The A0 in the latest in Macchina's line of OBD-II interfaces. The A0 uses the power of the ESP32 BLE and WiFi module to allow for wireless access to the OBD-II port most modern cars have.
The Macchina A0 module plugs directly into the OBD-II port found in most modern cars and receives its power from the port. From there, one can interface with the device through a few different methods. The easiest is with software such as SavvyCAN, Torque Lite on Android. Besides getting all on board diagnostic information, you're able to control certain aspects of the car and create cool projects such as dash-mounted, shift lights. The A0 can also be programmed in the Arduino IDE, so there's plenty of possibilities to customize the device for what you want to do with your car!

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- BLE
- BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy, a Bluetooth mode designed for lower power use and modern phone compatibility. It matters because BLE support can make the module easier to use with Apple devices and battery-powered projects, though it may behave differently from classic serial Bluetooth.
- ESP32
- ESP32 is a family of microcontroller modules with built-in wireless features such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Knowing this product uses an ESP32-based module helps explain how it provides wireless serial communication and firmware update features.
- IDE
- Short for Integrated Development Environment, a program used to write, run and manage code. It matters because some learners prefer a traditional coding workspace instead of a guided notebook-style lesson.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
- Torque
- A twisting force that causes something to rotate, usually measured in newton-metres or kilogram-centimetres. It matters when choosing motors, servos, gears, and tools because higher torque is needed to lift heavier loads, turn larger wheels, or move mechanisms without stalling.
