Standalone Diagnostic Node

CANsole Touch

A standalone CAN and OBD diagnostic node. Power it on, pick a preset, go to work.

Touch is the field side of CANsole. Built around an ESP32-S3 with a 7″ touch display, it boots straight into a working diagnostic environment. No laptop, no host application, no wait for a USB enumeration to settle.

Standalone Capabilities

A diagnostic node, not a display.

Touch is more than a CAN data viewer. It carries a slice of the CANsole runtime — enough to monitor a bus, run a preset-based simulation, and report status to whoever is listening.

Power-on workflow

Plug into OBD or 12 V, pick a preset on the touchscreen, and you’re running. Boot · preset · diagnose. Three steps from cold to live.

Live bus monitor

Watch CAN traffic on the device itself: rolling frame counts, filtered IDs, decoded OBD/UDS responses, and signal-level overlays.

Test patterns

Send specific frames, run a periodic pattern, or drive a small ECU simulation from a preset — all from local touch controls.

OBD & UDS workflows

Read PIDs, query DIDs, set or clear DTCs, walk through diagnostic sessions — the workflows you actually run on a bench, on the device itself.

Wi-Fi & USB control

Run standalone, or accept commands from Studio over Wi-Fi or USB. The local UI and the remote controller are coequal — either can drive the device.

Status at a glance

The screen always shows what matters: bus state, TX arm status, error counts, active preset. No menu diving to find out what the device is currently doing.

Hardware

Built on ESP32-S3 touch hardware.

The reference target is an ESP32-S3 board with a 7″ capacitive touchscreen — something like the WaveShare 7″ ESP32-S3 dev kit. Production hardware will track similar specs.

Pair Touch with Studio for the full picture.

Touch holds its own as a standalone tool. But pair it with Studio, and the same node becomes a remote diagnostic surface in a larger setup.
