Micodus ML-100G v1.0

Sandor4 months ago

For future reference I just wanted to share an update regarding a compatible device:
Micodus ML-100G v1.0.

After sending a text message to the device

SERVER,1,my-domain.com,5015#

The device should respond with:

SET SERVER OK

And by opening port 5015 on my firewall and forwarding the messages to the same port n docker the device was 'recognized'.

Add 123456789999 as a device to your traccar application

Now the first messages started to appear

2024-07-13 07:34:55  INFO: Position filtered by Invalid Zero filters from device: 123456789999

Just wait until it has a GPS fix and it should show up in the map.

Thank you for sharing.

Important to mention too is that you have to place a 0 before the ID #. So you have 12 digits in stead of the 11.

0<the ID number>

Sandor, are you using this device with a Hungarian pre-paid SIM with no PIN code? As I am stuck to get it connected to the cell network... whatever I do, it keeps blinking in orange.

nevermind, i plugged into my pc and monitored the modem messages with picocom, and realized that the device is connected to the mobile network - but it keeps blinking as orange until I set the APN and SERVER right. All good now :)

Nice work Jozsef. Was this via USB-C connector and a COM port showed up ??

Exactly. When plugging in the tracker 3 new USB devices appears (/dev/ttyUSB0-2) so I could connect into them. One is used for the boot and modem messages eg.

I could communicate it via AT commands eg. send SMS to myself, or even make a call. But I couldn't figured out how to set variables instead of sending SMSs (which is a pain when first configuring the device )
