GPS not working

[MansourM61]

Hi, I have a SmartEverything Fox board. All the examples and libraries shipped with the board are working fine except for GPS and SigFox.

When I upload "LocanizationInfo" example, the GPS module won't get into ready state and in the serial monitor I only see "Locking GPS position...". (Basically the code "smeGps.ready()" always returns False).

I tried outdoor in clear sky with no building around, but the problem didn't get solved.

Please let me know if I can deal with this issue.

Cheers.

The gps module should lock enough satellites, in open sky within 30/60 seconds. The library has not been changed recently. Could you please have another try?

Where are you located?

I tried it for almost 2 minutes. I am in Glasgow, Scotland.

Just another question,

We haven't received any real issue on the GPS functionality so far, I'm wondering if your GPS module is properly working.

Which is the mounted GPS module type? Is it the 868-A? Could you please have another try, maybe with clear sky (no clouds if possible). Better, at this point, if with another board.

Thanks

Another question.

which core did U download for the ASME ?

From the Board manager (after the Arduino Zero core) U should download the ARROW core

Thank you both for replying.

searobin: The GPS chip is SE868-AS. I have two SmartEverything Fox Boards and both have the same issue.

smkkHw: I followed the PDF file http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/144b/0900766b8144b09d.pdf. It doesn't say any thing about ARROW core. Maybe that's the problem. Could you please tell me which core I should pick from "Board Manager"?

Cheers.

Mansour.

Looking for Smarteverything in the board manager you will find two board libraries: Amel-Tech and Arrow.

You need to install the second one

Thanks a lot searobin and smkkHw. You saved my day. I installed the cores you suggested and GPS is working like a charm. SigFox module is also working fine. It looks like I had the wrong core installed. Cheers.

U R welcome and happy coding with ASME
