Absolutely, you can log data at intervals quicker than 1 second with AutoPi, including PID logging and raw CAN message capture, and upload it to the cloud. Check out this AutoPi blog for a clear guide and video tutorial: www.autopi.io/blog/discover-hidden-functions-in-your-car-with-can-bus/

You find examples and how to use one with our AutoPi Cloud, through our guide here: www.autopi.io/blog/the-meaning-of-dbc-file/ Hope that helps :)

@luckymutibo9848 You're very much welcome! :)

Hello, If you're referring to its ability to detect a 'check engine light' or similar warning indicators, then yes, the AutoPi can indeed do this, by connecting to your vehicle's OBD-II port. For more details on how it reads and resets fault codes, check out: Read and Reset Fault Codes from Your Vehicle ( www.autopi.io/blog/read-and-reset-fault-codes-from-your-vehicle/ ) Also, the device you're seeing is a legacy model. Please take a look at our updated versions, the AutoPi TMU-CM4 ( www.autopi.io/hardware/autopi-tmu-cm4/ ) and AutoPi Mini ( www.autopi.io/hardware/autopi-mini/ ), for enhanced features.

If your CAN bus has proper termination, you can see the messages sent from your device. This means either your device acts as the termination or there's another component on the bus providing this termination. Directly addressing your question, you should be able to view transmitted data from candump on the AutoPi device. However, your current setup might lack proper CAN termination. To enable this on the AutoPi, execute the command spm.query usr_pins high=can0_term. If you're using the can1 interface, use can1_term instead of can0_term. Hope that helps!

Hello @tdkdhm The AutoPi telematics device offers a wide range of functionalities by interfacing with vehicles through the OBD-II port. To answer your question directly: Cloud Access: The primary and most comprehensive access to the device's features is via the AutoPi Cloud. By logging into this cloud portal, you get access to the main features and functionalities. And the good news is that you're able to purchase the device and get lifetime access to the cloud. Local Access: Now, while the AutoPi can be accessed locally via a wifi hotspot, it's worth noting that this method provides only a fraction of the features. The AutoPi telematics device operates on the AutoPi Core system, which is built on the foundation of the Raspberry Pi OS. This allows for direct local connection over a network, usually using SSH or other local networking methods. However, remember that for local access, you'd typically need the device's local login credentials unless set up otherwise. So in essence, while you can access it locally, to fully harness its capabilities, the cloud is the way to go. Take a look at the devices here: shop.autopi.io/ I hope this provides a clearer picture. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you for your detailed comment @bennguyen1313. You're right; Vector's DBC format predates CanOpen, so it doesn't have built-in PDO/SDO specifics. If you're working with EDS/DCF files (standard formats for CanOpen devices), there are tools that can convert them to DBC. Without these files, it's a bit more hands-on. Here's a brief guide: 1. Thoroughly study the PDF documentation for CAN frame structures. 2. Decode or reverse engineer the CAN frames to find the data's location. 3. Convert the CAN frame header from hexadecimal to decimal. 4. Craft a DBC file using this info, detailing data location, length, and any needed transformations. Remember, as long as a device uses standard CAN frames, you can craft a DBC file for it, even if it involves some manual effort. I hope that clears things up a bit. Let me know if you have more questions! 😊

Hey @i_am_djent! We get where you're coming from. Good news-we're listening and we've got a bunch of new videos in the pipeline. Stay tuned, it's gonna be awesome! 😎

Hi Estaban, most of the time yes, that is how you get the device turned on. However, you are also able to remotely turn on your device, take a look here: docs.autopi.io/guides/remotely-waking-up-your-device/.

No, DIMO has its own project, and AutoPi helps them with theirs. We have our own projects as well.

Be sure to check it out: www.autopi.io/

That's an interesting thought. A DIY version of AutoPilot has not yet been a use case, but who knows what the future will bring. Definitely! AutoPi does support Electric Vehicles, check it out: www.autopi.io/electric-vehicles/.

Hi @arrowghost Have you seen our new TMU CAN FD device? It is the future of telematics data and provides endless possibilities for your projects. Check it out here: www.autopi.io/hardware/autopi-telematics-unit-can-fd/

Its a 3rd party IOS app

Hi Nick. That sounds like a great idea. We can definitely help you further. Please, contact us on [email protected] and our support team will help you find the best option for your company :)

Hey. That sounds amazing! Please, contact us as [email protected], in order for us to assist you further.

You can download the Car Scanner from the App Store or Torque/Torque Pro from the Google Store. Best, Team AutoPi

Hi Muhammad, Thank you for connecting, we can recommend that you read this blog here: www.autopi.io/blog/speak-to-your-car-like-kitt-from-knight-rider/, we used Google Assistant SDK with the Python version. Best, Team AutoPi

If you have any questions about specific projects, you can write to our support team at [email protected] and they will be happy to help you set it up. Best, Team AutoPi

Sounds great, good luck with your project!

Hi dosso96, The app was made for traditional vehicles, so you might need to make some configuration to get data out of electric cars. Best, Team AutoPi

Hi dosso96, Thank you for connecting. Could you send an email with your case to [email protected] and I am sure they can assist you with it. Best Regards, Team AutoPi

What's the difference between AutoPi and Dimo? Is it the same company?

@@RedDragonProtection Hi Eric, no we're not the same company. DIMO is using our hardware as its infrastructure. AutoPi has multiple use cases from different companies around the world. Take a look: www.autopi.io

Hi Josh, When scanning the protocol for the first, the car was on, but the rest of the time it was off. However we powered the AutoPi (from car battery and external power supply) and also turned off Auto Sleep Mode so it doesn't go to sleep.

We are very happy to hear that!

Thank you Andrew!

They differ from car version to car version..

Hi Qasim. The video is an example of what you can make with your AutoPi. The demonstration was built on a standard implementation to Google and took us about a day to setup.

is it possible to make a video about it?

@@UNPhantom93 absolutely, this is something thats on our todo list. Once we get to it we will post it here also.

Still waiting on more videos on how to and it's been 2 year lol

The AutoPi uses the bluetooth connected provided by the Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless. So any limitations would be in this, but I dont think its a limitation you will ever reach. The device is powered from the vehicle battery, directly out of the OBD port. No extra wires needed. For the 4G edition, you need a data SIM to use the full data connection in the AutoPi. We dont have any monthly subscription, but you need a sim from your local network carrier. Unfortunately we dont provide you with a camera in our setup, but its easy to add a USB camera through one of the USB ports. You can use that for your machine vision project.

Hi Andre. The demo was built on Google Assistant and the language setup is defined in this platform. Portuguese should be supported.

Sure. The video is an example of how to use Google Assistant together with AutoPi. You could name the assistant anything, this is part of the Google Assistant setup.

Hi @frank diaz. Yes its possible to changes the contents of the widgets, that is the data shown in the widgets. As of right now we dont have support for custom themes, but this is something which is on our roadmap.

Hi James, This is an example of some of things you can do with the AutoPi. It does however come with a number of built in features already. Some of these includes: - A custom dashboard, where you can configure your own widgets - A historic trips overview, where you can explore data from previous trips - An If-this-then-that trigger based system - An explorer to view what possibilities there is in your vehicle You can see them all here: www.autopi.io/software-platform/dashboard
