Sorry to hear your bad news. At least they didn't take your paparazzi equipment, right? Here's hoping you had insurance!

Do let me know when you try it again if it works for you. If it turns out the GPS is defective (I have had one that was bad so far) then of course it will be replaced. But again, if the GPS is working, but off like that, it is almost always because the LATLONG flag was missing.

Buzz,

yes, I was getting the 8000 km difference from paparazzi. I'm pretty sure I included -DGPS_USE_LATLONG, but can't be sure because my house was burgled and I lost my computers (+cameras, etc), I'm starting over again :(.

I'll gest a windows machine later next week and make sure the GPS is working as Martin suggested. Then I'll make sure I include -DGPS_USE_LATLONG and try it from paparazzi again.

        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.

           Subject: [Paparazzi-devel] difficulty installing u-center
        with wine

           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:

           When I:

           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.
