I get it. There’s a slight irony though in limiting LTE data usage (and usage in general) only to have the costs carried to another of your LTE service subscriptions. I get it that that’s probably more cost-effective but allowing the user to make that decision (ie. I’ll buy another $15 top-up sooner in exchange for untethered functionality) would be a winner.
I’m gonna pass on this for now but I’ll be keeping a close eye on those firmware updates!
I don’t get the question, LTE-M is not using 2G networks (that’s why support is still limited in some countries). The reason for LTE-M is nrf9160 chipset by Nordic Semiconductor. They have great SDK with examples and it’s a pleasure to work with. The SiP works globally and the size is impressively small.
Such procedure does not exist at the moment.
No, Metr Pro CAN and Metr LTE are currently compatible with VESC-style CAN protocol.
Sorry for my novice understanding of setting this up with a dual controller setup (two VESC 6 MKV’s that are not internally CAN connected.) So would I just connect the Metr LTE CAN cable (with the larger connector I think JST PH?) to the CAN port on VESC1, but the other cable it came with has two smaller form factor 4 pin connectors (one side will go into the Metr LTE, and where would the other side connect to?) Perhaps a simple diagram or picture would help a lot and be greatly appreciated.
Also is there any sort of tutorial or instructions or any documentation showing how to use the GPS features once everything is connected? Thanks much for all your hard work!
Updated firmware, plugged LTE into one CAN port that my Metr Pro is connected via UART. I tested the tracking, and it’s saying Im in Germany somewhere… but im definitely in Northern Virginia.
it can take a few seconds for the satellites to lock onto the GPS Module. It happens automatically, you just need to give it the chance to do it (i.e, not hiding in a bunker or something )
I think we just had 1 CAN cable included, sorry I will check with @hexakopter
You can solder a CAN splitter that goes between both VESCs and Metr Pro LTE. Or buy another one like these CAN bus cable – shop.metr.at, Metr LTE has 2 CAN ports which are already bridged.
