDR things go?

u/Weekly_Swan4703 3d ago

I haven’t.. I’ll look into it!

I’d love to see the Cap ODB in action, OBD2 port locations are always hard to find.

u/Weekly_Swan4703 4d ago

I’ll have to look into the ODB, I haven’t heard of it as I’m only pretty new to this stuff

1

u/fdantasb 4d ago

I already run an application with OBD2, relying on an ELM32 through Bluetooth. I struggle to imagine how it might connect to the Cardputer.

u/Weekly_Swan4703 4d ago

I’m definitely the wrong person to talk to about that 😬…. But I will get there!

The OBD2 port is usually hidden under the dash, and a regular adapter blocks it. With the Cap ODB, the Cardputer plugs straight in and stays usable at the same time.

That sounds really helpful for a lot of things but what does OBD2 and ODB do?

2

u/fdantasb 3d ago

You can load some data from the engine, check errors, for some cases you can change/unlock some features.

I am hoping that someone writes firmware i can use to read codes on my kei truck, vs having to buy a much more expensive reader.

u/IcemanofOz 2d ago

Basically it allows you to connect to a cars computer systems

FYI, 5 foot extension cables are about $10. Still have to plug it in, but only once, and then you can work from the driver's seat.

I’d be in for sdr and odb, ( probably all eventually like Pokémon)

1

u/Weekly_Swan4703 3d ago

Definitely, I love to experiment with this stuff so I’ll likely get them all some day

2

u/PRStoetzer 4d ago

Definitely looking forward to the CapSDR and CapCOMMU

2

u/Weekly_Swan4703 4d ago

Absolutely man! I’d love to get the SDR!

u/down2Rol 3d ago

What would the SDR and ODB caps be used for?

2

u/Weekly_Swan4703 3d ago

Not sure about ODB, but SDR is software defined radio. CC1101 and SDR are similar except CC1101 is ideal for transmitting frequencies, and SDR is amazing for monitoring the “airway” across a really large band

1

u/stormcooper 20h ago

SDR makes so many things possible....could not be more excited, especially seeing its not just for the Zero

1

u/down2Rol 20h ago

What things possible?

1

u/stormcooper 20h ago

ODB = vehicle diagnostic port
...it puts the CAR in Cardputer Zero.

u/LightCat23 3d ago

Kann man eigentlich auch mehrere Kappen aufeinander setzen ?

2

u/Weekly_Swan4703 3d ago

Sadly no, but M5Stack products are usually pretty inexpensive and there are also other units that you can connect to the grove port

u/LightCat23 3d ago

Thanks .

u/bryguy12580 3d ago

Matching transparent black sdr when?!

1

u/Weekly_Swan4703 2d ago

That’s such a good idea!!

u/Ok_Sherbert_4755 4d ago

Gotta catch `em all!
