The following code is what I used to test the Bluetooth communications. You can modify this code to send only a few commands and see the response back, but otherwise this code will continually send the AT command for the vehicle speed and the Hex returned value will be output on the computer terminal program.

Hi Tony,
I am using the above code with the STM32F4Discovery expansion board (with Baseboard and LCD) and the OBD-II UART Adapter Model A with UART ( http://arduinodev.com/hardware/obd-kit/ , it’s for arduino but I think it will work with the STM32F4). I am just using the USART1 from the code and trying to display on the LCD. I haven’t changed anything else except for the delays. But I am not able to display anything. I don’t think it’s sending anything to the OBD on the car. I am relatively new to the area. Can you please help me with this? Thanks.
That adapter should work fine as long as it has the Tx and Rx lines for USART. What I would do first is try testing your code in the terminal on your computer and eliminate the LCD for now. Just make sure that you can talk to the car first, then you can output to the LCD later. The code I wrote above takes the input from the car on USART1 and the output is sent to USART2 (Terminal). Adding the terminal in will also be helpful because you could use it as a printf() debugger by placing USART_puts() around to see where your code is hanging.
Make sure you are connecting the adapter correctly as well,
USART1: PB6 (Tx) -> Adapter (Rx)
PB7 (RX) -> Adapter (Tx)
Also, how are you compiling your code? You can email me your package and I can take a look at it if you can’t get it working.
Another suggestion would be to simplify the code to the basics of just sending or receiving and test it this way. You can then start to narrow down which parts are working correctly.
I will try to get the output on the terminal, hope it work. I will use the same code as above without any changes this time.
I had connected the adapter correctly, PB6(Tx)->Apapter(Rx) and vice versa.
I am using Coocox as IDE and Arm Gcc for compiling. I will send you the code, shall I reply it the email I received regarding confirmation?
That email is good to send it to.
I highly recommend getting a USART to USB converter, like the CP2102, that way you can debug easily. I would connect the OBDII connector to this and just use the terminal to send and receive commands. This will tell you a lot about how to get communication going through the STM32F4.
Hi Tony,
I got a CP2102 USB to UART converter and tried to send the AT commands but it just doesn’t allow me to type the commands. when I press a letter for example when try to send “ATZ” it doesn’t take “A” but some other character like “{” and for “T” it takes “w” and so on.
Then I tried to send it from the STM32F4 controller using the code above, and it was working, there was some bad connections in the CP2102 I ordered, it was displaying the data only when I hold the CP2102 in one particular direction. Then I decided to add the LCD to the code as I was getting the data. But again! the OBD adapter starts working only when I send the AT commands from the terminal. When I remove the USART2 and keep only the LCD, without switching off the OBD Adapter from the previous connection( when it was working with USART2) it works, the data is displayed on the LCD. But when I switch off the ignition of the car and try again only with the LCD it doesn’t work. The OBD adapter doesn’t transmit anything. For the OBD to transmit again I have to put th USART2 again and send the AT command through terminal again.
And the email address to send displays donotreply, can you please send an email to my account so I can send you the package. Thanks.
Hi Tony, It’s all working now, it was getting stuck on the while condition for ELM reading, I removed it and it works fine. But odd though it didn’t work with the Terminal when I sent the commands. Anyways thanks for the advice and great work with your projetcs.
