3-
Transmits ODBII PIDs with vehicle sensor information upon request, using the
4-
ELM327 protocol.

Transmits real-time automotive sensor information to a client smartphone
4+
or tablet running an [ODBII](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBD-II) monitoring
5+
app.
6+
7+
The most common application is to provide real-time sensor information
8+
for classic vehicles that either do not have an ECU or a sensor bus with
9+
an OBDII connector.

The common setup will be a set of automotive sensors connected to the Arduino
712
microcontroller (MCU) running as the simulator. Equipped with a Bluetooth
813
module, sensor information will be sent to a client when requested. The client
9-
will generally be a smart phone running an OBDII app, such as Torque.
