The plug & play 2x CAN/LIN logger records timestamped CAN data (Classical/CAN FD) to the extractable 8 GB industrial SD card.
The compact device uses 3G/4G to securely push data to your own server - with OTA update support.
The device includes GNSS/IMU, adding data like position, speed, attitude, acceleration and more.
Ideal for telematics, R&D field tests, diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
Software/APIs are 100% free & open source - with no subscription fees or vendor lock-in.
Incl. GPS antenna (can be replaced by 2-in-1).
