super cheap
only $4.79

by default it comes with their stock tracking sim, and software instructions. However you can install it on your own GPS tracking servers, with your own sim, (if you know how to do it as it will be way way cheaper than stock subscription model, like may be $20-60 a year all up I think). Chuck on a Payas you Go sim like amaysim $10 max for sim in 1 year max (if you okay with optus network), or like other telstra network sims as I prefer (personally, $20 max for sim in a year)

then its easy to track your cars, keyrings, suitcase or whatever you want to put it on. Battery life is quite good like 1 month ish.

    Just realised we could also just use the demo servers from traccar too. (its free server) so $0 server costs.

    https://www.traccar.org/demo-server/

  • Mikael on 26/03/2024 - 22:43

    Installed traccar but couldn't get notifications to work. Ended up with ruhavik using my Turkish apple for a year for 500TRY (5 devices). So around $25.

  • c64 on 27/03/2024 - 16:06

    could someone measure the layout of the sim area

    could this sim card socket squeeze in? https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/37385/111466/sim.png

    there is also this, but i think it might be too big to solder directly onto the esim pads https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/37385/111468/sim2.jpg

    • bargaino on 27/03/2024 - 16:32

      Both are the wrong type.
      You need to use the row of 8 pads with 0.5" spacing. The last 2 are not used in modern SIMs, so a 6-pin is OK.

      This should fit: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005005898703545.html

      The pad row is 1,5,2,6,3,7,4,8. Ignore the last two for a 6-pin socket.

      • c64 on 27/03/2024 - 17:20

        ok, the one you linked flips open and is probably better than the others

        • Mikael on 27/03/2024 - 18:25

          Also jumped on. Just ordered one for $12 something and a sim card holder. Not the best solderer but gonna give it a go.

    • Mikael on 05/04/2024 - 10:43

      My wanway out for delivery today. Already got the sim socket from AliExpress. Not the best to solder. Anyone tried yet? Should be to remove the esim module with heat and then solder onto the pins and not using the first and last one?

      • bargaino on 05/04/2024 - 11:40

        check the pinouts. The 6-pin socket will be missing the last two, numbered 4 and 8. SIMs used to have 8 pads, but now only 6.

        https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/42865/111640/sim-socke…

        After removing esim, check for any shorts between the 8 solder pads.
        I think you want to glue the socket in place, apply external flux, then heat.

      • c64 on 05/04/2024 - 11:56

        i don't have one, but this should be the pinout https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/37385/111639/s20.png N/C = not connected

        do the 4 ground pins for the 6 pin tray holder shield match the PCB layout? or is the 6 pin nano tray holder narrower than the 8 pin micro holder? the datasheet says they are spaced 13mm apart. maybe an 8-pin micro-sim card tray is the optimal replacement part. might have to glue a nano tray

        edit: i think the 6-pin nano-sim trays will be off centre. i think MUP-C791 8P micro-sim card tray might fit the existing pads https://s3.amazonaws.com/snapeda/datasheetsDrawing-C791.pdf

        OK, I soldered the SIM socket in, quite easy I thought . It seemed to be a success.

        https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/42865/111727/sim-solde…

        But bad news, when powered on, no VCC or VPP is appearing on the pins.
        So kicking myself, I should have checked that on the pads before soldering.
        A virgin tracker with eSIM shows 1.8V on VCC and VPP. So I may have done some damage when removing the esim, or when adding the sim socket.

        Any suggestions before I attack the spare tracker (more gently) ?
        Mikael?

          Lol. Much better then I solder. Haven't gotten much further. Gonna get heat gun from father in law later this week so i can remove the esim module. They are home with covid after their cruise (surprise). I check the pads after removing the esim before soldering and post here. But won't be until few days.

          • bargaino on 08/04/2024 - 16:07

            @Mikael: My soldering iron did two pads at a time. I really should get a fine tip :)

            • Mikael on 08/04/2024 - 16:11

              @bargaino: As I said. I won't do it better. Just too many projects with soldering and keep putting them off. (Half way making an automatic lego sorter with RPI tensor flow and so on, don't think I finish it haha) Should practise more and perhaps invest in a good solder instead of a $10 one.

        • c64 on 08/04/2024 - 17:13

          looks like the 6 pin tray just fits in and one edge of the shield even solders down

          what is the resistance between VCC and GND on the sim tray? (with power off). near zero would indicate a short somewhere

          is the second bottom pad in the row of 8 pads soldered to anything? (shouldn't be). there is a big blob of solder there.

          besides the tray, there are also 1.8V and GND round copper test points closeby (you could also measure resistance between those points as well)

          • c64 on 08/04/2024 - 17:34

            @c64: looking at schematic for neoway N58 module, it supports two SIMs, and VCC for each SIM comes from the N58 module, either pin 21 or pin 35 https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/37385/111730/n58-vcc.p… . conveniently the pins are numbered on the N58. from the photos, pin 21 appears to be unused, pin 35 appears to be used, so measure the voltage between pin 35 and GND (pin 30 or pin 31). maybe the tracks run through vias to underneath the esim IC and have been damaged

            • bargaino on 09/04/2024 - 14:23

              @c64: Thanks,
              pin 35 indeed connects to Vcc on mine.
              So it seems to be software disabled. Perhaps the tamper switch? Before I opened it, 1.8V was present.
              Sadly i did not test between opening, and applying heat.

              If I had another spare, I might try removing esim, and adding regular one, without opening the case.

              But then you'd almost certainly need to revert the firmware?

