[time-nuts] Ublox Neo-6M time error.

2016-06-01 Thread Mark Sims
Versions past 8.16 no longer run on XP. For versions 7 (and earlier) Ublox only offered a Windows downloader program to download the actual program. That was what I ran into earlier. I just downloaded the 8.16 version and it does work under XP and does not need a net connection. BTW, the

So, having a batch of PIC12F675's to play with the picDIV's with, but being lazy I decided to look for a dev board for the 8 pin PIC's. (Yeah, I know how lazy can you get! :) )  Just didn't feel like wiring up the programming header to a bread board, etc. Anyway, one appeared in google on OSH

FYI, u-center works fine in Wine. It also works (and installs) perfectly in a Windows VM without any network access. So I don't know what problem you're having, but I don't think it's caused by ublox. On 1 June 2016 at 14:02, Mark Sims wrote: > I have no idea... I can't run

I have no idea... I can't run Ucenter. It requires an internet connection to run (or at least register). All my current Windoze boxes are XP, and there's no way in hell I'm connecting an XP box to the internet. Other GPS makers don't have such a requirement to use their software, so I

Atilla Kinali: Yes, the spec'ed SNR of the ADS62P44 is 74dBFS (typ) while the LTC2216 is spec'ed with 81dBFS (typ). Additionally, the input amplitudes in Sherman and Jördens experiments were kept around half scale, which is another -6dB in SNR. There is another ~15dB in difference, but I currently

Hal, thanks for reminding me of what I ran into on the LEA-6T modules. When you first power them on, they are often a second off in time. It's not until the NAV-TIMEUTC->valid field returns a set validUTC flag that the time can be counted on. But it usually doesn't take more than a minute or

The local clock bias value reported by the Res T is the difference between the receiver's clock and the reference time scale ( GPS or UTC). You need it to correct the raw pseudo ranges reported by the receiver, which are with respect to the receiver's clock. Cheers Michael On Wednesday, 1 June
