The MyCANScan Project

MyCANScan is collection of CAN bus tools for the Toyota Prius hybrid car. In particular, it includes the graphcan application, which can display much more information than the standard Multi Function Display. MyCANScan is an Open Source project based on the "My Can Project" by Attila Vass. See also the Sourceforge project page.
