Freematics - Vehicle Telematics With Open-Source Hardware

Making it possible, accessible, and affordable to carry out vehicle telematics projects with open-source hardware and mobile gadgets

For many years and till this day, I am the author of MediaCoder. While developing and maintaining my video transcoding software, I am also an open-source hardware enthusiast, and at the same time very interested in vehicle telematics, which is basically about measuring my car’s performance and recording my driving history. That's why I started this project two years ago which is now named - Project Freematics.

The name of Freematics stands for Free (as in freedom) and Telematics. The goal of this project is to make it possible, accessible, and affordable for people, especially makers, to carry out vehicle telematics projects with open-source hardware, more specifically Arduino, the most popular single-board microcontroller platform.

Telematics, more specifically vehicle telematics, refers to the use of telecommunications and informatics systems within road vehicles. Practical applications of vehicle telematics include [...].
