Good day, which port should I use if I want to use tge Topin zx 620 gps?

Anton Tananaev 7 years ago

You would need to provide some message samples or protocol documentation.

Good day Anton
I am still waiting for the zx620 documentation,from the supplier. I just have another question

If I create a notification the following can be send as a API, I use $.ajax({ request
id: integer
type: string
always: boolean
web: boolean
mail: boolean
sms: boolean
calendarId: integer
attributes: object
I successfully created notifications, but I have to go into traccar to tick the box under device settings before it works.
I want to link it to a device, how can I do that with API request ? must I create a attribute ?

Check what official web app sends when you tick the checkbox.

Francois 7 years ago

Thanks for your quick response. How would I do that? I can not see anything when I right click inspect on browser?

Francois 7 years ago

Sorry, I got the answer. Permissions

The tracker-server.log file of the zx620 looks like, below, but I cannot make sense of it if I put it in the hex decoder, am I doing something wrong? I paste the 787812100000000000009000000000000000000020000d0a into decoder

It's a binary protocol, so obviously it won't give you any sensible information if you try to convert it into text.

Francois 7 years ago

Thanks for the reply, it looks like gt 06 protocol, just dont know why the location data is not working.

Anton Tananaev 7 years ago

It's not working because there is no location data.

Francois 7 years ago

Yes, I guess I need to send a command to the module to activate the gps. I have had the device outside for a while and it still did not get a location fix.

Francois 7 years ago
