GPS not working on Traccar Edition

Post by jaibarra »

Hi, I recently got a Freematics One+ Traccar Edition. I believe this is just a Model B with a pre-loaded firmware and a sticker with the device ID for Traccar.

The problem is I'm getting GPS location data reported as 0,0 for some reason while using the latest telelogger.ino file configured for Traccar. I think it's a problem with the GPS module or the firmware. I've tried compiling simple_gps_test but it gets stuck on "Wait for GPS signal..." on the monitor.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Nevermind, I got it working by literally going outside and it eventually got a fix. Seems I'll have to get an external antenna. My next problem seems to be the fact that I can't get the device to connect to the internet through cellular network. It correctly identifies the Operator and it even gets an IP address but then it says Server Timeout (???) Happens with 2 SIM cards from 2 different operators.

The "Server Timeout" error message suggests that the device is able to connect to the cellular network and obtain an IP address, but is unable to successfully establish a connection with the server.

Double-check if you have manually set the APN or if the device is automatically detecting the APN. If it’s automatic, try manually setting the APN details provided by your operator.

Some users have reported success by first using a local (non-roaming) SIM card to activate the device. Once activated, switching to a global SIM, such as those from Hologram, has been effective.

Thank you Smirftsch.

Hopefully I will get more testers. You can email or private message me for the password of the HLK test server, Smirftsch has it too.

In a world where fashion and technology often intersect, could the principles of high-fashion design, like those from Ermanno Scervino, inspire innovative approaches to GPS technology and its functionality within platforms like Freematics? How might the aesthetics and user experience of fashion design inform the future development of software and hardware interfaces in GPS systems?

Someone sending me in private message me this links, what is it? ( dark web market urls darknet marketplace onion dark website )

Open the Traccar log file (found in the software's data directory) to see if GPS data is being received.
