Input String Error -Number Format Exception Starlink Tracker

Hi Anton,

I have recently acquired a new Starlink Tracker from Israel. I setup up the device and realized that it was not reporting any thing when I checked the logs. I have found this error:

2018-03-23 11:30:55 DEBUG: [CF203F1C: 5136] HEX: 24534c553335323335333038303438343630302c30362c32372c3138303332333131333031372c30312c3138303332333131333031372c2b303533362e343030342c2d30303031322e303337312c3030302e322c3033382c3030303030302c30303035332c33343330382c31322e3433372c30332e3433352c312c39392a34460d0a

Am using Traccar version 3.15.
Please any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

What format are you using?

Hi Anton,
Thank you for the quick response.

I dont how to determine the format. I would be very grateful if you could help me on how to set the format.

Thank you.

It's configured on the device side. If you don't know what the format is I would recommend contacting device vendor support.

Hi Anton,

I contacted the vendor. They said the PROTOCOL FORMAT IS TEXT.

They gave me this link https://sweb.erm.co.il/protocol/

Hi Anton,

I used the Hex Decoder on your site and it decodes the hex in this format:

$SLU352353080484600,06,96,180323122717,01,180323122717,+0536.4031,-00012.0399,000.5,281,000001,00053,34308,11.634,03.447,1,99*72

Thank you.

Hello Anton,

Thank you very much for your support. I really appreciate it. I stepped through the protocol's code and was able to set starlink.format parameter and everything is working fine now.

Thank you very very much

So, you knew the format? That's exactly what I asked.

Hi Yunus/Anton,
Where do i need to set starlink.format ?
i am facing similar issue.

Config file.

Hi Anton,
I have added starlink.format=text in Wrapper.config file but still i am getting same error.

You have to use format string, not just word "text".

I have used below format string but same error.

starlink.format=#EDT#,#EID#,#PDT#,#LAT#,#LONG#,#SPD#,#HEAD#,#ODO#,#LAC#,#CID#,#VIN#,#VBAT#,#SAT#

If you get same error, it means that format is incorrect.
