I’ve created a patch against gpsbabel 1.3.4beta that supports the WBT-201. You can find it here:

That’d be cool thanks Joerg. Could you send it to andy [at] hexten [dot] net?

I can send the python-script if You like. It’s very simple, 45 lines.

Aha. Sounds like a challenge :)

I haven’t had a chance to order one yet. I’ll try to do that in the next few days.

WBT-201 log download is completely different. This is what I found out with serial sniffer and a little Python script:

send: @AL,15555 # sets password 5555
rec: @AL,LoginOK # pw was OK

send: @AL,5,2 # get log size
rec: @AL,5,2,11111 # there are 11111 bytes logged

send: @AL,5,3,0 # get the first 4096 bytes
rec:

send: @AL,5,3,4096 # get the second block of 4096 bytes
rec:

…..

send: @AL,2,1 # switch on NMEA after transfer
rec: @AL,2,1

I have not idea how to parse the binary data.

Have you tried it with the current version of gpsbabel and found it doesn’t work?

In any event I’ll try to get hold of one and make sure it’s properly supported.

I just picked up the brand new WBT-201. You have any plans on adding support for this to GPSBabel? Here is a link: http://www.semsons.com/wiwbmu3gpsre2.html

There’s a lot of sources, eg. wcom-gps.de (my one)
Spec: ftp://mail1.wintec.com.tw/upload/support_manual/WBT300SPEC.pdf
Any idea?
