Automotive AI: Voice Activated Vehicle Diagnostic Assistant ?

Join the Discord Server

An experimental open-source application that integrates the OpenAi gpt-3.5-turbo-0125 or gpt-4-turbo models via API, NLP, TTS, STT, and an OBD-II ELM327 device to create a voice-activated, hands-free, vehicle diagnostic assistant.

️ This is a work in progress ️

03/17/2024: Updated to use OpenAI v1

11/14/2023: Added "development" branch with the option to use text input in the terminal instead of voice commands.

Built and tested using:

• Windows 11 & Ubuntu 22.04
• Python 3.12
• Requires Miniconda
• OBDlink MX+ Bluetooth ELM327
• Desktop testing is possible using an ELM327 emulator

? Using an ELM Simulator

ELM327 emulator: [GitHub](https://github.com/Ircama/ELM327-emulator) com0com virtual serial port driver: [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/) (to create a virtual COM port pair).

After installing com0com, run:

elm -p COM6 -a 500000

Set the COM port in the .env file to COM7.

? Data Stream (Under Construction)

python air_fuel_datastream.py

Streams data from the OBD-II ELM327 device to the console, but there's currently no way to stop the stream other than closing the application.
