luci-app-gpoint: A Lua repository from Kodo-kakaku

Global Navigation Satellite System for OpenWrt LuCi

Gpoint was created in order to use full set of functions of mobile modules installed in OpenWRT router. Manufacturers of GSM/3G/LTE modems often lay down GNSS function, so why not use it? It doesn't matter if you use a router in transport or it is installed in your terminal, you can always find out its location!

Features

Support: GPS, GLONASS (works with "NMEA 0183" standard protocol)
GPSD is supported for parsing NMEA data from a modem or your gps device
GeoHash (reduces drift of GPS\GLONASS coordinate readings in parking)
Kalman filter (Implementation of Kalman filter for geo (gps) tracks. This is a Lua port of original C code)
Yandex Locator API (Determines location by nearest Wi-Fi access points)
Simple GeoFence a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area
Server side (sends GNSS data to a remote server)
Support OpenLayers maps in UI, and much more!

How to add an unsupported device

Most importantly, your device should be able to constantly send NMEA data to any of the available ports.

EXAMPLE: /dev/ttyUSB*

In the model file, you must add the vid, pid, and name of your device.

MODEL PATH: /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/gpoint/gpoint.lua

ADD DEVICE:

local modems = {
    ["Quectel"] = {
        ["2c7c:0306"] = "EP06",
        ...
    },
    ["MY_DEVICE_VENDOR_NAME"] = {
        ["PID:VID"] = "MODEL_NAME",
        ...
    }

It is necessary to add commands to start/stop sending data to the port in the configuration file. (if such commands are not required, you must set "-" instead of commands)

CONFIG PATH: /usr/share/gpoint/lib/config.lua

ADD DEVICE:

local MODEM = {
    DELL = {
        START = "AT+GPS=1",
        STOP = "AT+GPS=0"
    },
    MY_DEVICE_WITH_START/STOP_COMMAND = {
        START = "DEVICE_AT_COMMAND_TO_START",
        STOP = "DEVICE_AT_COMMAND_TO_STOP"
    },
    MY_DEVICE_WITHOUT_COMMAND = {
        START = '-',
        STOP = '-'
    }

That's it! Now your device works with GPoint!

If there are any difficulties with adding a new device or you want to help the project, open an issue or send a pull request with your changes!

Thank you for your interest in the project!
