GPS problem

My TBEACON and SMARTBEACON setup only fetches new GPS position at reboot. Beacons are sent, but the GPS position do not change throughout my travel. If I reboot the RPi, it changes.? ?I am running Direwolf on RPi2.
This is my config? GPSD
TBEACON DELAY=0:5 VIA=WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 SYMBOL=car COMMENT="John's Direwolf APRS tracker and digipeater ? "
SMARTBEACONING 30 1:00 5 15:0 0:10 30 255
Also, even though I am driving faster than 5mph, it only beacones evey 15 minutes.? Any ideas? |
开云体育Hello John, A few questions here: ?? 1. What version of Direwolf are you running?? v1.6 is current and v1.7 (currently in the Github DEV branch) should be released soon. ?? 2. Before you start direwolf, is gpsd running?? You can check that by running "ps ax | grep gpsd" in a terminal window.? If it is running, can you run a gps client like gpsmon, cgps, or xgps and does it successfully connect to gpsd and show your position? ?? 3, Per the Direwolf User Guide, have you tried starting Direwolf with enabling debugging for GPS and Tracking?? That means you'd manually start direwolf with "-dgt" where "g" is for GPS and "t" is for TRACKER functionalities.? If there are any issues, seeing any errors in the terminal window should guide you to fix the issue. --David KI6ZHD On 06/30/2022 08:10 AM,

What version of GPSD are you running?? GPD 3.22 has exhibited this issue in the past.

I had issues with 3.22 where coordinates did not?update. I found that 3.23-2 works approximately as expected.? There is a deepp bug for one type of GPS unit, but it is relatively?minor. I have an image?of 3.23-2?which?I use for the APRS Appliance?at: On Sat, Jul 2, 2022 at 5:25 AM <john.bjorkhaug@...> wrote: I am running 3.22-4. Do you know if this issue is in this version? --

To install: - install the gpsd package for BullsEye - substitute the gpsd-2-23-2 image for the installed gpsd image You may get some warning messages with some apps. You will have to use the development version of Dire Wolf. On Sat, Jul 2, 2022 at 7:16 AM Don Rolph via <don.rolph=[email protected]> wrote:

开云体育I had an issue a while back and it was because when GPSD was installed, it was a very old version. I built from source and all my troubles at that time disappeared. So first thing to do is check the version “gpsd ?-ver(?). if it is not current, bult it again. ? IIRC, I had to edit my gpsd.conf to point to the GPS source. I don’t recall the steps but I did find information on the gpsd site. ? You can ping the gpsd group and I can almost guarantee you will need to be running the latest version. ? When you think everything is correct, run cgps (?) from the command line. ? Fred N7FMH ? ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of john.bjorkhaug@... ?
