Feature request: GPS #58

Open cscompton opened 1 year ago

cscompton commented 1 year ago

Add support for a usb GPS receiver to update station location on the services. I build a few AIS and ADSB boxes to send disaster location where local infrastructure might be out. Being able to use gps to update station locations saves a lot of time in the field when you move sensor boxes around a lot.

Thanks for the suggestion. It seems like very much a niche use case, a long ways away from the use case intended.

I don't see this as high on my list of priorities. There are many other more important (to me) things I think I'll work on, first.

Completely understand, just wanted to toss out some ideas. Love the project and plan I trying it out on my home station. Thanks for taking the time to reply and not closing out straight away.

dirkhh commented 1 year ago

I don't plan to close them because someone else might be interested in working on them.

All I tried to say is that they push the project far beyond my goals (and bandwidth, and interest). That doesn't mean that someone else could contribute such code.

dirkhh commented 1 year ago

This one I have seen a second request for... I still don't have the time / bandwidth to do it, but I'll leave this here in case someone feels inspired to work on code that would support this.

Pretty sure this was implemented a while ago. You are required to get gpsd running on your own though: https://github.com/sdr-enthusiasts/docker-adsb-ultrafeeder?tab=readme-ov-file#basic-installation-and-configuration-of-your-gps-hardware-and-gpsd-drivers

Ignore the yml stuff on the page above, linked it just as a howto what's required for gpsd. Once gpsd is running, there will be an option to use it on the Expert page in the webinterface.
