garmin etrex legend hcx / opensuse 11

[Chris-Hein Lunkhusen]

Hi,

I can't get gpsd running with my garmin legend hcx
using suse 11.0.

I start gpsd with gpsd -N -nND2 /dev/ttyUSB0 as root :

gpsd: launching (Version 2.37)
gpsd: listening on port gpsd
gpsd: successfully connected to the DBUS system bus
gpsd: running with effective group ID 0
gpsd: running with effective user ID 0
gpsd: opening GPS data source at '/dev/ttyUSB0'
gpsd: speed 9600, 8N1
gpsd: ntpd_link_activate: 0
gpsd: gpsd_activate(1): opened GPS (6)


telnet 127.0.0.1 2947

i

GPSD,I=Garmin USB binary

So, the garmin seems to be connected,
but commands A or P return "?".

Any helps is welcome.

Thankyou
Chris

When debugging things, I like to turn up the debug level to at least 4.
# gpsd -nND4 /dev/ttyUSB0

Do you have a fix? Can you leave the gps by a window (or someplace
with a good view of the sky) for a while. This sounds like things are
working properly, but you don't have a navigation solution yet.

Chris,

yes there was a fix in the room.

I took the laptop outside, EPE was shown as +/- 3 m.

Does this help?

By the way: The same device connected to WindowsXP is ok
(with GpsGate software).

And another workaround:

The gpsbabel tracking is working (when blacklisting
the garmin_gps module) :
gpsbabel -T -i garmin -f usb: -o nmea -F -

$GPGGA,211437,51xx.840,N,007xx.645,E,1,00,0.0,64.174,M,0.0,M,,*4C
$GPGSA,A,3,,,,,,,,,,,,,0.0,0.0,0.0*32
$GPRMC,211438,A,51xx.841,N,007xx.644,E,0.00,0.00,060909,,*1A

Maybe this can be piped to gpsd.

Yeah, sounds like the garmin_gps module is at fault here.  We've had
other feedback suggesting that it's currently broken.

You might consider piping that command to the master side of a pty
and running gpsd with a command-line argument that tells it to look
at the slave side.  

If that works, let me know and I'll do a FAQ entry.

So, I enter
gpsbabel -T -i garmin -f usb: -o nmea -F - > /dev/ptm1
in terminal1 and
cat < /dev/pts/1
in terminal2 (just to test the master/slave)

But get no output in terminal2.

What do I wrong ?

Just a short update: I updated to opensuse 11.1
but same error here.

some googling indicates that gpsd on ubuntu
is working for garmin devices.

I don't know, sorry.  This sort of thing is difficylt to troubleshoot wuthout
intimate knowledge of gpsbabel, which I don;t have.
