Folks
I am using ORG447x to obtain GPS fixes.
Whenever I power up my GPS module
Only response I get is
$PSRF150,1,*3E
Even if I have to write a series of input messages
"$PSRF103,01,00,01,01*24" --> Query rate for GGL message
"$PSRF100,1,4800,8,1,0*0E" --> setting serial port
I have never got any GGL output messages.
Is there any specific initialization routine I need to follow after powering up my GPS module?
Any tips or pointers appreciated
Thanks

I'm working on a BMS project for an electric car. I'm using LTC6804-2 for voltage and temperature measurement in each cells. As a first step of development, I would like to establish a successful communication with the monitoring IC (LTC6804-2). So, I'm sending set config register command and trying to read back the config register values that I have written. If I receive the configuration register values without a CRC error, I consider my communication as successful.
In my case, I do not receive expected register values with proper CRC when I read back. Let me break down my situation into small segments.
I'm working on a custom BMS board for this project(LTC6804-2 and STM32F072). I will attach the schematics below. To test my code, I tested my program with DC1942C demo board and arduino UNO. And it is working fine. I can read back the config register and I can calculate the cell voltage and Auxiliary values.
When I try to implement the same program in my custom BMS board, I'm not getting the correct values. I always get CRC error in the received data.
Following the guidelines from the Analog Devices forum, I tested the Vref2 value after sending the config register command, and the voltage goes up to ~3V as expected. So the IC is receiving the message properly. But Why it is not transmitting back?
Below are the captures from the demo board and BMS custom board.
Register read capture from Arduino Uno and demo board DC1942C
Register read capture from the custom board
In fact I tested the program with STM32 development board and DC1942 demo board, I get the correct values.
Thank you for your help. If you want any additional details, please let me know.

I'm trying to simulate the transmit and receive of a simple message (like "Helloworld") using an MSK/GMSK modulation but I seem to have some trouble receiving the message. I used the relatively new Symbol Sync block but I seem to be unable to get my input and output signals to align. I'm guessing I haven't set the Symbol Sync parameters properly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do that? (See below for flowgraph and current output)
I would like to eventually be able to implement this using USRP but am trying to simulate it first. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
In my current scenario, I'm using NETLIGHT Pin (Pin no. 64) of SIM800 module with my PIC microcontroller to know whether my module is registered or not?
This way I built the circuit. Just I removed LED from VBAT. Then I connect collected of NPN transistor to pic micro input PIN.
I want to know whether any easy way using AT commands to find network registration status of SIM800?
Unfortunalty it's seem not to be really possible (or in fact detecting this state in only one way)
I use SIM800 and let it run for hours and I have seen many cases of network loose, while the AT+CREG? continue telling everything is OK.
Also, even with network down, the SIM800 continue sending you the name of the operator and the strengh of the signal.
The only way I've found is to monitor the serial port: when the SIM800 loose the network, it sends two messages:
+PDP: DEACT and
+SAPBR 1: DEACT
I suggest you to have a look at the document "SIM800 Series_AT Command Manual" and especially the chapter "19.3 Summary of Unsolicited Result Codes". You'll find +PDP and other interesting code (like under-voltage warning, DNS failed...) and see some of these messages are not linked to AT command.
From the manufacturer's documentation:
I have a GPS circuit board from china. The only information I can find on this thing is :"amoj GPS 04C www.amoj.com"
It has a serial (DB9) connection and I would like to determine how to putty into it or something.
How can I determine what the port settings that are required to access this?

