  • Slightly faster connection if using SetConnectToLastAdapter especially in crowded Bluetooth areas.
  • Added ConnectionState 'Heartbeat' that will be raised when a heartbeat is received from the adapter.
  • ConnectionState 'DataChanged' is no longer raised when a heartbeat is received from the adapter. It is now only raised when actual data is received from the adapter.
  • The Demo App sets WaitForDisconnect prior to disconnecting. This is highly recommended if re-connection is possible immediately after disconnecting.
  • ConnectionState 'Connected' has been removed from the Demo App. This was confusing as it only appled to the Bluetooth connection and not the adapter connection.

  • Updated the Demo App to reflect the above changes.
  • Updated the documentation to reflect the above changes.

Version 23.10:

  • Improved adapter connection and reconnection. The last, secured, or previous adapter id will be used to attempt a direct connection to the adapter prior to scanning for an adapter.
  • Added default values MinIntervalDefault, DiscoveryTimeoutDefault, MaxConnectAttemptsDefault, MaxReconnectAttemptsDefault, BluetoothRecycleAttemptDefault, and AdvertisementTimeoutDefault.
  • Added API connection notifications.
  • The SetNotificationsOn method will start/stop API notifications along with Adapter notifications.
  • The Demo app saves settings when they are changed.

Version 23.11:

Version 23.12:

  • Added method GetELDData that will only retrieve RPM, Speed, Distance/Odometer, and Total Hours with optimum settings. See the Demo app getTruckData, group 6.
  • Added method GetKeyState that will double check if the ECM is powered up and sending data. See the Demo app function checkKeyState for how to use it properly.
  • Added ConnectionState J1939Started that will be raised when the API is connected and the J1939 CAN bus is available (key is turned on). See the Demo app function setJ1939Starting.

  • ConnectionState J1939Starting will be raised only after connecting to the adapter, either when the key is turned on or immediately after authentication if the key is already on.
  • Added option for the Demo App to kill itself on exiting (see onBackPressed).

  • Renamed ConnectionState J1939Starting to CANStarting to reflect CAN Starting for either J1939 or OBD2.
  • Removed property SetIgnoreDataBuses because the properties IgnoreJ1939/J1708/OBD2 are required for the Adapter to connect to the correct ECUs.
  • Removed method UpdateSecurity because security parameters must be set prior to connecting to the Adapter.
  • Added property SetDisconnectedReboot that will instruct the Adapter to reboot at a set interval when not connected to the App (Firmware 3.12+). Note with Firmware 3.12+ the interval is fixed at one hour. With Firmware 3.15+ the interval is set with the property.
  • Added properties IsKeyOn and IsKeyOff that will check for key on/off and if off will set RPM, Speed, PctLoad, PctTorque, DrvPctTorque to 0.
  • Added property SendAllPackets that will instruct the Adapter to send all J1939 VIN, Make, Model, etc data packets at one time instead of in a conversational manner. This also applies to the ELD VIN.
  • The Adapter will wait to initiate a CAN connection until all Adapter data has been retrieved by the API. The previous API version initiated the CAN connection when the Adapter is authenticated.
  • The ConnectionState AdapterMessage will always return a complete message.
  • Compatible with Firmware 3.7.
  • The Demo App will show the API Beta version.
  • Updated the Demo App to reflect the above changes.

Version 24.2:

  • Properties IgnoreJ1708 and IgnoreOBD2 default to true (ignore both J1708 and OBD2) and IgnoreJ1939 defaults to false (retrieve J1939 data); If you want to retrieve J1708 or OBD2 data you must explicitly set them to false.
  • The API will not allow retrieving J1939/J1708 data along with OBD2 data (see below).
  • Setting IgnoreJ1939 or IgnoreOBD2 to false (retrieve J1939/J1708 data) will set IgnoreOBD2 true (ignore OBD2).
  • Setting IgnoreOBD2 to false (retrieve OBD2 data) will set IgnoreJ1939 and IgnoreJ1708 true (ignore them both).
  • Setting both UseBLE and UseBT21 on will cause the API to auto discover the Adapter (same as if they are both set off).
  • If UseBLE/UseBT21 are changed, or both set, or both not set, the API will reset the Previous Adapter Id, Discovery Timeout, and Advertisement Timeout.
  • Updated the Demo App to reflect the above changes.

Version 24.3:

  • Added Send button to Send/Monitoring. Note, sending PGN data will continue based on the interval until either stopped, navigated to Truck/ELD data, or disconnected.

Version 25.3:

  • Fixed retrieving J1708 (6-pin) Distance and Odometer when they are different. Note, this can occur when the engine or cab/body/instrument ECMs are changed and the distance values are not synced between the two.
