Compatibility with Bluetooth adapters?

Open henriqpsantos opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

What are the bluetooth OBD-II readers that this library is compatible/incompatible with specifically? Are there any known issues with any brands or a known safe and working brand/model? I want to acquire a reader but would like to be sure that it's compatible with this first.

Thanks for your work!

Bluetooth adapters create a virtual serial com port. So, it doesn't matter. You will connect a serial anyway

I couldn't get one of the cheap $15 bluetooth adapters to work. The usb OBDLINK SX worked for me. I didn't change the code between the two adapters except to update the port. Maybe I just needed to test other BT models.
