Support KeyMaze 700 and similar devices

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

When I try to use this tool, I get this error :
Device not found or error opening USB device. Is your watch correctly plugged ?

I can find my watch in USB devices :

==lsusb==

Please let me know if I've done something wrong.
Thanks in advance, best regards, Edouard.

Hello,

the model you use is a Keymaze 700. It's not the same device as CW Kalenji 700 
GPS. However, I'm interested on checking if it would be possible to support it.

As the constructor is the same, the protocol may be similar. To try to use it 
with your watch, you can do the following modification:

 - if you use downloadable version 1.0:
Replace 0x0483 by 0x067B and 0x5740 by 0x2303 in the following line of main.cc:
        if(deviceDescriptor.idVendor == 0x0483 && deviceDescriptor.idProduct == 0x5740)

 - if you use a recent version from SVN:
Replace 0x0483 by 0x067B and 0x5740 by 0x2303 in the following line of 
src/device/Kalenji.cc:
        _dataSource->init(0x0483, 0x5740);

If this doesn't work and you have access to a computer with windows, you can 
try to analyze what's going on during an import by using a tool like USBlyzer 
or SnoopyPro. I'm interested by such a dump to add support for Keymaze devices 
if you manage to produce one.

Regards,
Colin

Hello Colin,

Thank your for your answer. I tried your modification, here is the result :

./kalenji-gps-watch-reader/kalenji_reader 
libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/004/003: Permission denied.
libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.
libusb:error [op_kernel_driver_active] get driver failed error -1 errno 9
Transmission error: -99 - 9 Unknown error
libusb:error [op_claim_interface] claim interface failed, error -1 errno 9
libusb:error [op_claim_interface] claim interface failed, error -1 errno 9
Device not found or error opening USB device. Is your watch correctly plugged ?

Access restriction, I tried as root :
sudo ./kalenji-gps-watch-reader/kalenji_reader 
[sudo] password for doudou: 
Transmission error: -5 - 2 Unknown error
Device not found or error opening USB device. Is your watch correctly plugged ?

Will try to get a dump as you requested.

Best regards, Edouard.

The "permission denied" error when using a standard user is very annoying. It 
depends on the distrib but on most of them, usb devices are not accessible by 
standard users and changing it durably depends on the distrib. 

I need to write a FAQ containing this question !

The "Unknown error" when you try as root means that Keymaze watches and Kalenji 
ones don't work the same way. I think the coding of the data may be the same 
but the protocol is different.

If you can produce a dump it will help me. I will also try on my side to check 
if I can find someone having a Keymaze.

I managed to get traces from a Keymaze of a friend. I hadn't the occasion to 
validate yet but SVN version should be able to support it.

Can you try it ? You should use "-d Keymaze" option to use it.

Hello Colin,

Thank you for your interest concerning this watch. I downloaded the latest 
release (the one that use keymaze by defaut if I'm right) and I get this error :

sudo ./kalenji_reader 
[sudo] password for doudou: 
Transmission error: -5 - 2 Unknown error
Transmission error: -1 - 2 LIBUSB_ERROR_IO
Error: transferred (-5) != length (5)
Transmission error: -7 - 2 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT

Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT

Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT
Transmission error: -7 - 0 LIBUSB_ERROR_TIMEOUT

I had to break it. Any idea of the problem?

When I plug the watch, it create /dev/ttyUSB0 that is writable by group dialout 
(my user is member of it) :
ll /dev/ttyUSB0 
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 2012-02-05 16:17 /dev/ttyUSB0

Is it possible to use this device (automatically or with an option)?

Thanks in advance, best regards, Edouard.

OK, so this doesn't work ! I'll try to fix it ...

As Kalenji 700 and KeyMaze 700 are different and as KeyMaze 700 is based on 
Globalsat GH-615, I should give a try to http://code.google.com/p/gh615/, no? I 
will let you know.

Best regards, Edouard.

Hello,

I successfully get my tracks from my watch using gh615 software. So I will use 
this tool.

Thank you again for your interest on my problem, best regards, Edouard.

• Changed title: Support KeyMaze 700 and similar devices

Issue 14 has been merged into this issue.

From issue 14, it seems that the program core when used with a Keymaze 700. To 
be checked why. This is probably because the tentative support for it prevent a 
clean message to be issued. Registration of Keymaze 700 implementation should 
be commented in CVS and distributed sources as it's not working yet.
