Short answer: yes

Good stuff there for DC-DC power and handling some of the other
base-level stuff.

I've been working a circuit that interfaces with the OBD-II port in my
F-150, with the goal of adding some more real-time info to what is
easily available.

Like so many other things, it's really not *difficult* just
time-consuming...
