Re: NVH & HGV/Off Highway

Hi David, Thank you for the update and great to hear you're getting a connection with the NexIQ Blue Link Mini. Out of interest is the Blue Link Mini purely BlueTooth? It would be interesting to see how well this connects with the Pico NVH. My feeling is it might not work as it's using the RP1227 pr...

I would be making use of the J1939 decoder and use the source address list to determine which ECU's are on which network. This is assuming you have an automotive PicoScope ...
