Welcome to panda

panda is the nicest universal car interface you've ever seen.

It supports 3x CAN, 2x LIN, and 1x GMLAN.

It uses an STM32F413 for low level stuff and an ESP8266 for wifi. They are connected over high speed SPI, so the panda is actually capable of dumping the full contents of the busses over wifi, unlike every other dongle on amazon. ELM327 is weak, panda is strong.

It is 2nd gen hardware, reusing code and parts from the NEO interface board.
