Join Elektor Senior Engineer Saad Imtiaz and host Brian Tristam Williams for a technical showcase exploring how OBD2 vehicle data and LoRaWAN sensor networks can work together in real-world IoT systems.
Featured Guest:
• Saad Imtiaz – Senior Engineer at Elektor
What we explored:
In this hands-on session, we talked through how Saad built a fully functional ESP32-S3-powered OBD2 dashboard that taps into live vehicle metrics such as fuel economy, coolant temperature, and battery voltage. You’ll also learn about low-power LoRaWAN nodes used for smart environmental sensing.
Key Topics:
✓ Reading ECU data over CAN and UART using ESP32
✓ Visualizing sensor metrics on touch displays
✓ LoRaWAN communication strategies for ultra-low power
✓ Combining vehicle diagnostics with scalable IoT
✓ Real-world prototyping challenges and solutions
✓ Live audience Q&A
If you're working on embedded systems, automotive diagnostics, or wireless sensor design, this session offers code-level insights and practical hardware demos.
Giveaway:
We gave away an OBD-II CAN Bus Development Kit ($37.92 value), ideal for diagnostics, data logging, and prototyping with Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
