[clug] October CLUG - Thursday Oct 22 - Lightning talks - short focused fun for all

[David C]

Obd and obd 2 are largely equivalent in the broadest sense.
I've got an OBD2 plug that I can lend, there is a couple of python
libraries that should work.
Using the leading app (Torque), I was highly underwhelmed with the data
Mercedes and Subaru are willing to share circa 2007.

By fuzzing it you may have more luck, but I live too far out of town to
brick my car and deal with it.
