Introducing Freematics Hub Service

Freematics Hub Service has been online for a while as a free cloud service for Freematics ONE+ developers to quickly test the connected vehicle telemetry hardware. It is based on the open-source Freematics Hub server software and allows users to easily access to live data collected from vehicle remotely as well as to review and analyze vehicle’s history routes and trip data. Freematics Hub provides REST API for access to live/history vehicle data. Freematics Hub Service provided with a set of web-based UI built on the API.

Home Screen

The home page of Freematics Hub Service consists of shortcuts to various features. A blank in the middle is where user enters device ID or E-mail (with pre-created account). It is most straight-forward to use device ID to start. The device ID is a unique string to identify a device and can be found in the serial output of Freematics ONE+ running telelogger. You can tick “Save My Info” to make it persistent with cookie for easy access next time. With that, click/tap on one of shortcut buttons one of below features.

  • Live Data – to remotely view real-time vehicle data and location
  • Trip Browser – to review vehicle’s history routes and data
  • Parking Meter – a simple parking location and time display (best view on mobile phone)

CAN bus sniffing APIs added for Freematics ONE+

We have just added CAN bus sniffing APIs to the Arduino library for Freematics ONE+. A simple CAN bus sniffing example sketch is also added.

CAN sniffing example sketch running from PlatformIO

CAN sniffing is interesting if you are have some insider information or good at reverse engineering, so some vehicle data outside the scope of standard OBD-II PIDs can be extracted.

Another product supporting CAN sniffing at the moment is Freematics OBD-II UART Adaper V2.1. This post has some information about the AT commands for CAN sniffing.

GNSS antenna for SIM5360

We now supply external GNSS antenna (SMA interface) for SIM5360 cellular module when you order Freematics ONE+. Using SIM5360’s internal GNSS is more cost-effective than standalone M8030 solution when 1Hz update rate and slightly longer satellite locking time are acceptable.

Freematics OBD-II UART Adapter V2.1 coming soon

Freematics OBD-II UART Adapter V2 has been upgraded. The new V2.1 is completely compatible with V2 and has several enhancements including:

  • 9-DOF motion sensor (instead of 6-DOF)
  • Built-in 9-DOF quanterion algorithm for orientation detection
  • New AT commands for reading calculated pitch, yaw, roll values
  • Unpluggable serial cable (easier for using as a USB adapter)

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.

UPDATE: Ready for order now!
