Infinity Logger (iLogger) - Micro SD, GPS, WIFI, CAN, UART, Tool App

You only have to connect it to one vesc. It has two CAN ports so that you can more easily connect all three CAN nodes (each vesc is a node and the iLogger is a node) in parallel. Im pretty sure iLogger only grabs data from the Master VESC.

@WavRX can you confirm this? Does iLogger log from all connected nodes simultaneously? Or just the master VESC?

@StriateZebra It can run from a single ( Vesc + iLogger being terminal) or multiple Vescs (Vesc 1 + iLogger + Vesc 2 being terminal). I provided two CAN connector cables, one has all 4 wires, and one has only 2 (CANL and CANH to prevent accidental misuse), you use the first connector to power up the iLogger, and the second connector cable to chain over the CAN bus to your other Vesc if any.

@BenjaminF iLogger is able to communicate with all connected nodes simultaneously, it can log data from all vescs as well as any supported BMS.
The initial fw testing release won’t have BMS support enabled yet, I’m going to need a couple of testers with DieBieMS and/or FlexiBMS to give it a test run before releasing an update.

Within the first week, I plan to release a major update to address all bugs/compatibility/fixes requests, notably:

  • Testing compatibility with different Vesc firmware/hardware
  • Dual vesc logging
  • App compatibility with different iOS/Android devices
  • DieBieMS/FlexiBMS testing

This is a cool device thanks for bringing it, will it play nice on the same board in between a Metr pro and a FreeSK8 Robogotchi?

/s

Seriously tho & before any creditcard trigger-pull I’m having trouble finding the app on my POS iPhone 6 on iOS 12.4.6 (latest version for the h/w). Has the phone screwed me again for the third time this mth with incompatible h/w version?

I’ll tell you what’s cool about Metr, it does not give a shit how crap your phone is, it does not care if you are android or ios and it will even run on a $50 andriod smart watch.

I mean I even got akmaniac’s thing to work there too


But yeah SD/GPS to not have to liase with another piece of h/w is killer, congrats

@magharees Thanks :+1: The iLogger app is not yet published on the Apple/Google stores, hence not being able to find it yet :grin:

It should run on most devices without any major issues, what I was referring to is mostly UI/Scaling tweaks if any. The app should also have no problem running on smart watches, I should be able to get it running on those platforms as soon as initial beta testing is done.

I’m not sure yet as I have not tested for that, but technically speaking, CAN bus doesn’t care about how many devices are tangled together, iLogger sends request messages to connected vescs and waits for telemetry data. I don’t see any immediate reason why it wouldn’t work.

compatible and external antenna FTW?

Looks like that would work, from their description “NEMA output format is compatible with NEO-6M”. Just connect Power/GND/Tx/Rx to the GPS port.

Just got my tracking info, its happening! :grinning:

I shipped out the first batch yesterday, if you didn’t receive an email it means that you are in the second batch.

Currently working on getting the App approved in time for Google Play and Apple store. Apple store verification is taking forever tho.

I’m updating the setup guide page to reflect all the changes I have been working on, and should probably start an Update/Suggestions/development thread soon to start gathering beta feedback :ok_hand:

First suggestion:
Make a jumper for the GPS voltage selection. The typical GPS for drones (e.g. NEO M6) come with their own regulator wanting 5V input. But should be no problem to have a solder jumper on the backside right next to the connector where you can select either 3.3V or 5V for GPS VCC.

Are there any way iLogger Files can be exported as a Json file?

@Giga Thanks for the suggestion, even tho most GPS modules have their own voltage regulator, it is totally fine to run them at 3.3v, in fact it is also safer and less power loss on the regulator.

When a ride is uploaded to the cloud, you get a unique URL, in the above sample the upload ID is c9. I made a fetch interface where you can input ride ID and it returns the logged data in form of a JSON response.

Ordered a GPS with an external antenna plug and will use an waterproof antenna on a 3d printed bolt cover. My deck is carbon fibre so GPS has to be topside. What is the ETA on batch #2?

Woot!

Got mine a couple days ago. Just waiting for the app now. :slight_smile:

@Movation Nice, which GPS is that? I’m starting batch 2 very soon, this time it is going to be much faster because the critical testing and development are already done from batch 1.

@Skyart @Kalitapaws I’m glad you guys received yours already :slightly_smiling_face: My guess is that the Android version will be reviewed faster than the Apple store, but we will see.

I have also worked on a major update since I shipped the modules, so a FW update for the iLogger will be available as soon as the app is approved.

Btw, I do not have access to a physical Android phone, be prepared to witness some breaking bugs :boom: :hammer:, please be gentle :grin:

Man i’m super pumped about it, even if i have nothing to do with it :smiley:

@Movation Cool! That should work, can’t wait to see how it performs.
