OBD2 - watcha gonna do?


Hey all. Well. I have an ELM323 OBD2 scan tool for my car. Now, I can only seem to find GUI based software for it for Windows (booooo!!!). What Im wondering, is if any of you people have come across anything other than pyOBD for linux (any distro) with a GUI that you can scan cars with. The cable is noting amazing. Its just a serial cable connecting pins to the car, and it only runs on ticks every second at only like 9600 baud. Theres gotta be an interface for linux somewhere. Its far from rocket science. I like DigiMoto for windows, and the only way I can get that up and running in linux is with a virtual desktop. Ah well. figures it was worth asking. This is probably the only device that is keeping me from going Totally linux in my house.

Question

I'm looking for the same thing. Am sure the commercial software the garages use must run on Linux. Did you find anything that worked?
