First of all, I really like the implementation using C++11 features! Thanks to the devs and kudos for sharing this!
Now, main point - I have also ran into this issue.
Basically, with a new uBlox GNSS, the library outputs constant (lat,lon)=(0,0), although sentences are marked as valid (as in, they pass the checksum test)
Any way to fix/bypass the issue ???
Looking through the implementation, my impression is that a quick fix to the issue consists in adding sentence handlers, as in the following manner
_parser.setSentenceHandler("GNGGA", [this](const NMEASentence &nmea) { this->read_GPGGA(nmea); });
..and similar for GNRMC, GNVTG, etc.
Can anyone please confirm?
Thanks octavmatu. You are correct, you can add a sentence overload by using setSentenceHandler.
Just make sure you read the documentation for that sentence so you read the parameters correctly and update the fix object properly.
I remember someone adding GN* sentences in a fork. I'll have to find that and do a pull.
I apologize for my ignorance but I had a question about how exactly this code works. I am new to Github and using the gps dongle so I am just trying to make sense of everything.
From my understanding is that this code does not read directly from a usb gps dongle rather from a string that the user has to input. Is this correct? If so, I am still confused about syntax. When I run demo_simple I receive a message that says "No satellite info in almanac." Assuming the user has to input a string in the form "GNGAA...." when and where would I input that string?
If this code does accept info straight from the gps dongle, how would I make that work? Where would I have to specify the port the dongle is connected to?
If this code does not accept into straight from a gps dongle, can anyone recommend a C script that reads from the gps dongle? or does anyone have any suggestions as to how I should modify the code to do this?
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
Even though this is not really a big issue, I would like to point out that the code is not suitable for GN or GL sentences.
I tried to adapt it, and make it work for all prefixes of NMEA sentences but I did not succeed.
Has anyone made an attempt at this before ?
Thank you.
