Globalstar protocol decode possible mistake

yuzz_pola year ago

Hi, in version 5.1 the protocol works correctly, processing the coordinates correctly. In the current 5.5 it processes them wrongly, giving a wrong position. I did a comparison of the source codes of both protocols using the files GlobalstarProtocol.java and GlobalstarProtocolDecoder.java and in both versions they are the same. Where can I go to find the problem? I can recompile the latest version with those files, will it change anything?

Can you please provide:

  1. Protocol documentation
  2. Logs from version 5.1

In the LOGS the protocol is found and correctly decoded. But since you have to do a process to convert the payload into coordinates, it seems that something went wrong there.
The documentation is heavy, you should send it by mail.

This should fix the problem:
