ZX612 Mini chinese GPS

Hi,

I own a mini chinese cheap GPS,
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Topin-DIY-PCBA-612-Micro-Hidden-Mini-GPS-Tracker-Positioner-Personal-Locator-SOS-Button-Double-Positioning/2968012_32804101835.html

The protocol seems to be similar to GT06

The login : 78780d010xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx320d0a where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is the IMEI.
But I can't get any location data.

Here is a few debug info

2017-09-04 21:00:56 DEBUG: [82AFD694: 5023 < 154.126.9.143] HEX: 78780d010xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx320d0a

And from the protocol document, I got this:

0x10GPS Positioning data packets
Start bit 2byte packet length 1byte protocol number 1byte date time 6byte GPS data length, visible number of satellites 1byte GPS latitude and longitude 8byte speed 1byte things east and south latitude status direction 2byte stop bit 2byte
Eg.7878 12 10 0A03170F3217 9C 026B3F3E 0C22AD65 1F 3460 0D0A

Could anyone help?

You can't find it because there is no location data. Also last message seems invalid as it has 0 length.

Gee Unicitee,
Were you able to solve the problem? Has the zs612 device sent a location to pull it?
I am with the same difficulty, it connects but does not send the location.

See the logs:

@wilsongome, you device does send GPS location. Are you sure it's the full log?

I have found the problem. Your device reports wrong message length.

Hi,

During the tests I did, I was able to get a location only one time. Here is a part of the log:

Anton Tananaev7 years ago

I have already explained what the problem is. You need to contact device vendor and report device malfunction.

wilsongome7 years ago

I'll test other samples of the device. Thank you Anton!

wilsongome7 years ago

Anton, sorry, just one more question. Has this zx612 ever worked on the platform since it is not on the list of supported devices?

Anton Tananaev7 years ago

I don't have any reports from users, so I'm not sure, but the protocol is GT06.

wilsongome7 years ago

Ok, very thanks!

Oscar Maqueda7 years ago

any success wilsongome ?

wilsongome7 years ago

Unfortunately not. But I'm upgrading to the latest version of traccar, and then I'll resume testing.

Oscar Maqueda7 years ago

Ive tested with latest one... still

I'm pretty sure we must lack a command..... I only configure apn, server and upload time..... any other command you can share ?
