GPS module used by 3DR

It comes an idea of using 3DR gps module for other applicaiton, but few things need to knowL:
1. it's not a NEMA one, the one I have iswith ublox chip, 6 or 7, by default,it communicates through uart at 38400bps, and it use an other portocol UBX, which is an binary one.
different chip has different config file:
https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/tree/master/libraries/AP_GPS/config
it can be loaded to gps by uusing u-center from ublox
https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/u-center-windows

the config used by 3DR has majorly following out put in UBX

00:08:24  R -> UBX NAV-SOL,  Size  60,  'Navigation Solution'
00:08:24  R -> UBX NAV-SVINFO,  Size 208,  'Satellite Status and Information'
00:08:24  R -> UBX NAV-STATUS,  Size  24,  'Navigation Status'
00:08:24  R -> UBX NAV-POSLLH,  Size  36,  'Geodetic Position'
00:08:24  R -> UBX NAV-VELNED,  Size  44,  'Velocity in WGS 84'
00:08:24  R -> UBX NAV-CLOCK,  Size  28,  'Clock Status'

 But there are some out put not clear.

Idea is to see how to config ublox with only few info at desired rate.

I can chage the out put of serial1 form cfg-prt :
change the out put to ubx only, but not able to change it to NEMA:
in fact it dose change to NEMA, but in CFG-MSG, NEMA did not config to out put on serial1
I can also change baud rate,.

as well as frequency in CFG-RATE, by changing measurement period to 1000ms as 1HZ

it changes to:
00:20:10  R -> UBX NAV-SOL,  Size  60,  'Navigation Solution'
00:20:10  R -> UBX NAV-STATUS,  Size  24,  'Navigation Status'
00:20:10  R -> UBX NAV-POSLLH,  Size  36,  'Geodetic Position'
00:20:10  R -> UBX NAV-VELNED,  Size  44,  'Velocity in WGS 84'

 I wish to take out navigation solution and velocity.
To do so , go thUBX_CFG_MSG,
and select the message in the drop box,
like 01-060NAV_SOL
 and then do the check on uart1, unckeck




So, I leave only 01-12 NAV-VELNED and NAV-POSLLH
and go to
CFG-CFG and "save current configuration"

unplug and re-start, it comes at 38400 and only 2 ubx out put, remember to select EEPROM as well.

So I have config a gps send out only GPGGA at 5Hz.
Which I plan to connect to a wireless serial stuff, to send to mission planner

Meshtastic 03 adding GPS on TTGO lora32 V2

圖片
 I wish to add GPS on my running meshtastic client on TTGO lora32. I have a GPS module outputs with nema at 9600bps. In the config app, in the position sector, you  can find the redefine of PGS pins. I firstly use IO00 as GPS_RX_pin. But it does not work. I guess the web config use 0 as none-config default. Then I want to know what is the default pin for GPS in meshtastic for TTGO Lora 32, I use the 2.4.x firmware for V2.1-1.6. Checked the git, there is no default gps pin for this hardware, so I changed the gps to mcu pin to 34, leave other pins stuff as 0 and do the config .  And it works. there is a new flasher, which still has LILYGO T-Lora V2.1-1.6 as board selection, with latest 2.5.xx firmware maintain 34,0,0 setting is no longer working. after few try, I decided to set to 34/32/25, where 32/25 are free pin on my board. I also reference to  LILYGO Meshtastic T-Beam V1.2 ESP32 LoRaGPS WiFi , it has a gps on 34/12 with 34/12/0 the setting is still working

GeoSetter how to add geotag on to pictures, and export to google earth as kmz

圖片
I use gps info of my cell phone when I take pictures, so that I can find where these pics were taken after a long voyage. I also wish to export these pics to google earth or google map, which can be kml or kmz. https://geosetter.de/en/download-en/ Geo setter is a very powerful one. Some times my phone was not able to add geotag info on the the picture, since it does not have location info at that time(indoor picture or gps was not available). Of course you can edit the pic, but geo sitter provide a better interface, you can pic a location on map and then assign the location to the photo that you selected. much easier than deal with coordinates. I notes the steps as following. After install geosetter, select the folder where you store your images. photos with a blue location dot means these pics contain geotag. select one pic with no blue dot, and go to top menu "map", select "show overview map"  a google map will show up with goe location of pictures...

AIS0. understanding AIS NMEA 0183: How it's coded

For my boat tracking system, I found out that using AIS format seems to be a good idea, at least I don't have to worry about how to present boat data, since there are already plenty things for do this on mobile phone or PC. Here is what I read: http://catb.org/gpsd/AIVDM.html Looking into AIS NMEA0183, it has much more application then I think. Such as MOB device, epir, aid to navigation device...etc, all are included. it use the first few char to indicate the function: Table 1. AIS talker IDs !AB NMEA 4.0 Base AIS station !AD MMEA 4.0 Dependent AIS Base Station !AI Mobile AIS station !AN NMEA 4.0 Aid to Navigation AIS station !AR NMEA 4.0 AIS Receiving Station !AS NMEA 4.0 Limited Base Station !AT NMEA 4.0 AIS Transmitting Station !AX NMEA 4.0 Repeater AIS station !BS Base AIS station (deprecated in NMEA 4.0) !SA NMEA 4.0 Physical Shore AIS Station It can also be used between device on boat for message communication, AIVDO The...
