I was following this guy on YouTube. He is using this tool to connect scanner OBD to ECU.
Is there one I can buy instead of building my own ?
Also, I only need to connect k-line to communicate right?
How do I test ECU on bench?
ok, I was going to say like test for ignition coil pulse but that seemed dumb.
Anyway, lets say I bought an ECU from junkyard, how do I test it before I install in a real car?
I'm about to finish my mechanic certificate and somehow got hooked to car hacking.
I had some ECU repair training but no computer science knowledge.
Is there any recommended path to follow?
Google throw at me things like computer science, engineering, embedded, RTOS, Python, Cryptography...
I'm doing it for personal interest only, I don't think I will use it professionally.
I was going thru Udemy classes when I found about UDS.
I'm still learning about it.
But I would like to know how is it useful for diagnostics, ECU programming or key programming ?
I mean I know people who work in these fields probably never heard about UDS.
So what I'm missing?
I took a couple classes on car ECU repair. So I have reasonable idea on testing, soldering..
But I like to learn more on how ECUs work.
Will a book on microcontrollers help me?
Also I can't find texbooks on ECU programming and cloning.
Is Youtube the only way?
Hi
Which trade do you think is easy to get into, and hopefully start your own business?
My understanding is the good ones go to family, friends, aka networking.
