I configured the Raspberry with Raspbian Jessie Pixel and Occidentalis v0.3 and wired the Ultimate GPS Breakout board directly on the Pi (because it's more convenient for configuring). I also didn't use an USB adapter but UART. For the GPS client daemon I'm using GPSD.
The problem that I'm having is that I can't seem to get a FIX with GPSD. I went outside with the setup but that didn't work, then I also went on the roof of my school, even that didn't work. I configured the Pi using GPSD exactly like in the manual. I've been doing everything exactly like I'm supposed to but nothing works. I will put an output of some commands in the attachments. Commands I used for output are: - cgps -s - xgps - The white screenshot is the status line which displays in xgps. - sudo lsof /dev/ttyAMA0 - gpsmon
Have you been able to get anything out of /dev/ttyAMA0 at all?
I'm assuming you've freed up the UART, disabled the linux serial console, and enabled UART via raspi config?
This is the direct PDF on the GPS module and shows you how to get NMEA sentence raw output from the module
Sorry If I can't be of much more help. I'm an embedded dev but without seeing your physical wiring setup and what you've already done beyond run every linux gps util against the port I'm not able to do much.
You'll have to go over what's happening and diagnose/verify at every layer that things are correct, that means check the gps module power supply (multimeter needed) check your linux config and ports with something else that you know is working etc etc.
Hi @catsay , I just checked if I have free'd the UART and disabled the linux serial console according to the manual, and I already did that. Thank you very much for your help though, If you have any more ideas I'm happy to try them.
