Getting GPSD to continually update position (update)


 

Again, thank you for the help Andrew. Using your suggestion i found that the GPS
module signs on with some kind of header and then fails to send anymore information to
YAAC. While it will stream to a terminal, it does not do so otherwise.

It was necessary to purchase a new laptop as one of my older ones died, before installing Ubuntu i'll
give it a try with YAAC in Windows 11 and a different GPS puck and see what happens.

Thank-you again and this can be closed as the problem is somewhere other than YAAC.

Hmmm.... is this one of the old DeLorme TripMate or EarthMate GPSs? They had a characteristic of sending a model announcement string, and wouldn't do anything else until that string was echoed back by the computer.

YAAC knows the sequence to enable a TripMate or EarthMate running in the Serial_GPS driver (not using GPSD), but may not know the proprietary code for the one you are using. What specific make and model of GPS are you using?

Andrew, it's a u-blox. What model i don't recall, however it is several years old.
I used a puck style unit and it works with Linux, so the problem was definitely with the u-blox.
With the information you have given me i'll experiment with the Earthmate setting. Maybe thats all it needs.

Alas, that won't help; u-blox is far more recent than the DeLorme GPSs. On the other hand, if you used a u-blox GPS with GPSD, it's entirely probable that GPSD switched the GPS into u-blox proprietary binary protocol.
