Browan Object Locator and payload formatter

Hi everyone,

has anyone managed to do an uplink payload formatter on TTN for the Browan Object Locator?

I have used this but I am not getting correct location information:

function Decoder(bytes, port) {
var params = {
“bytes”: bytes
};
bytes = bytes.slice(bytes.length-11);
if ((bytes[0] & 0x8) === 0) {
params.gnss_fix = true;
} else {
params.gnss_fix = false;
}
// Mask off enf of temp byte, RFU
temp = bytes[2] & 0x7f;
acc = bytes[10] >> 5;
acc = Math.pow(2, parseInt(acc) + 2);
// Mask off end of accuracy byte, so lon doesn’t get affected
bytes[10] &= 0x1f;
if ((bytes[10] & (1 << 4)) !== 0) {
bytes[10] |= 0xe0;
}
// Mask off end of lat byte, RFU
bytes[6] &= 0x0f;
lat = bytes[6] << 24 | bytes[5] << 16 | bytes[4] << 8 | bytes[3];
lon = bytes[10] << 24 | bytes[9] << 16 | bytes[8] << 8 | bytes[7];
battery = bytes[1];
capacity = battery >> 4;
voltage = battery & 0x0f;
params.latitude = lat/1000000;
params.longitude = lon/1000000;
params.accuracy = acc;
params.temperature = temp - 32;
params.capacity = (capacity / 15) * 100;
params.voltage = (25 + voltage)/10;
params.port=port;
return params;
}

Hi, Did you manage to get the browan object locater installed? (Interrested because I just bought one and is on it’s way. I am now preparing on how to get it added to ttn)

Were you ever able to get an uplink formatter to work? I’ve been unsuccessful as well.

Are they not GNSS devices? So then you need a GNSS solver.

Have you tried
