Important Firmware Update

An important firmware update is now available for the WiCAN PRO. This update includes significant improvements to sleep management (sleep mode is now enabled by default) and the web interface will remind users to keep it active. A periodic wake-up function has been added, allowing WiCAN to wake at intervals, send data, and then go back to sleep. This helps ensure the vehicle’s ECU can also return to sleep, preventing unnecessary battery drain. Make sure to set the “Sleep After” time as short as possible to help reduce power consumption and prevent battery drain.

In addition to sleep enhancements, this update introduces SD card logging and a powerful new dashboard. Parameters can now be stored in an SQLite database and the dashboard can load this database directly in the browser to generate charts and visualizations of your data. All users are strongly encouraged to update their firmware to take advantage of these improvements.

Even More Features Coming!

We recently ran a poll on Discord to see which new features users want to see next and the votes are in! The most requested feature was WiFi/BLE dual mode. The idea is to allow users to connect to apps like ABRP via Bluetooth while driving and then have WiCAN automatically switch to WiFi and connect to Home Assistant when they arrive home. This will make WiCAN even more versatile and useful, both on the road and at home.

Project Update

I’m happy to report that all units and campaign pre-orders have been delivered! More stock of WiCAN PRO is coming soon.
