Master baker tier. Every paragraph earns its place on the tray.
Summary
The FreeMDU project provides open-source hardware and software tools that enable communication with Miele appliances via their optical diagnostic interface. This serves as a free alternative to Miele's proprietary Diagnostic Utility (MDU) software, which is restricted to registered service technicians. The project includes hardware designs for infrared transceivers, software for communication, and documentation for accessing diagnostic data from Miele appliances manufactured after 1996.
