Updates about next generation Freematics Vehicle Data Logger
As you may or may not know, we are working intensively on the next generation of Freematics Vehicle Data Logger.
Spec for next generation Freematics Vehicle Data Logger
Here comes the spec for the next generation of Freematics Vehicle Data Logger which is under intensive development.
- Directly plugged in and powered from OBD-II port
- Rapid access (up to 100 readouts per second) to OBD-II PIDs (including VIN & DTC)
- microSD seat for data storage up to 32GB
- MPU-6050 6-axis MEMS module for measuring lateral G-force
- Voltmeter for measuring battery voltage
- BLE module for wireless data communication with iOS and Android devices
- Micro USB port for live data access and history data downloading
- Firmware upgradable via BLE and USB
- SIM800 GSM module (micro SIM required) with GSM location support
- 10Hz U-Blox G7020 GPS module (external)
- Arduino compatible (ATMega328p as controller, Arduino libraries available for accessing all components)
- Dimensions: 60x48x20mm
Freematics Emulator iOS App Updated
Freematics Emulator iOS App (for both iPhone and iPad) has been updated. New protocol options for J1850 supported emulators have been added. We made some minor improvements to the UI too. Search “Freematics Emulator” in App Store to install it.
New enclosure for new Freematics Vehicle Data Logger
We are in the progress of designing and making new enclosure for Freematics Vehicle Data Logger. It will be smaller but more usable internal space for hosting two stacked PCB boards which is a for our appraoch of embedding cellcular connectivity into the device.
The 3D printed enclosure model.
New tester sketch for OBD-II Adapter
This new Arduino sketch is designed for testing out OBD-II Adapter (both model A and model B) and benchmarking the data access speed of OBD-II and MEMS sensor. It works with our OBD-II Telematics Kit #2 and #3 as well as an Arduino board stacked with any of the color LCD shields available in our online store.

Firmware bugfix for Freematics OBD-II Emulator MK2 (J1850 version)
A critical bug in the firmware of Freematics OBD-II Emulator MK2 (J1850 supported version) has just been fixed. This bug will cause the emulator to hang after the PID 010B is polled. This is a bug caused by a typo but seriously affects the stability of the emulator. It is strongly recommended all customers owning the hardware perform a firmware upgrade. Non-J1850-capable emulators are not affected. The latest firmware is distributed with the latest GUI software package.
We are truly sorry for this!
VIN reading added in OBD library
VIN reading was just added in OBD library and MegaLogger has it displayed. Code committed.
Duo Bluetooth module for Freematics Vehicle Data Logger
Duo Bluetooth module (BLE+BT 2.1) is now available as new wireless option for Freematics Vehicle Data Logger V3. That means any Bluetooth capable devices, old or new, 2.1 or 4.0, can connect with the same data logger.
