944 OBD Project (On-Board Diagnostics)
#31
The OBD Module Prototype in the pictures above could plug directly into a Rogue Tuning DME and basically work. However, the Rogue Tuning DME has a different injection driver and several switches. I will need to create a slightly different design to read the injection current waveform and provide access to these switches.

Update To OBD Project
Its been a while and I wanted to catch everyone up on the latest progress:
New “SPORT” DME
You may have heard that I replaced my 944 NA and 944 Turbo standard DME’s with the new “SPORT” DME. The OBD module was the main driver behind this update, I added some provisions and refinements to better support it. However, I also added new features that are more performance oriented like switches for 24/28 EEPROM and Turbo/NA modes. Basically, the SPORT DME will work on any 944 or 951 by just changing out the program and setting a couple of switches.
Mark II OBD Module Electronics
I updated the OBD Module design with many new refinements. I realized that many guys have MAF upgrades, so I added provisions to support reading these sensors. I also added LEDs for all the different supply voltages (there are 5 of them), some experimental features like an “at a glance” flywheel sensor status and Tx/Rx data.
Software/Firmware
Still nothing interesting to show on the software front, all the code so far it just boring foundational stuff. However, I am getting close to reading out the analog sensors and displaying values. I hopefully will have something to show on my next update.
Here are updated pictures of the new SPORT DME and prototype OBD Module:

you should include a "kill switch" in the DME that automatically fries any AFM the user installs, thereby forcing them to convert to a MAF and come out of the 11th century and into the light of throttle response, torque, and accurate AFR metering.

What would be awesome is a digital FQS. So you could change the setting via bluetooth. It would be nice to test different settings without tearing into the passengers footwell every time. Perhaps the obd board could bypass the physical switch to allow this?

I had the exact same idea! The electronics to support this are already implemented in Mark III hardware, I will describe exactly how it will function in my next progress update.
