Power over OBD2 question
Posted: Sun Aug 13, 2017 8:22 pm
So I have now got some CAN data over OBD2 logging, so I'm plugging the RCP into the OBD2 port as well as the regular hardwired switched powersource.
My problem is that the OBD2 port appears to always be powered, so the only way to turn off RCP is to disconnect it from OBD. I know that I'll forget to reconnect it before hopping on track at some point, so is it possible to tell RCP not to take power from the CAN port, and only from the switched source? If not is there a more elegant solution to turning it off than unplugging the OBD2 port?
