Re: New GPS units additional NMEA prefixes


 

Robert,

Never mind, I just Googled it. You will have to convince Byon to do an upgrade for the TT4. I don't think it is even possible with the TT3.?

Robert,

Is this a dual-band (NMEA+GLONASS) GPS receiver?

I just pulled my MTT4B out again and connected it to a new uBlox M8N GPS module.
? Settings: 10Hz update with output at 19200,n,8,1
I see the GPS sentences in a terminal, but the Green LED never flashes or comes on solid.
I plugged in my older GPS, and everything is fine.
? Settings: 10Hz update with output at 19200,n,8,1

Then I realized the NMEA sentences all started with 'GN' instead of 'GP'.? Digging deeper, I found that uBlox configuration (u-center) allows you to change the "main talker" to 1-GPS (default is 3-Combined).? Don't forget to go to the CFG option to permanently set this value, or it will reset on power up.?

Only difference appears to be the second letter.? Any chance of a future firmware update to handle more options?
Current prefixes are: GP, GL, GN, GA, and GB.
