Geir,
I also have a very poor GPS signal even with the expensive passive
antenna, the final module really needs to support active ones.
There's also a slight chance your pigtail cable is broken. That has
been an issue on some chinese RC transmitters recently, but I don't
think that's the issue with your GPS, just a poor antenna.
The satellite count and GPS / GLONASS lock state are transferred
into the vehicle position metrics:
OVMS > metrics list v.p.
v.p.altitude 318.4m
v.p.direction 0°
v.p.gpshdop 2.2
v.p.gpslock yes
v.p.gpsmode AN
v.p.gpsspeed 0Kph
v.p.latitude 51.3022
v.p.longitude 7.38984
v.p.odometer 0Km
v.p.satcount 4
v.p.speed 0Kph
v.p.trip 0Km
The "gpsmode" is…
// <Mode>: first char = GPS, second = GLONASS;
// N = No fix
// A = Autonomous mode (non differential)
// D = Differential mode
// E = Estimation mode
To see your raw NMEA sentences, enable the verbose logging:
OVMS > level verbose gsm-nmea
…right after init:
V (713279) gsm-nmea: IncomingLine: $GNGNS,,,,,,NN,,,,,,*53
V (713279) gsm-nmea: IncomingLine: $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
…after receiving a time signal:
V (770279) gsm-nmea: IncomingLine:
$GNGNS,214635.9,,,,,NN,,,,,,*43
V (770279) gsm-nmea: IncomingLine: $GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
…after getting the first satellites:
V (796339) gsm-nmea: IncomingLine:
$GNGNS,214702.0,5118.133354,N,00723.390298,E,AN,04,2.2,318.4,47.0,,*6D
V (796339) gsm-nmea: IncomingLine:
$GPRMC,214702.0,A,5118.133354,N,00723.390298,E,,,060118,,,A*63

I’ve tried the tiny passive antenna I ordered, but I just can’t
get any GPS signal. I’ve tried with GSM-antenna too, but got
nothing :-(
How do you see how many satellites you get?
Geir
€30!?!
That’s insanely expensive, especially if it’s no good!
It is small and will be hidden under the
seat in the end, so it might not be a good solution,
but it’ll be interesting to test.
The GSM-anteanna I use with the V2 is
very nice as it tucks really nice between the window
and the dashboard. If it works well, I might go for
a second GSM-antenna 🙂
Geir
Geir,
that sounds great :)
Regarding the passive GPS antenna, I've got
mine now, it's this one:
http://shop.aixtema.de/lancom/passive-antenne-gps-5m-sma-plug.html?___store=en&___from_store=default
…and it's a bit disappointing. I don't get
any better results than with the simple GSM
antenna. It's more the opposite, I had 10
satellites with the GSM antenna
in about a minute, this GPS antenna needs
around 10 minutes to get there and then
doesn't get better.
So maybe you could first try a second GSM
antenna instead. Or maybe the LANCOM antenna
is garbage, it's one of the cheapest passive
antennas available.

Michael

Just a
small status update on the Kia Soul
porting.
My OVMS V3 is now connecting to the V2
server via my WiFi-network at home. I’ve
got the first data from the new hardware
through to the OVMS app on my iPhone.
Fantastic job guys!
As soon as my health is ok again, I can
start testing the hardware in my car and
verify the data and fix the bugs. The Kia
Soul should be almost on par with
the V2, with a few things added.
Just wish I had a case... And I need to
get a twin sim-card (I got free SMS and
lots of data included 🙂 ) so it can be
online away from home. Oh, and a
passive GPS-antenna.
This is looking good!
Geir
