    When I build the OBD Logger, I get numerous errors:
    |

    obdlogger.ino|176|error: could not convert 'init()' to 'bool'|
    ...

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Looks like you are missing the library. Did you #include "obd.h" and are the files in your arduino libraries folder.
    The obd.h and obd.cpp files contain the code that tells the arduino what functions like 'readSensor' mean and what to do. Usually when you get errors like that it means it's not finding the code that defines those functions, and usually either you didn't #include "file.h" or the file is not where the compiler knows to look for it.

    Hope this helps, I was beating my head with that naught but a couple weeks ago, and a programmer friend helped me out.

  • You Reply: I am having trouble getting my OBD/arduino setup to work with my VW. It is OBDII certified, but the results are inconsistent, sometimes it connects and works fine, sometimes it doesn't. I am not super proficient with code, so please don't explain things in super complex language. Thanks.
