Is there more information about the M8 connector for us start building out an accessory while waiting for the Tracker One to ship?
The pin-outs are available in the datasheet now.

The M8, 8-pin, IP67 connector is standard, but kind of hard to find. The diameter is a 8mm. While there are other connectors like M12 that are more common, using a larger connector would have required a taller case.
We will have for sale a M8 8-pin female to leads cable. The specifics may vary but picture something like an M8 8-pin female molded right-angle connector on one end of a 1 meter round cable with the other end stripped and tinned leads. You could then pass the wires through a gland in your expansion case and you would then terminate the wires on your custom expansion board. The details and price will be available closer to release.
Any update on when the M8 connector will be available for sale? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
It’s available in the retail store now and in stock:
Hi @C0D3MAN!

@Adam42 Thank you for the information!
Thank you! I was unable to find it using the online store because it doesn’t show up in the Tracking category or the accessories list either. Doing a search found it though. Appreciate the help finding it.
