Gps logger not working

Configuration

Hello!

I noticed that my gps logger wasn’t working anymore.
I get this error:

accuracy = int(float(data[‘accuracy’]))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ‘�C’

But when I remove all the parameters except for LAT, LONG and device it works…
Thing is that I need it for my battery status…

Any idea’s?

Looks like the error is for the accuracy, so try removing just that from the custom url. TBH, you probably really only need lat,lon,bat, & device.

I tried that, but it only works with lat, long, and device. If I add any of the other params, I get a error 500 from the API.

I also got this error this morning:

Log Details (WARNING) Fri Apr 06 2018 08:27:25 GMT+0200 (CEST)

Could not parse gps value for tom: (’%LAT’, ‘%LON’)

See if this helps

I google before creating this thread, I saw you post but didn’t fix it for me :frowning:

Any updates with this? I’m having the same problem (except using python 3.5). Could it be some locale thing?

8

Ive got the same issue anything after LON& fails:
/api/gpslogger?latitude=%LAT&longitude=%LON&

9

Any progress or is it still not working for you? “The same Could not parse gps value for [devicename]: (’%LAT’, ‘%LON’)” error?

If I don’t remove direction, speed and altitude the test fails in GPSLogger app. And without them I get the fault message about unable to parse gps value. Same as you´re experiencing?

I’m also having issues. I have it set up correctly, I think, but when i try sending a custom query via browser, it looks ok, i see the followign in logs:

I get a download in my browser with the following contents:
Setting location for FA6BJ0303994

but no gps device shows up in current states.
