New year is really approaching and we are giving out special discounts for your new kits and gears to play with in the year of 2019. New year resolution? What about driving into the world of vehicle telematics and open-source hardware? That’s good and we will always be here to support you. Happy new year everyone from Sydney Australia!
For all our vehicle telematics kits and gears (emulator products excepted), get a 15% discount by using coupon code FRENZY2018 on checkout. Head to our online store now.
UPDATE: Coupon expiration date extended. $1,000 minimum order amount applies.
Freematics OBD-II UART Adapter V2 has been upgraded. The new V2.1 is completely compatible with V2 and has several enhancements including:
The new version will start to ship in no more than 2 weeks time from now. Meanwhile, the V2 is out of stock but you can still place order for them and we will ship V2.1 instead when the stock come.
Freematics Hub is a free telematics server software that is based on the design of Freematics Hub and is perfect for use with Freematics ONE+ (and literally any programmable telematics devices). It runs on any computer and turns it into a telematics data center that receives and stores data from remote telematics devices through cellular network, WIFI or even USB. Live data and geographic locations are stored as local files and instantly displayed on a concept user interface. More importantly, the software running as a server provides a set of REST APIs for access live and history data for further development.
We will release the software together with Freematics ONE+ shortly.
UPDATE (July 3rd): Beta version now available for downloading!
We have been working on a new 3G WCDMA/GSM xBee module for Freematics ONE vehicle data logger. It’s based on SIMCOM SIM5360E. Comparing to former SIM800L based GSM/GPRS xBee module, the new comer will provide a faster data link and more importantly continue to work in regions where 2G network is about to be shut down (like Australia).
Today we are happy to announce the release of the new module as a new option for Freematics ONE, which can be ordered and shipped with Freematics ONE right away. Head to our online store to place your order now.
Freematics ONE now comes with MPU-9250 MEMS sensor! The supporting Arduino library and example sketches (in Github) have been updated for 9-axis MEMS data access. To order Freematics ONE with MPU-9250, make sure to choose MPU-9250 in MEMS option on the order page.
Code clip of accessing MEMS data.
int acc[3]; // accelerometer data
int gyr[3]; // gyroscope data
int mag[3]; // magnetometer data
int temp; // device temperature (in 0.1 celcius degree)
if (memsRead(acc, gyr, mag, &temp)) {
// success
...
}
The hardware development of Freematics ONE is finalized and first batch of 500pcs has been manufactured and is now being tested. Since many have expressed interest in the new product, we hereby publish some close look pictures and details of it.
If you are a developer, you may have interest to take a look at the open-source reference firmware (a.k.a sketch) that is still being developed.
This will push the bond between open-source hardware and vehicle telematics to next level! Please stay tuned for update.
