Hello,
as I am working currently on my VCU project I am looking for a handy way to implement diagnostics. My prefered solution would be to go the standardized way and implement at least some of the OBD / UDS services. After some researching on the internet I didn't realy find a free tool to vizualize and record OBD /UDS data and write back to the ECU.

Do you have any advice for existing projects that can do so? Of course I will share my code, if I continue implementing those functionalities.

Best regards,
Felix

I have seen ODIS (the official VW tool) in one of Damiens videos, so this seems to be one option. Another could be http://www.obdtester.com/pyobd, but never have seen this in action.

VCDS is also a good VAG scan tool but both ODIS and VCDS only talk to VAG cars, if your running BMW modules you could also use the BMW scan tool or one of the many specialized aftermarket ones or could look into a general aftermarket scan tool but you'll probably loose out on some of the information you get.
Launch is a good aftermarket one with a bit of info.
It will come down to what brands your using and how much you want to pay.
