ok, it's the first time I'm looking into this GPS stuff. Following the suggestion from Timo in another post, I do a
cat /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron (which is different from his /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-regltr.7/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron, but that's what I found) and that gives me 0. A echoed a 1 to it, but it's the first time a learn about sysfs and I'm not sure this way of setting configuration really works. Anyway, I telneted then to the port but I'm not really familiar with these GPS codes. This seems to be NEMEA data and a quick reading tells me that $GPRMC should give me my coordinates but I'm getting empty stuff $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,*31 so something with the device is not working. Also, TangoGPS tells me "no GPS found". Any further suggestions from here?
