Kind Link Note
Open PCB for a real ELM327 IC https://github.com/Spartelfant/ELM327-BT CC-BY-SA · third-party · not Elm Electronics
Open MCU schematic (compatible style) https://github.com/endurodave/OBDII-Adapter-Software MIT

Most store dongles are PIC-style clones that still speak ELM AT commands. ChatOBD2 targets that compatible class — no brand lock.
