NEO-M8N module does not respond without error #17

Closed rouhUAV closed 2 years ago

rouhUAV commented 2 years ago

Dear developers I have tried your ubx lib with a NEO-M8N module but i couldn't make use of it. I have test my hardware with some other libraries like sparkfun and it worked, as I like to use this ublox lib with some of the other libraries that you have provided, could you please inform me whether its a version issue? whats your suggestion? shall I update my GPS firmware?(currently its protocol version is 15.00). The fact is that it happens without any error, the program compiles with my arduino 2 IDE and I can program my ESP32 board successfully. the program runs until the myGNSS.Begin() is called.

Thanks. Please try with the latest version of this library (v6.0.3) and the latest firmware with the NEO-M8N. Also check that you have all the required messages enabled and have set the correct serial port and baudrate. I just tested this with a very old NEO-M8N that I have - I wasn't able to enable the EOE message in u-center until after I updated firmware. Then I was able to enable all of the required messages and it worked with this library fine.

Thank you @flybrianfly, I have checked the baudrate with u-center. but I am not deeply sure about the serialPort, the ESP32 serial port in arduino is a bit vague,

The software version is 2.01(75350) I hope it would be sufficient because my NEO-M8N module is probably not updatable. I will try your suggestions. could you share the ublox firmware file you are using? Thank you very much Brian.

I have updated the GPS firmware and with the bfs v6.0.0, I could receive the messages. Thanks.
