Recently I bought a “ConnectPort X5“ satellite system from Ax-Man Surplus, and wanted to see what it does. In this video we’re opening it up, poking around at all the parts inside, and then messing with the on-board computer and communications systems to see what it does.
This is the type of rooftop dome you’d see on a semi truck or other vehicle, allowing fleet owners to track and monitor their trucks and cargo. It has an Orbcomm satellite modem, GPS, Wifi, Xbee, Cellular modem, Ethernet, Serial port, and some other sensors and interfaces.
The hardest part was finding the power inputs for the weird interface block. This didn’t come with any hardware documentation, although the software documentation on the web panel is very extensive.
If anyone has suggestions for a way to use or repurpose this, please let me know in the comments!
