I've received a couple PMs asking what tools I'm using to sniff the CAN bus. Below is a pic of the VB.net app I wrote to display the info. I took a cue from radensb's screenshots for layout.

The left panel shows the CAN messages. Once the Lock Values button is pushed, all of the current values are saved and if any of them change they are highlighted in red. This makes it easy to see changes.

If you click on a byte, it will show the individual bits in the Show Bits section. Then you can click on a single bit, which will lock the green block to that bit. It will show green for 1 and red for 0. This makes it easy to see changes from far away when messing with the car.

I'm going to work on this some more over the next couple weeks before I let anybody else use it. I still need to add OBD PID polling so that info can be logged too. Just thought I'd share. It only works with a CANUSB adapter.
