Important :

Do not use this software if you don't have a strong knowledge of how a CAN network (or ECU) works, you can really do bad things with it, especially if you're working on a vehicle

The author declines all responsibility about a bad use of this tool. You are the only responsible

This tool is mainly aimed for CAN ISO_TP network study

Cloning Source Code

Dependencies :

python_3.11.x

Supported diagnostic adapters (so far)

  • ELM327 USB/BlueTooth/WiFi (Original one with PIC18F25K80, Chinese clone not working)
  • ObdLink SX
  • ELS27

Next, you need to get the source code. This source code repository uses git submodules. So when you clone the source code, you will need to clone recursively:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/cedricp/ddt4all.git

Or if you already cloned without the recursive option, you can update the submodules by running:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/cedricp/ddt4all.git
cd ddt4all
git submodule update --init --recursive
