Awesome! I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing... Less work for me :-)<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 7:49 PM, Shosholoza <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cavaldan@tin.it">cavaldan@tin.it</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I Developed a real time tracker for the moko! If anyone wants to test can<br>
download the tar at this link:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.monkeyslair.net/openmoko/mokotrack.tar" target="_blank">http://www.monkeyslair.net/openmoko/mokotrack.tar</a> mokotrack tar<br>
<br>
For run you must:<br>
<br>
- Copy the file to moko<br>
- Untar mokotrack.tar<br>
- Edit the file conf and set the right APN, username and password by default<br>
is an italian provider<br>
<br>
There is not a graphical interface so to start you must open the terminal go<br>
to "mokotrack" directory and type "./track"<br>
If everything works fine just launched the application will be assigned an<br>
ID and a password that is used to control the moko from web.<br>
To see the location you have to connect to this address:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.monkeyslair.net/MokoTrack.html" target="_blank">http://www.monkeyslair.net/MokoTrack.html</a> MokoTrack web page<br>
<br>
So you can display the track or position with the ID that was assigned.<br>
To send commands to the moko click on "info" from the web page.You will have<br>
the current state of the moko and you can send commands (increase the<br>
frequency of coordinates, set the minimum distance for considering two<br>
different positions, exit by the app, turn off your cell, etc.).Of course to<br>
give the commands you must enter the assigned password.The application at<br>
startup sets up a firewall to minimize the flow of Internet data.Closes ppp<br>
port except the one using the application.The GPRS connection is opened each<br>
time and closed immediately after sending the coordinates.That way you<br>
minimize the exchange of bytes(see this discussion:<br>

Gprs sent and receive random byte. WHY? ).<br>
In the terminal will be displayed the current operations and after sent the<br>
coordinate will be show the number of bytes sent and received in the<br>
session.The application is tested on SHR. It used D-bus<br>
