GPS connection problem #9

Open GavynSykes opened 8 years ago

GavynSykes commented 8 years ago

Hello!

I bought a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, a microstack baseboard and a microstack GPS.

I followed the instructions written in the official documentation but I can't connect to the GPS.

Basically, the GPS led flashes so it means it has find a gps fix, but I can't see any data from the PI.

For example, if I try

cat /dev/ttyAMA0

I get always nothing. I already used raspi-config to disable kernel serial and to enable i2c and spi.

Also if I try

stty -F /dev/ttyAMA0 ispeed 4800 && cat </dev/ttyAMA0"

I get an error.

Do You have any advice on how to solve?

Hi can you try the steps I posted in issue https://github.com/microstack-IoT/python3-microstacknode/issues/3#issuecomment-114423653 to test if your GPS unit is working at all?
