I'm currently working on the NMEA module. The MUX channel is
working, but I don't get a GPS fix.<br>
<br>
I've tried all GPS commands and now suspect my SIMCOM module having
a hardware issue.<br>
<br>
I'm doing this:<br>
<br>
<tt>OVMS > level debug</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>OVMS > power simcom on</tt><br>
<br>
…wait for the MUX to be ready, then issue…<br>
<br>
<tt>OVMS > simcom muxtx 4 AT+CGPSNMEA=1</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>OVMS > simcom muxtx 4 AT+CGPS=1,1</tt><br>
<br>
…now the SIMCOM begins sending NMEA $GPGGA lines once per second
looking like this:<br>
<br>
<tt>D (2937174) SIMCOM rx: f9 05 ff 35 24 47 50 47 47 41 2c 2c 2c 2c
2c 2c ...5<b>$GPGGA,,,,,,</b></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>D (2937174) SIMCOM rx: 30 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2a 36 36
0d 0a 60 f9 <b>0,,,,,,,,*66</b>..`.</tt><br>
<br>
Normally the modem should get a GPS fix within about 1-2 minutes and
begin filling data in the $GPGGA record.<br>
<br>
But my modem won't, it just keeps sending empty fields.<br>
<br>
Can someone please try this with his/her module?<br>
<br>
To disable the GPS receiver, issue:<br>
<br>
<tt>OVMS > simcom muxtx 4 AT+CGPS=0</tt><br>
<br>
Thanks & regards,<br>
Michael<br>
