中while ((char) (c = (byte) in.read()) != '>')这句一直报空指针异常，不知道是怎么回事。

是不是你的in没有设置正确啊？给你个测试例子,在readResult方法中增加一个输出即可。

public static void main(String[] args) {
        ObdCommand obdCom = new ObdCommand("cmd", "desc", "resType", "impType");
        obdCom.setInputStream(System.in);
        obdCom.readResult();
    }

protected void readResult() {
        byte c = 0;
        this.buff.clear();
        try {
            while ((char) (c = (byte) inputStream.read()) != '>') {
                buff.add(c);
            }
            for (int i = 0; i < this.buff.size(); i++) {
                System.out.print(buff.get(i) + " ");
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
    } 

启动后在控制台输入we are ready>得到的结果如下；

we are ready>
119 101 32 97 114 101 32 114 101 97 100 121  

将对象这样赋值： InputStream in = null; 时，其实 in 并没有被正确的初始化，也就是分配空间。
后续使用时，如果直接给 in 赋值就会报错的。

在你的函数中判断下
if (in == null)
说明没有赋值

对于调用者，你需要传一个有效的输入流进来。
