### Basic Usage
```typescript
import { parseOBDResponse } from "obd-raw-data-parser";
// Parse vehicle speed (50 km/h)
const speed = parseOBDResponse("41 0D 32");
console.log(speed);
// { mode: '41', pid: '0D', name: 'vss', unit: 'km/h', value: 50 }
// Parse engine RPM (1726 RPM)
const rpm = parseOBDResponse("41 0C 1A F8");
console.log(rpm);
// { mode: '41', pid: '0C', name: 'rpm', unit: 'rev/min', value: 1726 }
```

### PID Information Lookup
```typescript
import { getPIDInfo } from "obd-raw-data-parser";
const pidInfo = getPIDInfo("0C");
console.log(pidInfo);
/* Output:
{
mode: '01',
pid: '0C',
name: 'rpm',
description: 'Engine RPM',
min: 0,
max: 16383.75,
unit: 'rev/min',
bytes: 2
}
*/
```
### VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) Decoding
```typescript
import { VinDecoder } from "obd-raw-data-parser";
// Process segmented VIN response (common format)
const segmentedResponse = '014\r0:49020157304C\r1:4A443745433247\r2:42353839323737\r\r>';
const vin1 = VinDecoder.processVINResponse(segmentedResponse);
console.log(vin1); // 'W0LJD7EC2GB589277'
// Process non-segmented hex format
const hexResponse = '49020157304C4A443745433247423538393237373E';
const vin2 = VinDecoder.processVINSegments(hexResponse);
console.log(vin2); // 'W0LJD7EC2GB589277'
// Process VIN from byte array format
const byteArrayResponse = [
[48,49,52,13,48,58,52,57,48,50,48,49,53,55,51,48,52,67,13],
[49,58,52,65,52,52,51,55,52,53,52,51,51,50,52,55,13],
[50,58,52,50,51,53,51,56,51,57,51,50,51,55,51,55,13],
[13,62]
];
const vin3 = VinDecoder.processVINByteArray(byteArrayResponse);
console.log(vin3); // 'W0LJD7EC2GB589277'
// Validate if response contains VIN data
console.log(VinDecoder.isVinData('0902')); // true
console.log(VinDecoder.isVinData('490201')); // true
// Validate a VIN string
console.log(VinDecoder.validateVIN('W0LJD7EC2GB589277')); // true
console.log(VinDecoder.validateVIN('INVALID-VIN')); // false
```
The VIN decoder supports multiple raw data formats:
- Segmented responses (with line numbers and colons)
- Non-segmented hex string format
- Byte array format
- Multiple standards (0902, 490201)
All decoding methods include built-in validation and error handling, returning `null` for invalid inputs.
### DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) Decoding
```typescript
import { DTCBaseDecoder } from "obd-raw-data-parser";
// Create a decoder instance for CAN protocol
const canDecoder = new DTCBaseDecoder({
isCan: true, // Use CAN protocol
serviceMode: "03", // Mode 03 for current DTCs
troubleCodeType: "CURRENT", // Type of DTCs being decoded
logPrefix: "MyApp", // Optional prefix for logs
});
// Example: Decoding current DTCs from CAN response
const rawBytes = [[0x43, 0x02, 0x01, 0x43, 0x01, 0x96, 0x02, 0x34]];
const dtcs = canDecoder.decodeDTCs(rawBytes);
console.log(dtcs); // ['P0143', 'P0196', 'P0234']
// Create a decoder for non-CAN protocol and pending DTCs
const nonCanDecoder = new DTCBaseDecoder({
isCan: false,
serviceMode: "07", // Mode 07 for pending DTCs
troubleCodeType: "PENDING",
logPrefix: "MyApp",
});
// Parse DTC status byte
const status = canDecoder.parseDTCStatus(0x8c);
console.log(status);
/* Output:
{
milActive: true, // Malfunction Indicator Lamp status
dtcCount: 12, // Number of DTCs
currentError: false,
pendingError: false,
confirmedError: true,
egrSystem: true,
oxygenSensor: false,
catalyst: false
}
*/
```
#### Available DTC Modes
- `03`: Current DTCs
- `07`: Pending DTCs
- `0A`: Permanent DTCs
#### Features
- ๐ Supports both CAN and non-CAN protocols
- ๐ Decodes multiple DTCs from a single response
- ๐ Detailed status information parsing
- โก Efficient raw byte processing
- โ
Type-safe error handling
## ๐ Real-World Example
```typescript
import { parseOBDResponse } from "obd-raw-data-parser";
// Create a real-time dashboard
class VehicleDashboard {
update(rawData: string) {
const data = parseOBDResponse(rawData);
switch (data.pid) {
case "0C": // RPM
this.updateTachometer(data.value);
break;
case "0D": // Speed
this.updateSpeedometer(data.value);
break;
// ... handle other parameters
}
}
}
```

## ๐ Special Thanks
This library would not have been possible without the excellent work done by [obd-utils](https://github.com/Nishkalkashyap/obd-utils). A huge thank you to [@Nishkalkashyap](https://github.com/Nishkalkashyap) for creating the original implementation that inspired this library.
The OBD-II PID definitions, conversion algorithms, and core parsing logic are based on their excellent work. We've built upon their foundation to create a TypeScript-first, fully tested implementation with additional features and improvements.
If you're interested in OBD-II development, we highly recommend checking out their original work.
