i have a Drotek board with an Ublox M8N receiver. My goal is to connect it with a raspberry (running Rasbian OS) and record the raw measurements. The way I will record them is NOT my problem now (I will do it with socat or a script). My problem is that the receiver is not recognized ( I check with lsusb from the terminal). If I connect the Ublox Evaluation Kit M8, everything works fine. I have tried also to connect it to Windows 10 and run Ucenter. I have installed the drivers from this path “https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/tools/UBX-GNSS-CDC-ACM-windows_Driver_(UBX-drv-v1.2.0.8).exe.zip” in the pc running windows, but it is not recognized again. In the device manager it is shown as a USB device with an error (exclamation-mark). The receivers seems to work fine. If I connect it with a USB, the blue light is on automatically and the green light blinks some seconds later. Do you have any idea what is going on?
I thhink the UART is working, but I cannot record the messages. So far I have done the following steps to record the messages from UART
from the terminal I opened the configuration file with the command: “sudo nano /boot/config.txt"
then I added the following lines and saved it
"dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt” to disable bluetooth
"enable_uart=1" to enable the UART
in the end I disabled the Serial Console with the command: “sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt”, I removed the phrase “console=serial0,115200”. In order to record the messages, I write the command: "socat TCP-LISTEN:6000,fork /dev/ttyACM0,raw,echo=0,crnl>gps.ubx"
I tried the same without disabling the serial console, but no message recorded.
I am not sure how to disable console on Pi’s UART. If you can, give it a try with a real USB-Serial converter otherwise please send the module back so we can check everything, not being able to connect it via USB already looks like a problem.
I have connected the receiver with the UART and it communicates with Windows and Linux computers. When I connect it with u-center, I go to the configuration mode and in the <> menu I choose Target:1- UART1, Protocol In:0+1 -UBX+NMEA, Protocol Out:0+1 -UBX+NMEA, Baudrate:9600. Then on the <> menu I deactivate all NMEA messages because I dont need them (but if there are present there is no problem) and I try to activate the raw data with the option 02-15 RXM-RAWX on the UART1, but there is nothing shown in the console. Do you have any idea what is going wrong?
