Hey @fenugrec ! Are you open to contributions on this repo? Or is this a personal project? I would love to learn about ECU programming and diagnostic tools, would love to start with this!

fenugrec commented 3 years ago

Hi, yes absolutely! Of course as you can see, with a few exceptions I'm the only one working on this. How did you find this project, via the romraider forums or somewhere else ?

Holy crap. Do you know how good it feels to see these messages in my email inbox? Lol

Hi, yes absolutely!

Thanks a lot! I will start studying the code today and figure out what's up. Any pointers I should keep in mind?

Of course as you can see, with a few exceptions I'm the only one working on this. How did you find this project, via the romraider forums or somewhere else ?

I think I found this by just searching "Open source ECU tools" or something.'

Edit: I thought this thread was on the freediag repo. I came to nisprog from the freediag repo.

Ah yes. Nisprog uses the core part of freediag (libdiag) as a backend, but adds Nissan-specific code for a certain generation of their ECUs in particular (~ 2001-2007 roughly). Freediag is a more general-purpose project.

Depending on your interests, there's plenty of room for improvement in both these projects. Or if you feel like resurrecting a project, I had also started work on an opensource J2534 interface... if you want, email me at "my username" @ users.sourceforge.net.

I would actually like some starter material on diagnostic tools if you got any: articles, videos, blogs anything would work! I do not have a particular niche or interest as of now since I am not very aware of what the internals of diagnostic tools and ECU programming are.

I have started to study the source code of freediag. Where would you suggest I start? How did you start out?

So, the email is <github-username>@users.sourceforge.net?
