This repository comes with a file containing sample GPS output in cmd/gps_output_test.txt. This device service has not been tested on Windows yet.

This tutorial assumes you have an EdgeX instance running on your Linux/Mac machine. Unix timestamp as suppiled by the GPS device, and not the host machine (useful for time synchronization in the absence of network connectivity/ NTP).The data read from the GPS device is exported in JSON format and contains: The current implementation extracts data from the $GPRMC prefixed sentence/line.
#BU 353 USB GPS RECEIVER HOW TO#
Additional information about NMEA, including how to decode the data, is available at. The GPS receiver is expected to support the NMEA 0183 protocol, and more specifically in this instance using BU-353-S4 which expects the GPS device to use a USB plug. This repository also contains a file with mock GPS data to allow users to test a GPS based application without recourse to a real GPS receiver. Once up and running, the device service will automatically push the location, aka the Geographical Coordinates from a USB GPS receiver to EdgeX, more specifically to the core-data microservice. It was built using the EdgeX Device SDK Go provided by the EdgeX community. If the correct selection has been made, you should see the GPS status icon change from red to green.This repository contains a GPS device service for EdgeX Foundry 1.0. Set the “Baud Rate” to 4800 and click “OK”. Some manufacturers make it obvious, like ”/dev/cu.MiniPlex-99000125“, but others may be more generic, like: ”/dev/cu.usbserial“. It is not always obvious which is the correct one, but in general the device will have a name starting: ”/dev/cu.“ or ”/dev/tty.“. Open the “Dataport” menu & select the device from the list.
#BU 353 USB GPS RECEIVER DRIVER#
When the driver is installed and the device connected, start OpenCPN, select the Options icon and click the Connections tab.
#BU 353 USB GPS RECEIVER DRIVERS#
Both those companies make OS X drivers available on their web sites, but manufacturers of GPS devices usually package the driver with device. Nearly all hardware uses one of just two chip makes: those from FTDI or Prolific. Whether using a device with its own USB lead or via a serial-USB adapter lead or an NMEA multiplexer with USB port, the appropriate OS X driver needs to be installed. if this is the case, use the following fix:Īttaching a GPS device to a Mac is done via one of the USB ports. If it works, try running opencpn without sudo, chances are that you cannot see the gps. To check that it works (/dev/rfcomm0 under GPS NMEA data source).
#BU 353 USB GPS RECEIVER BLUETOOTH#
Your bluetooth GPS should now be working in open CPN. In a separate terminal, you can test the connection with You only need to to this once, not required if you reboot at this point). Sudo rfcomm release 0 (not strictly neccesary) # Automatically bind the device at startupĬhannel 1 #use channel number as provided by sdptool records XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Pair GPS with bluetooth icon -break connection with bluetooth icon -get device id: sudo hcitool scan -get channel for gps: sdptool records 00:02:78:0A:4E:E9 (put your actual number here) -sudo gedit /etc/bluetooth/nf #edit rfcomm input file.

That's it - you should now have a Bluetooth GPS Connected. Now in the NMEA Data Source options select from the pulldown menu: “ /dev/rfcomm0”, or write it in the box, if not present as an alternative. Now all you need to do is go into OpenCPN Toolbox and select GPS.

Note put your GPS address in this line You should not have to run these commands each time your linux is restarted as it will remember your GPS address. Next we have to bind the GPS address to a “virtual” device OpenCPN understands in this case rfcomm0.

In this case I have a IBT-GPS at address 00:1C:88:10:D3:4D (Your GPS address will be different) It will then start looking for the Bluetooth GPS and hopefully find your GPS. Once you have done that you will need to find what the address of the GPS is. If you have a bluetooth GPS you will need to first configure it through the standard Ubuntu Bluetooth “set up new device ” proceedure.
