Hi Presence, I have recently installed this package with all the prerequisite. Still, I cannot get it to work. - When I start the app, I can see the COM port is set as /dev/ttyACM0 and cannot be changed - When I try to Configure it, I get the error below: Traceback (most recent call last): File "pyobd", line 643, in Configure ports = self.scanSerial() File "pyobd", line 597, in scanSerial s = serial.Serial(i) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/serial/serialutil.py", line 216, in __init__ self.port = port File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/serial/serialutil.py", line 260, in port raise ValueError('"port" must be None or a string, not {}'.format(type(port))) ValueError: "port" must be None or a string, not <type 'int'> - When I try to connect without changing the device, I get the error below: Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "pyobd", line 155, in run self.stop() File "pyobd", line 228, in stop self.port.close() File "/usr/local/pyobd-0.9.3/obd_io.py", line 132, in close if (self.port!= None) and self.State==1: AttributeError: OBDPort instance has no attribute 'port' I am not an expert inLinux, so if I can change something there to get the app to work, I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!

It still doesn't work. First, it looks for the device /dev/ttyACM0, when the real name is /dev/ttyUSB0. Second, (after changing the device name in the code) it fails: File "/usr/bin/pyobd", line 228, in stop self.port.close() File "/usr/lib/pyobd/obd_io.py", line 132, in close if (self.port!= None) and self.State==1: AttributeError: OBDPort instance has no attribute 'port'

I added a patch to fix the configure dialog. You should be able to select the proper port now with that working. I'll see if there's a way to submit that patch to upstream.

Same problem here, can't change the COM port to /dev/ttyUSB0, can't access the 'configure' section, and certainly cannot connect to the device @ttyUSB0 since the device in use is /dev/ttyACM0, any ideas / suggestions?

It fails for me. Clicking "Configure" menu item causes this message: $ sudo pyobd Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pyobd", line 643, in Configure ports = self.scanSerial() File "/usr/bin/pyobd", line 597, in scanSerial s = serial.Serial(i) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/serial/serialutil.py", line 162, in __init__ self.port = port File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/serial/serialutil.py", line 206, in port raise ValueError('"port" must be None or a string, not {}'.format(type(port))) ValueError: "port" must be None or a string, not <type 'int'> Clicking "Connect" menu item causes this message: $ sudo pyobd Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/bin/pyobd", line 155, in run self.stop() File "/usr/bin/pyobd", line 228, in stop self.port.close() File "/usr/lib/pyobd/obd_io.py", line 132, in close if (self.port!= None) and self.State==1: AttributeError: OBDPort instance has no attribute 'port' It also says that the COM port is /dev/ttyACM0 when it should be /dev/ttyUSB0

Should work fine. I've used it with a cheap ELM327 USB device I bought off Amazon.

I have a question for anybody who used this package: Is it compatible with the cheap USB code readers (like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/ELM327-V1-5-OBD2-OBDII-USB-Interface-Wired-Code-Reader-Auto-Diagnostic-Tester-/272298277938), or it is only compatible with their reader (http://www.obdtester.com/elm-usb)?