The Jupiter TU60 serial interface is 9600 8N1 by default. The only sentence it will output automatically is the flash checksum message about a second after power up. Google the datasheet for the device and it will let you know about this.
To have it output the position and other information, you must command it to do so. There is a default set of commands that are active after power up. They begin with ## and are from the protocol used by Motorola. Refer to the M12+ Users Guide and Supplement (available online) for information on how to use these commands. I have been able to enter them from Realterm. The only tricky part is calculating the checksum. You can use most hex calculators to do that.
According to the datasheet, the unit goes into survey mode automatically and after about 24 hours goes into position hold. The 1PPS and 10KHz signals are valid to less than a microsecond after a few minutes after power up and to 50nS after a day. I have compared this to another standard I have to verify this. You can use the ##Ea command to get the status of the unit and the M12+ Manual will tell you how to decode it.
Look for $GP... messages at 4800 and 9600BPS as yegorich suggest. Common NMEA messages output by GPS devices are $GPGGA, $GPVTG, $GPRMC.. If you find that data coming out, use Google to look up NMEA 0183 sentence structure and you will have what you need...
I have the same board with the Navman jupiter T Tu60 GPS 1pps 10khz GPS Module on it. I just received my sma antenna and have hooked it up. I am using 12.6V power to the centre pin.
It outputs 1pps on the led with no signal, so that is not to be trusted. Mine is labeled 1pps and 10khz underneath the pcb but these are actually swapped! I put the 10KHz output on my dso and get a 10KHz square wave 50% duty cycle signal but there is ringing on the waveform rise so I have to set the trigger level to 0.8v to get the dso to register the 10KHz frequency. I suspect this may be because the output expects a load and is not seeing one. Now, was I using ac or dc coupling?
I too am getting nothing on the serial. I tried 9600, 4800 using putty on com1 (I have a nice old motherboard) and then tried reversing rx and tx but no luck. As of now I am checking out the serial signals with the dso to see if I can work out what is happenning. I suspect that these boards are rubbish, and useful as power supplies only.
It reads 10.0000 on my hp 5328a counter and sometimes reads 9.9999. It would be nice to be able to talk to the gps to see whether it has satellite lock.
Please let me know how you get on and if you find out any further info.

im trying to read the current position of GPS Device...using N95 from Nokia.
I read tht i will need my device to return the NMEA lines to the serialport and then i will parse/split it to get things I want but all along I dont know what to write to the serialport to make device return the NMEA ?
Like There are other commands of AT for messaging etc...Is there any specific command to send to serialport to get NMEA ???
I found this site site which seems to guide you through everything you need to do.
I am not sure how it works in the N95, but in my HTC phone you cannot send commands to the GPS device to have it behave in a certain manner. Once I am connected to the serial port that the GPS device uses I can read a stream of data coming from it, which happens to be NMEA data. There is no way that I have found to send commands to the device to tell it how to behave.
I haven't used that specific GPS device before, but for mine, I just have to open the port and I start receiving the NMEA data immediately.
I have an N82, and as far as I know it doesn't speak NMEA directly. I use a script from this page - specifically one the titled "# Turn your S60 phone with an internal GPS (eg your N95) into a Bluetooth GPS" - to get NMEA strings.
Ahh oki so I need to run some script.Oki I think i should buy a specific GPS Device for it.
Which device will do my job in cheapest manner ?
I've never worked specifically with the N95, but most GPS devices will just start spitting out NMEA as soon as they're powered up, regardless of whether or not they have a lock. I don't know how the N95 is designed, but I'll bet it probably wasn't designed to give you access to the raw NMEA data from the GPS. You'll probably need some pretty fancy trickery to get it to do that.
If you don't need to use the N95, you might find it easier to just get a GPS module and use that instead. I've always purchased mine from SparkFun. They have some good evaluation boards boards and tutorials to help you get started.
A great way of doing this in Java ME is to use JSR 179: the Location API. Your app needs to create an implementation of LocationListener, then set it on the default LocationProvider. When your listener's locationUpdated method gets called, call:
location.getExtraInfo("application/X-jsr179-location-nmea");
This will provide access to the NMEA sentences.
You can send this over a serial port by using the Java ME commports mechanism (use:
System.getProperty("microedition.commports");
as described here).
Hope this helps,
