A sidenote about the *E2GPSCTL parameters. According to thinkwiki, the 3rd parameter may be used to activate the DGPS feature. However, when I set this value (AT*E2GPSCTL=1,5,1 for example), I notice that :
1/ the stream is refreshed every second, and not every 5 seconds (as it works when just setting AT*E2GPSCTL=1,5) 2/ some spurious or blank lines, not starting with $GP are interleaved in the regular NMEA stream (from /dev/ttyACM2). These lines look like the characters of the end of previous NMEA sentences, quite strange. Firmware bug? 3/ no DGPS information appears in the NMEA $GPGGA sentences, even after a 3D fix is successfully obtained. According to http://aprs.gids.nl/nmea/#gga the DGPS information should appear in the last two fields of the $GPGGA string. But I may be in a location where DGPS stations are out-of-reach. So, at the difference of the wiki that suggests to setup the GPS using "AT*E2GPSCTL=1,5,1", I prefer to use the command "AT*E2GPSCTL=1,5" instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783220 Title: [needs-packaging] Missing packages for mbm-gpsd and mbm-gps-control To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/modemmanager/+bug/783220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
