Anything looking wrong here?

Nonsense, we're using pin 79, forget that…

…still, it's shorted to GND on my module.

My multimeter says pin 79 (GNSS_ANT) is connected to GND (pins 77, 78 + 80 + frame etc.)…?

I've measured before & after unplugging the pigtail…

…and I think I found the bug: it seems our SIMCOM board design is wrong.

The official docs say GNSS_ANT is pin 79:




But we're using pin 78:





Mark, can you confirm this?

I'm currently working on the NMEA module. The MUX channel is working, but I don't get a GPS fix.

I've tried all GPS commands and now suspect my SIMCOM module having a hardware issue.

I'm doing this:

OVMS > level debug
OVMS > power simcom on

…wait for the MUX to be ready, then issue…

OVMS > simcom muxtx 4 AT+CGPSNMEA=1
OVMS > simcom muxtx 4 AT+CGPS=1,1

…now the SIMCOM begins sending NMEA $GPGGA lines once per second looking like this:

D (2937174) SIMCOM rx: f9 05 ff 35 24 47 50 47 47 41 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c ...5$GPGGA,,,,,,
D (2937174) SIMCOM rx: 30 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2c 2a 36 36 0d 0a 60 f9 0,,,,,,,,*66..`.

Normally the modem should get a GPS fix within about 1-2 minutes and begin filling data in the $GPGGA record.

But my modem won't, it just keeps sending empty fields.

Can someone please try this with his/her module?

To disable the GPS receiver, issue:

OVMS > simcom muxtx 4 AT+CGPS=0

Thanks & regards,
Michael
