Tracking GPS with node.js

Tracking GPS with node.js

I try to track GPS device with node.js server. But server receives only IMEI in a form like this:

##,imei:359xxxxxxxxxxxx,A;

What i'm doing wrong? Here's code:

var net = require('net');

var server = net.createServer(function (socket) {
  socket.on("data", function (data) {
        console.log(data.toString());
  });
});

server.listen(2000);

node.js

Answer 1

Is your GPS tracker a TK10* ? It looks like it from the message your server got. If so, you need to reply to the tracker with 'LOAD' to tell it it's logged on. It will also send a heartbeat message periodically of just the IMEI to which the server must reply with 'ON'

Take a look at this document which has all of the commands/messages documented: http://www.zhyichina.com/en/GPStracking/GPRS-Data-Protocol.xls
