Freematics ONE+ traccar edition

hi

I have just got this device ? Is it possible to test if this works ? ie, is there a way to check what server/port etc is configured on it from factory ?
The instructions here are very limited, has anyone writtern a blog or Howto to get jumpstarted on the device ?

I am on a macos so I cannot use the freematics arduino builder.

I believe it should be configured with a demo server, so I think you should be able to test it straight away.

thanks...

I saw that it works, however ...

  1. It was not tracking unless I use the GPS antenna, looks like there is no PCB antenna on the unit, which would take over if external one is not present.
  2. Also it does not seem to have a back-up battery which would keep the device ON when the ignition is off.

Has anyone done any mods to make it work ?
for (2) I guess this (https://www.amazon.com/TalentCell-Rechargeable-3000mAh-Lithium-External/dp/B01M7Z9Z1N) can do the trick...
The 12V can be hooked up to the car battery.. not sure of (1)

Never mind, I figured out the thing I was calling antenna is actually the GPS receiver, it wont work without it...
Still looking to see if I can put a battery-backup.. on the device...
