Following steps from https://gpsd.gitlab.io/gpsd/installation.html
gpsd steps:
- plug it in and type:
ls /dev/ttyUSB*
the last digit is your device number - could be 0 or 1 or other number. The rest of the commands assume it is 0, so device is /dev/ttyUSB0
- See if you can get NMEA data out of it (you may need to type it twice to get it to work):
sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800 && cat </dev/ttyUSB0
- install gpsd software:
sudo apt-get -y install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps
- disable tcp daemon with these commands:
sudo systemctl stop gpsd
sudo systemctl stop gpsd.socket
sudo systemctl disable gpsd
sudo systemctl disable gpsd.socket
sudo killall gpsd
- Now run it manually:
sudo gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
- You can look at the result:
gpsmon /dev/ttyUSB0
You will need to Control-C to exit
Try running /home/pi/CubeSatSim/gpsd/gps.sh script to see if you get lat lon alt output after about 10 seconds.
Set mode to APRS and restart
./config -a
The telemetry string should end with the three values of lat lon alt
the APRS location will also update automatically.
