The TK102b is a GPS device that can send coordinates over TCP to
a server via GPRS using LKGPS protocol. This Node.js script creates a TCP server that listens
for GPRMC data, parse it and send the data to a MQTT broker. Latitude and longitude have DEG format.

Example of using
----------------
prompt> node gps2mqtt-server.js


Prepare device
--------------

Assuming your simcard has enough SMS and data credits first of all you have configure the TK102 for your provider's APN

apn123456
(example)

apn123456 web.omnitel.it

Then simply send

adminip123456
where obviously is the server's IP, is the port to listen on
and 123456 is your admin password. It cannot take hostnames as it
has no dns features on board.

(example)

adminip123456 34.251.136.219 1337

Setting time zone

timezone123456 <60*hour>

(example for Italy)

timezone123456 60


Activate sending coordinates:

t030s003n123456

This tells the device to send its location AFTER each 30 seconds and
no more than 3 times. 30 seconds is the minimum.

To go on for infinity

t030s*n123456

s (seconds) can also be m (minutes) or h (hours)

To end tracking send

notn123456
