I have 2 RAK5146 concentrators in a RAK7391 server. I am using the UDP packet forwarder as I need the GPS location. I am running 2 UDP packet forwarders to make use of the 2 RAK5146’s installed. The configuration for packet forwarder 1 is as follows:
However, both the packet forwarders wants to access the GPS on /dev/ttyAMA0. As a result I am getting the warning on both packet forwarders (only one log shown):
udp-packet-forwarder-c2 | WARNING: [gps] could not get a valid message from GPS (no time)
udp-packet-forwarder-c2 | WARNING: [gps] could not get a valid message from GPS (no time)
udp-packet-forwarder-c2 | WARNING: [gps] could not get a valid message from GPS (no time)
Why ido both packet forwarders want to access the GPS even though it is disabled in the one? How can a prevent one of the packet forwarders from trying to access the GPS device?
