Fix: Wrap the buffer.decode in a try and set bogus string. This increases compatibility by 5-10x with post elm327 made after 2022. (I've tested this)
The change is in ./obd/elm327.py near the last few lines,
string = buffer.decode("utf-8", "ignore") # convert bytes into a standard string try: string = buffer.decode("utf-8", "ignore") except: string = "Null response. Possibly an elm327 clone - try to connect anyway."
