GPS Problem about airpi

[haydnw]

Please could someone with working GPS try commit 608f585 and let me know whether it works. I'm still struggling with my GPS on Jessie.

I have tested the changes to the two files and the airpi.py program now runs with the gps running in the background.

[AirPi] This run lasted 0h 2m 10s, and consisted of 20 samples.
I still have to sort out why the other outputs are not working but that will come later.
Many thanks for the help
I hope this is correct on Github as I have never used it before.

Hi Dave,

That's great, thanks very much. Feel free to ask on the AirPi forum if you need general help with the outputs, and then if there are any problems with the actual AirPi code we can pick them up here again.

Fixed in 608f585.

Hi Haydn
Thanks for the reply I am now starting to work out how to add a wind speed
and rain guage to the sensors, so working from first principles to get the
units sorted out. the rain is simple as bucket tips volume over time so
simple count is ok but wind speed is not so easy depending on wether you
count revs or measure voltage generated.
I did make up a small add on board using vero strip to plug the UV sensor
into J3 which I could write up if there is a need.

Hi Haydn,
do you still struggling with your GPS on Jessie?

Try to edit this..

/etc/default/gpsd

.. and paste

DEVICES="/dev/ttyAMA0"

Sven, that is fantastic, thank you so much! Took about 5 seconds to do it, and GPS now works perfectly! I've added a line to the installation instructions in the latest commit (fce8f75).
