Freematics OBD-II Emulator GUI software updated
The GUI software for Freematics OBD-II Emulator has been reworked with Electron GUI framework. This solved a Windows 10 issue and more importantly Linux and OSX versions are coming soon.
MegaLoggerHD is released
MegaLoggerHD is a reworked version of MegaLogger which targets at the new Telematics Shield with 3.5″ LCD of 480×320 resolution designed for our OBD-II Telematics Advanced Kit. It supports both Freematics OBD-II I2C Adapter and UART Adapter V2 (by switching in config.h). The code has just been committed to github. This is the initial revision. Subsequent improvements will be followed.
