After conducting extensive research on various technology stacks, it was decided to use Hardware ARM Cortex M0 based microcontrollers, for software development C/C++ was used. We started working with CANva’s tools for CAN bus data logger and Wireshark

Data Logger for a tracking device
A logging device was built by our customer to retain log data from a tracking device. In different countries, the problem was mostly with mobile network connections and availability. Tracking devices generate data that can only be viewed by connecting devices to a serial terminal. Previously, we had no idea why some devices were not working properly. To identify an exact cause, we found a way to view the data generated by the devices. Logger device helped to precisely figure out the problems
TECHNOLOGY CHOICE
THE CHALLENGE
Network availability was a major challenge in several countries to capture tracking data.
Troubleshooting tracking devices was most difficult without data visibility.
Adding a data logger to an existing tracker had capacity, size and cost limitations.
SOLUTION IMPLEMENTATION
We started working on firmware for a data logger that can continue to log data from tracking devices. In order to be easily placed and installed in a vehicle, we prepared a test box containing the tracking device and a data logger. After testing several times, we were able to successfully run a logger device that can continue to log data from the tracking device.
