Super Charged WiCAN Pro

Overview: WiCAN Pro (Forked Edition).

If you are looking for a way to pull live vehicle telemetry—like State of Charge, RPM, tire pressures, or raw CAN frames—and route it seamlessly into your smart home or custom servers, you are in the right place. Docs located at: Home · WiCAN Docs

What is the WiCAN Pro?

At its core, the WiCAN Pro is a powerful, ESP32-S3-based OBD2 and CAN bus interface. It plugs directly into your vehicle's diagnostic port and acts as a bridge between your car's internal networks and your Wi-Fi or Bluetooth devices. It supports standard OBD2 protocols (via an ELM327-compatible interpreter) as well as raw CAN bus monitoring and injection.

Why the Forked Edition?

The original (stock) WiCAN firmware was great for basic polling, but it relied on a "flat list" architecture. Every PID was polled blindly on a timer, which often resulted in network spam, slow update rates, and unnecessary battery drain when the car was off. Also, the stock documentation was dated and incomplete. I have created new Docs covering botht he stock and super charged functionality. See Home · WiCAN Docs

This Forked Edition completely rewrites the automation and networking engines. It transforms the WiCAN Pro from a simple OBD scanner into a highly intelligent, edge-computing telemetry node. If you wish to try out the WiCAN Pro forked firmware see the release Wambs Forked Firmware Releases

Hi
Thanks for the share but would be great if they started to ship the GSM/LTE module to goes with it as it's quite annoying to use it till then (share data connection of cellphone or other device in car :frowning:

Yep, I agree 100%. At least you can setup all the PIDs you want to get ready for the ESPNetLink.

The author of the device, Mr. MeatPI, had issues with the first batch ( ESPNetLink) he was testing, so he had to have the HW reworked. Now, the ship date is Jul 31, 2026. The original date was April 2026 that I remember.

Yeah I was quite surprised to read that and he had not a prototype working not earlier :frowning: I was really expecting it to be able to use at least my Wican pro that sleeps on shelf for a while now !
