Did anyone succeed in getting GPS position un #Winlink out of #gpsd ?
Everything is running fine on my Ubuntu. Gpsd works and provide position through TCP port 2947.
On winlink (running via wine), I set "GPS serial port" to TCP/IP, IP address to the loopback one and IP port to the above value.
I always get "the GPS has stopped reporting".
When using the GPS device file, it works fine.
As winlink is not my only application using GPS, I would like to use the daemon.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Apparently #gpsd uses 'ifconfig' in a test script that conveniently breaks.
A bit more fiddling with the Toughpad today, I notice it has a WWAN module.
During boot-up, an Ericsson F5521gw quickly shows itself and enumerates a network device and some serial ports (CDC ACM).
But then, 5 seconds later, it deregisters itself. Quite why, I have no idea.
Now this is a 3G era card, so in Australia, is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine for Internet access… HOWEVER, it does provide a GPS module.
Now that *would* be handy.
https://sven-seeberg.de/wp/?p=614 and https://www.tjansson.dk/2009/01/using-the-builtin-gps-in-a-thinkpad-x200-under-linux/ suggest it can be done…
The problem is figuring out what makes it suddenly disappear. That second article points out a SIM card being needed, so I grab the old 3G era SIM from my old ZTE T83 phone, power the tablet off, stuff it in the SIM card slot, and power it back up.
No dice. It again says peek-a-boo, enumerating then disappearing.
I didn't keep the Windows 8.1 install, so I can't boot that to have another look.
For now, I've just turned it off in the UEFI BIOS. At least it's not drawing unnecessary power … but if anyone has any ideas as to what I can shoot that might be telling the 3G module to disappear… I'm all ears.
Do you have a recommendation for a #linux tool to navigate a heavy #truck (no "normal" car!) via #gps offline?
I tried #pureMaps but miss the adjustment for car size parameters. GPS can be provided via #geoclue or #gpsd sufficiently.
I just need map display and route planning - ideally an option which is aware of obstacles like low bridges and weight limits on particular roads and show alerts.
In case it matters: I will be on german roads.
Как извлечь данные из Linux с помощью C++ и Qt. На примере приложения с прогнозом погоды
Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Михаил, я backend-разработчик в SimbirSoft. Хочу поделиться с вами опытом получения различной информации в ОС Linux для использования в своих целях. Представьте, что нам нужно написать приложение «Погода», которое берёт из сети температуру, влажность и прочие параметры и отображает для пользователя. Было бы неплохо, чтобы оно само определяло, где мы находимся. Но как это сделать? Легко! На одном из проектов нам предстояло разработать десктопное приложение для портативного устройства и графический интерфейс к нему. При этом, кроме основной функциональности, предстояло выводить дополнительную информацию для пользователя: - навигационные данные (долготу, широту, высоту); - сведения о сетевом соединении (название, тип, уровень сигнала Wi-Fi); - заряд батареи; - информацию о хранилище (сколько занято/сколько всего). Стек используемых технологий – C++ в связке с библиотекой Qt (5.12). Задача казалась довольно простой. Но первое впечатление очень часто обманчиво. Особенно в тех случаях, когда вам не приходилось решать подобные задачи. Но обо всём по порядку. Рассмотрим вывод разных видов информации. 👉 Читать далее
…🧵 #gpsd doesn't seem to like how I've repurposed the u-blox Rx line as PPS. I'll need a new cable - 4-pole USB doesn't cut it.
It's Thursday today, so the flea market will be buzzing nearby - let's try and score an old PS2 extension cable.
PS2 has 6 lines; 1 more than I currently need ...well, that's 6 lines + ground/shield.
I wanted to use my #digirig with an #ft891 connected to a #raspberrypi and ran into problems with it always going into continuous sending when connecting. Turns out my #gpsd config was wrong, this solution helped: https://forum.digirig.net/t/trouble-and-solution-connecting-digirig-to-a-raspberry-pi/1048
So far this weekend I've set up a few services on one of my #RaspberryPi4 machines, on it, I have three #Docker containers running with: #HomeAssistant, #NodeRed and #PiHole
I have also set up #GPSd to use a USB-connected #GPS chip from #Adafruit which I then collect data from with a #Python script I've made.
Things are getting closer to finishing and I am #documenting the whole thing for a nice #blog post soon on our website.

Das offizielle #GPSD-Python-Modul ist übrigens kacke, nehmt es lieber nicht. Das Interface ist ziemlich unpythonig und schlecht dokumentiert. https://github.com/tfeldmann/gpsdclient sieht ein bisschen besser aus.
(Hätte ich natürlich gern vorher gewusst. Aber weiß ich jetzt für wenn ich das alles demnächst™ mal ordentlich mache.)
So, zusätzlich zum Location-Tracking für mein Telefon über die #Nextcloud-App #PhoneTrack hab ich das jetzt auch mal mit einem in #Python zusammengefrickelten #GPSD-Client auch meinem #Wohnmobil beigebracht.
