Awesome

I found this device on the internetz:

GPS/GPRS Tracker

suitable for an application I was writing, bought one and I did some reverse engineering with telnet to discover its protocol. The result is this small library that you can use in your projects to write your servers and listen to positioning events.

After that I found an excel sheet with the protocol very bad documented. The model name of this device seems "TK102", but I also found that the protocol is the same for various devices:

Install

npm install gpstracker

Usage

A very basic example will be this

var gpstracker = require("gpstracker");
var server = gpstracker.create().listen(8000, function(){
    console.log('listening your gps trackers on port', 8000);
});

server.trackers.on("connected", function(tracker){
    
    console.log("tracker connected with imei:", tracker.imei);
    
    tracker.on("help me", function(){
        console.log(tracker.imei + " pressed the help button!!".red);
    });

	tracker.on("position", function(position){
        console.log("tracker {" + tracker.imei +  "}: lat", 
                            position.lat, "lng", position.lng);
    });

    tracker.trackEvery(10).seconds();
});