              • c64 on 09/04/2024 - 17:56

                @bargaino: USIM1_VCC is described as "Both 1.8 V and 3 V SIM types are supported: activation and deactivation with an automatic voltage switch from 1.8 V to 3 V is implemented", so i assume it should just work for either sim card voltage.

                is the N58 powered? there should be 3.4-4.2V on VBAT (pin 27)

  • c64 on 18/04/2024 - 21:15

    i got my hands on one to continue the hack fest

    the thing will run straight off USB so i've also disconnected the battery, and the light sensor which looks fragile

    according to the manual, the red LED is for the battery, green LED is for GSM, and the blue LED is for location.

    USIM1_VCC is only powered up when the sim card is in use. it won't be powered up if the green LED is off

    i've taken off the esim and verified that the N58 module is still trying to communicate with the sim card (plug in USB, measure voltage between USB shield (GND) and USIM1_VCC and there is a momentary blip on the multimeter when the green LED flashes)

    i'll have a fiddle with the software for flashing the device to determine whether i can download the current firmware and upload new firmware

    • bargaino on 18/04/2024 - 21:39

      Thanks! please update us.

    • xdpx on 22/04/2024 - 10:41

      (apologies if you're aware already)
      Thread on bohdan git provides details for FW rollback (I think that was new FW in the former HW). I've not tried anything myself with this new eSIM device. Have 2 waiting.

      • c64 on 22/04/2024 - 11:14
        +1

        I had a look at it over the weekend. I don't think the existing firmware can be read from the Neoway 4G N58. It is designed to be secure.

        The linked method is for a 2G version which uses a different Mediatek MCU https://static.pepper.pl/comments/raw/A4zOt/16676217_1/re/10…

        The 4G N58 module is based on a Unisoc 8910DM MCU https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/37385/111981/n58-int.j…

        Replacing the eSIM IC with a card holder gives a working mobile connection. I could send SMS commands to the N58

        It might be possible to get the SDK for the N58 which would enable custom firmware (from scratch) to be flashed. The SDK provides an API for handling all the SMS, GPS, etc

        • bargaino on 22/04/2024 - 11:20

          Did you get SMS response with GPS location?

        • xdpx on 22/04/2024 - 11:25

          Ahh apologies. I had wrongly presumed the (new) module would respond to AT directly without any verify. If you've got sms you're part way there but, will probably get stuck at any device control commands (rather than simple read status & get info). If new device doesn't engage with AT and the sms auth PW is changed & unknown, it may be a harder hack than I was anticipating.

          • c64 on 22/04/2024 - 14:50

            @xdpx: yes, it has a USB interface that you can send AT commands directly to. you just need to install the 8910 drivers from the github repository, plug in the USB and it comes up with multiple interfaces (AT, modem, etc) that you can communicate with using putty https://github.com/bohdan-s/WanWay-Tech-S20/blob/main/Neoway… . it also has a USB interface for flashing firmware if you first send a specific AT command

            • xdpx on 22/04/2024 - 14:59

              @c64: OK, that's positive. So current status is that we don't yet have known path to mod & define the tracURL/IP or set and confirm a network data link via user-mod SIM. I saw your earlier comment about sms response, so that establishes some basic utility without the monthly sub (nice work :). Can you advise what info it returns on STATUS and VERSION sms query? You might get network data by using a sim from same network as the eSIM, hopefully the sms query (I think it was just APN) will return that info.

                  @c64: GPRS link up and signal indicate you've got mobile data link, a good start (although also means it can comm with the device's usual server). gps unfixed is likely because indoors, nothing to worry. the lockip error means, I speculate, that it is refusing the wwdss20 string to unlock config for IP.

                  Does APN# return any information? It used to return a1.net

                  Unfortunately I'm away for the next 3 weeks so will be a while before I can tinker with it. Someone on pepper appears to have had success with a similar FW version: https://www.pepper.pl/comments/permalink/17736119 [not sure in retrospect, it is likely last batch of old FW]

                  There was a comment on Git from Pawlak with a FW version of Y2517_S20_DS_1_V02_2023.05.02_1 [which to me reads a bit closer to what you're seeing with the new device]

                    @xdpx: APN is mdata.net.au . the SIM is ALDI payg, so i presume the APN is unlocked

                      @c64: Yes, appears they've left apn set alone (auto), presumably given the WW variant goes to a lot of destinations and it will roam from the Mobilkom A1 service-provider. url# and where# won't report anything whilst STATUS# gps reports 'UNFIXED' (or 'OFF' - mine activates only when moving/alert).

        Last order from tracker one I got esim. Got 2 of them now. Getting another one deliver d today from link in comments. Hopefully sim card one. Wondering if possible to change esim details to your own? Or totally locked the board? Perhaps an easier approach?

        • bargaino on 08/05/2024 - 11:37

          Did listing say sim card, or embedded sim?

        • c64 on 08/05/2024 - 12:24

          Is the label on the side of the box different? The SIM card ones I received are labelled X00160N2UX

          I think the eSIM ICs provide a unique SIM card number (IMSI). I don't think the firmware cares what card is in there, but changing the SIM profile on the eSIM IC probably involves using the N58 firmware. Maybe there is an AT command for setting the IMSI?

          I will try uploading a "hello world" program onto one of the eSIM trackers when I get time. If that works I think it would be straight forward to write some custom tracking firmware.

          I actually emailed Neoway Global a while back to see if I could get the SDK but they never responded. Someone seems to have uploaded the SDK for a different project here https://github.com/nivedita1811/N58_FW_Tork .
