Re: [gpsd-users] TSIP driver flaky? v3.10

[Gerry Creager - NOAA Affiliate]

Hi, Eric,

So I just had time to get back to this, and:

/dev/ttyUSB0 9600 8N1         Unknown device> No monitor matches Trimble TSIP.

Direct connect. 

Restarted gpsd looking at /dev/ttyUSB0, and then invoked cgps. It fails with a GPS timeout.

I've got a few other devices I can try this against, but they're a 6 hour drive away. I'll do those after Thanksgiving, as well as getting the Motorola Oncore dump for you.

gerry

Nothing's wrong.  You're running gpsmon in client mode rather than direct,
so the first thing it sees is the JSON hi-I'm-here emitted by gpsd when you
connect. When gpsmon achieves recognizes a packet type the display will change
to something more familiar.
