Please don't do that.  They belong right next to the ecef stuff.

Which means possibly you forgot to set to NAN, or you are setting the
values to zero.

Not a surprise.

Where is velD?

More than understanding.  With your permission I hope to eventually
merge in to git head.  Does gpsd have that permission from you?

The patch shows good progress, but needs work:

cgps.c: You just added 2 blank lines?

driver_nmea0183.c: I can't match you addition of gpsd_log() with 
my copy of the source.  What version source did you base on?  Besst to
base on git head.

deiver_nmea0183.c: 

Uh, don't do this:


+       gpsd_log(&session->context->errout, LOG_INF, "Modifying sAcc from 
VELNED \r\n");
+       session->newdata.eps = session->driver.ubx.last_serr;

We do not modify data from the GPS.  Scale and range per the doc only.

This is not gonna happen:

+        msg[0] = 0x01;          /* class */
+        msg[1] = 0x02;          /* msg id  = NAV-POSLLH */
+        msg[2] = 0x01;          /* rate */
+        (void)ubx_write(session, 0x06u, 0x01, msg, 3);
+
+        msg[0] = 0x01;          /* class */
+        msg[1] = 0x012;          /* msg id  = NAV-VELNED */
+        msg[2] = 0x01;          /* rate */
+        (void)ubx_write(session, 0x06u, 0x01, msg, 3);

We already over fill the u-blox input buffer on init.  Move to
ubxtool, or we gotta figure out a way to queue the init stuff.

This breaks regressions:


-                        if len(fields) > 14:
-                            self.fix.mode = default(14, MODE_SET, int)
+                        if len(fields) > 17:
+                            self.fix.mode = default(17, MODE_SET, int)

Make it an "else if"

I see you expanded some indents to 8 from 4.  All new indents are 4.
Try to match the existing formatting.

Like, don't do this:


+               {
                continue;
+               }

Style consistency is important.  So unless you want to reformat ALL
the code, dont do that.

Bad socket is an error, leave it:

                if (BAD_SOCKET(ssock))
-                   gpsd_log(&context.errout, LOG_ERROR,
+                   gpsd_log(&context.errout, LOG_INF,

Uh, gpsd.h-tail??  WTF?  What version is this???

gpsd.h-tail was removed in January 2017!

get on git head!

As I said before, these need to be in gps_fix_t:

+           double last_serr;
+           double last_velN;        /*North component of velocity vector*/
+           double last_velE;        /*East velocity component*/
+           double last_height;   /*Height above ellipsoid*/

Many drivers can use it, not ubx specific, so does not belong in a ubx 
only structure.

And, where is velD?

Let us agree on what gpsd.h looks like, get that patch into git head,
then move on.

gpsd_json.c:

+       if (isnan(gpsdata->cust_param.velN) == 0)

No, read the comment on the top of a recent gpsd_json.c for why that
is a bad idea.

gps.h:

+struct cust_param_t {
+       double velN;        /*North component of velocity vector*/
+       double velE;        /*East velocity component*/
+       double height;      /*Height above ellipsoid*/

Put in gps_fit_t and that goes away.  You are working too hard.

Once again, where is velD?

Actually a pretty good first cut.  Don't be discouraged.  Let us
get on the same source code version (git head), get gpsd.h nailed down,
then the rest will be not too hard to fix.
