Hi Chris,

the configuration file is the same as the one you would use for u-center (from the wiki). There is no need to configure it for any place on the world or for not having SBAS. Paparazzi has flown in the southern hemisphere...so it should work.

Try adding the LATLONG as David suggested. It might be a good idea to test with Windows and see if there is a general problem with the GPS receiver.

Thankyou Martin, you are right, that's exactly what I was doing (wrong); trying to use u-center on wine with the usb tunnel, as though it were a FTDI chip/cable.

The Linux-only cli tool looks good, but I don't know how to get an appropriate configuration file to use. Mine is a "GPS 1.3 with LEA-5H GPS and GPS antenna" (direct quote from chebuzz's site, where I got it). I think I need to reconfigure it for Australia (where there is no SBAS), because as it is I'm getting good signal strength but position +/- 8000km (crazy; near Hawai no wait, Vladisvostoc, hang on make that Bermuda...).

Should I just source a window's machine and experiment, or is this a known problem (and is the appropriate configuration available somewhere).

    Hi Chris,

    seems you are using the usb-tunnel
    (http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Compiling#USB_tunnel). This will
    appear as /dev/ttyACM0. Not sure if wine/u-center support that. FTDI
    chips will be at /dev/ttyUSB0.

    You can use the Linux-only command line tool in conf/gps to
    configure your GPS receiver. Set the serial port and file name in
    ublox_conf.c, 'make' it and start it as './ublox_conf'.

    A bit more digging; I've learned that installing the "wvdial"
    package (to set up a ppp connection with a GSM modem) probably
    introduced a kernel module called cdc-acm.ko. I think this is being
    used to mount my autopilot on /dev/ttyACM0 instead of /dev/ttyUSB0
    or /dev/ttyS0.

    According to comments in (linux
    source)/documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt, it's the usb-serial module
    that should be used to mount FTDI serial devices, cdc-acm is for
    some modems. Is there some way to get my machine to use the
    appropriate driver without removing the modem support (and losing my
    access to the internet).

    Thanks Mark,

    yes I tried that, but it also doesn't work - there is no such thing
    as /dev/ttyUSB0 on my machine. When I plug in the device I get a new
    /dev/ttyACM0.

    Hi, I need to reconfigure my GPS but I am unable to install u-center
    (v5.08) on Linux (Debaan lenny) using Wine.

    The error I get is during "Execute: DPInst.exe", after clicking
    through the "Device Driver Installation Wizard" screen, I get
    "Cannot complete device driver installation wizard; driver name:
    u-blox AG (ubloxusb) Ports (09/12/2008 1.2.0.1); status: install
    failed ". I've tried it with and without my TWOG+GPS plugged into
    the USB (same result)

    I think Wine might be OK because Motorcalc works fine under it.

    I think I flashed my TWOG (+GPS :) with the tunnel OK, when I power
    it up then plug it in /var/log/messages has something like this:

    Nov 24 21:44:12 dev-support-lappy kernel: [275135.220098] usb 1-1:

    When I:
    dev-support-lappy:/home/daims# ls -l /dev/ttyACM0
    crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 2009-11-24 21:44 /dev/ttyACM0

    and:
    dev-support-lappy:/home/daims# groups daims
    daims dialout cdrom floppy audio www-data video plugdev netdev powerdev

    so that looks fine. if I "cat /dev/ttyACM0" I get characters on
    stdout (non-assci). I don't know why it uses dialout group for that
    device, might have something to do with me installing wvdial a
    little while ago.

    Oh yeah, I've also tried various combinations of linking com1 and
    com2 to /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyACM0 in ~/.wine/dosdevices.

    What should I try next? please help.
