Hi there!
I have set up a Gateway from Multitech with a Gateway-Bridge and Package-Forwarder and erverything is working fine.
The Packages are created by and send correct and arrive on the server.
I used the default package forwarder from semtech and the gateway-bridge from broccar.
(I’ll include the .init and conf files at the end)
However we noticed, GPS-Data is missing. If i do
sudo tcpdump -AUq -i lo port 1700
I get all the other Information in the stats file, but nothing about the gps data.
However
grep '' /dev/ttyXRUSB2
Shows, that the gateway knows, where it is.
After reading some topics, I included
“gps”:“true”,
and
“gps_tty_path”:"/dev/ttyXRUSB2"
in the global_conf.
Also i found a path ($gps_path) in the .init file of the package forwarder and changed it to /dev/XRUSB2.
I also tried to start the forwarder manually since it would give me more output to work with, but I always get the error no conf files found.
Somehow there is also no log data at /var/log/lora-pkt-fwd-1.log (where I would expect it).
However there is still no GPS data in the forwarder packages, has any of you guys an idea why?
Any help is really appreciated, I don’t know what to do further to fix this problem.
UPDATE:
I tried to use the fake gps Option to check if it works with it but when I edit the global_conf like
"fake_gps":"true",
"ref_latitude": xxxx,xx,
"ref_longitude": xxxx,xx,
"ref_altitude": xxx
Now the dump data shows correct lati and alti attitudes. (if i don’t set “gps”:“true”)
Has anybody experienced something similar to this?
How can I get the real data in?
