OBD Speed (JC3636W518)
Vehicle speed from an ELM327 over BLE, shown as a big number + arc gauge on top of an animated GIF.
Uses the shared board library and LVGL 9.6 (../shared), NimBLE-Arduino 2.5.1.
Use
- Speed page — speed in km/h (
--= no data: not connected, or ignition off), arc gauge 0–200 km/h, status pill below the number (adapter name when running, otherwise what it is doing). Battery voltage (ATRV, every 2 s) as a small arc in the bottom gap (11–15 V) + number; color: red < 11.8 V, orange < 12.2 V, green < 13.0 V (resting OK), blue ≤ 14.8 V (charging), red above (overcharge). - Swipe left → adapter menu — scans while open. OBD-like adapters (name OBD/ELM/…, or service FFF0/FFE0/18F0) are listed first in green. Tap one to select it: it is remembered (NVS) and connected immediately. Forget clears the remembered adapter, Done (or swipe right) returns to the speed page.
- Swipe left again → settings — screen rotation 0 / 90 / 180 / 270 degrees, and screen off without data Off / 2 / 5 / 10 min (default 2). Both remembered in NVS.
- Idle — after that time without speed data (ignition off, adapter gone) the screen goes dark, the GIF pauses and
OBD polling stops; only
ATRVevery 30 s (answered by the adapter itself, doesn't wake the car's bus). Wakes on a touch (the touch is swallowed) or by itself when the voltage rises above 13.2 V (engine started). Not used while no adapter is chosen. - On power-up the remembered adapter is connected automatically; if the link drops or the adapter is not there (car off), it retries every 3 s. With no adapter remembered, the device starts on the menu page.
How it talks to the ELM327
Service FFF0, notifications + commands on FFF1 (verified with the user's "OBDII" adapter, see
docs/2026-10-23_ble_scanner_car_test.txt, made with the BLE scanner tool that was removed afterwards — in git history); other adapters: first notify+write pair.
Init: ATZ, ATE0, ATL0, ATS0, ATH0, ATSP0, 0100; then 010D (speed) is polled continuously.
Serial (115200) prints status changes as [obd] ....
