KLineKWP1281Lib is a library used for communicating with VAG control modules which use the proprietary VAG Key-Word 1281 protocol (KWP1281/KW1281), through an Arduino / ESP development board.
- Ability to use any method to send and receive data (best being a hardware serial port, or software serial if an additional port is not available)
- Connecting to any control module that supports KWP1281
- Reading the module's part number + extra fields
- Reading coding and WSC
- Reading the module's identification field (for example, the vehicle's VIN)
- "Login"
- "Coding" for changing the coding and/or WSC
- "Fault Codes" for reading stored fault codes and their status
- Clearing stored fault codes
- "Adaptation" for reading an adaptation value on a specified channel
- Testing an adaptation value on a specified channel
- Saving an adaptation value to a specified channel
- "Meas. Blocks" for reading for an entire measuring block (calculating actual value + providing proper units of measurement for any measurement and providing text strings for those that require it)
- Reading ROM / EEPROM (firmware)
- "Output Tests"
- "Basic Settings"
- Ability to keep the connection alive while doing other tasks
- "Security Access"
- Measurement / DTC labels or descriptions
