gps103
Your message samples only include basic GPS data, as far as I can tell.
Exactly! You are right,
but the manual describes more:
Firstly: an SMS gives it all:
6.22 Check the Vehicle State.
Send SMS command “check+password” to the tracker device in the vehicle, It
will reply the status of the power, battery, GPS, ACC, door, GSM signal to the
authorized number. For example: Send SMS “check123456” to the tracker
device in the vehicle, It will reply following SMS.
Power: ON
Battery: HIGH
GPS: OK
ACC: Off
Door: Off
GSM Signal: 1-32(performance). Note: The higher digit it shows; the stronger
of GSM signals it receives.According to the gprs manual:
4.2.Description of field content
time | Cell phone number | latitude | S/N | Longitude | E/W | Speed | direction/request address | Altitude | ACC-state | Door-State | . . . .
...
Content after the thirteenth comma is: altitude
Content after the fourteenth comma is: The current state of the vehicle ACC; 1 is on,
0 is off
Content after the fifteenth comma is: The current state of the vehicle door; 1 is open
the door, 0 is close the door
Content after the sixteenth comma is: the remaining Oil percentage in the fuel tank 1
Content after the seventeenth comma is: the remaining oil percentage in the fuel tank
2
Content after the eighteenth comma is: The current temperature sensor indicated
End with a semicolon after the nineteenth comma.which is already pretty thrifty BUT even those are always empty or have invalid data (like for example ..E,0.149,0;) !
The gps holds the information obviously or it could not function. You can for example not arm the device while the ACC is on. Well, it would be important to know that or you believe you armed the device but it ain't so! And I cannot easily switch between sms and gprs just so that I can see if ACC is on or off. (I have not tried the SMS since it can't be used as way too expensive) I don't know the difference between 'power' on/off and 'acc' on/off but it does not matter if I can't get the info of any one of them.
Does anyone with more experience with the gps103 than I have, know if there is a command or a ping or magic to retrieve those stati as a bitmap maybe or something? I cannot imagine that vital information like this cannot be accessed via gprs!
I am not able to get the vital functions, mainly engine, power, the horn from my device. Someone mentioned that he set the system to tk103 and got that info. I changed the port for tk103 to 5001 and don't even connect. Is there a location other than to port # to set the decoder?
I have to know those 3 parameters since I don't want to turn a vehicle off during server reboot ( especially not while someone is using it) because I first set all power off to have a well-defined starting point. I would also like to verify that my commands actually were received and worked as intended.
The status messages seem to end at speed and direction:
imei:864895030087777,112,180805223037,,F,143038.00,A,4815.31401,N,01624.53537,E,0.149,0; imei:864895030087777,109,180805223836,,F,143837.00,A,4815.31337,N,01624.54409,E,0.149,0; imei:864895030087777,110,180805224021,,F,144022.00,A,4815.31339,N,01624.54397,E,,; imei:864895030087777,001,180805230104,,F,150105.00,A,4815.32501,N,01624.54820,E,0.517,0;There is allegedly a 'check' SMS which is no option since SMSs are, for several reasons, not an option and I did not even try it, therefore. There seems no equivalent under GPRS since it comes allegedly each time a position is sent.
Well, not for me it doesn't.
The GPS has to and does for sure know about its internal settings, but I run momentarily against a brick wall and that hurts my head.
the gps103 is widely used and I hope that
Any experiences with similar problems and solutions to my dilemma are very much appreciated!
