amazing new stuff
can this be wired in if your already using the canbus port?
Yes, theoretically you can connect as many as 254 devices to CAN bus.

Congratulations @rpasichnyk!
Tons of hard work & effort put into this project and it certainly shows.

Congratulations on the Launch.
Testing the module was great fun and at first i didn’t think metr could get any better. Metr products are one of, if not the most favorite pieces of Esk8 equipment i own.

Yes, but currently, when transferred to the phone, record will still be compressed like usual. There is a limitation on the server for the record size, that’s why

In that case it would be split or number of data points would be reduced to fit?
But if I can still plug the SD on my pc and get the full log it’s good

Micro SD? What kind of file size are the logs, to ask what amount of storage is needed?
*edit zoomed in on the pic, def micro.

Yes you can. A tool would be required for decoding the format, but we can fix that.
About 2-3 megabytes per hour.

So it’s not the same as current app format files I can download through iTunes? That my script can already understand and work with, but no worries if you can help

I presume it needs a 5v supply so can’t check batery charge status unless VESC is on

VESC has to be ON, yes.
I know there is a use case when FlexiBMS is ON and VESC is OFF. Theoretically it should be possible to take 5v from FlexiBMS and operate without VESC but that would require a lot of changes in the software. Can not promise when it can be done, but it can be done.

Awesome piece of tech, very well made and I feel honoured I could design the case for it

Oh man. This looks awesome and My metr pro is the most usefull esk8 tool i own. I Always recommend people buy a metr and i really want another uart back but . . .
FUCK ME that price is STEEP.
Not sure about in the rest of EU but for us in UK this works out at just under £125 with logging and gps. not sure i can justify that just so i don’t have to have my phone connected.

Going to chime in on this too. The Infinity Logger does the same thing for $56.
I understand the software development of this takes a lot of time and is an ongoing thing, but paying nearly €150 for this is ridiculous. I can buy a decent ESC for that money.
Its about €30 in hardware; pcb, antenna, whip and chips included.
Could not disagree more. A functional, useful device requires a lot more than just raw hardware components. The software development costs that go into creating embedded devices (with accompanying mobile development) are a considerable amount of the overall development labor that goes into producing a complete product like this.
4 years of development doesn’t appear out of thin air, and you’re also paying for the technical support and documentation efforts that have gone into the project. The assembly costs, QA/QC labor, import costs, & warranty overhead. These all add up.
By all means, one sets their own value in any purchase, but it’s completely unfair & inaccurate to try to value a product at hardware component cost alone.

I did, which is why I said everyone is welcome to value things as they see fit.
I’m pointing out that citing hardware component cost here is a false equivalence in a product that is 95% software development in regards to labor spent. BOM cost is largely irrelevant.
