So I have one of the sparkfun obd-ii uart devices and my goal is fast data logging and controlling a few other functions. However the polling rate is a little slow for my application. To poll 5 PIDs I am seeing turnround times of around 400 ms.
The first thing I did was change the baud rate on the aprkfun device to 115200 and it worked fine at that baudrate, but the turrnaround for OBD requests was still in the 400 ms range. I know others have achieved faster polling with the ELM327 / STN1110 before so I know there must be some optimization I am missing.
I’m using a MEGA2560 arduino board for the project. Thanks for any advice you can give.
