GT06ScannerClient

Has anyone managed to get the below working please?

https://github.com/lmandres/GT06ScannerClient

I have tried several things to try and get it working but i have not yet managed, i have a USB GPS attached to a laptop, i can see the GPS working on xgps but it is not working,

Thanks in advance for any support or suggestions

I read the description multiple times, but still don't understand what this tool does. What is it for?

Hi,

It is supposed to be a script to use Linux/Ubuntu to send GPS to the Traccar server. so basically use Linux as a client.

Wonder why GT06 protocol. Why not just use something HTTP based.

Thanks Anton,

That i dont know, i am simply looking for an easy way to have the GPS from the USB GPS sent to the Traccar server to be able to track a Linux device.

Any ideas or instructions appreciated

Thanks

Have you tried this:

Hi Anton,

i tried that GT06ScannerClient as well, it seems to be doing something as i can see in the server log:

2022-05-13 12:47:06  INFO: [fb47bf8b: gt06 < XX..XX.XXX.XX] HEX: 78780c01012345678910110001ca440d0a
2022-05-13 12:47:06  WARN: Unknown device - 123456789101100 (XX.XX.XXX.XX)

I added a new device with the ID 1234567891011 on the server, in the client config the port setting is 5023. i can see my location on a map on the client pc running the script however, in our TRACCAR server the device stays offline.

I read through the trouble shooting but I'm stuck. Any ideas?

Sorry, typo

ID added on the server is 123456789101100

If you added the device why does it still show as unknown?

No idea but a reboot and patience fixed it.

Can confirm that GT06ScannerClient works with Traccar

Hello @ifinnan. Did you manage to get the GT06ScannerClient script working? Perhaps I can help.
