I have one simple question regarding the LtAP Mini. Is it possible to output GPS coordinates in NMEA format through the serial port?
I thought that since you have to disable the console and re-associate the serial port with the GPS, then it would be used to output the coordinates, but it does not work.
I have tried all firmware versions available 6.48.6 long-term, 6.49.7 stable and currently it has 7.7 stable installed. The behavior is the same regardless of the firmware version.
I don’t have problems with the serial port or serial cable. The console works fine when activated (GPS, of course, is disabled in this case).
The GPS also works fine. I get the coordinate without problems and transmit them to a HTTP server for GPS tracking, but I also would like them to be output through the serial port.
Not as familiar with the LtAP Mini and it’s internal GPS, so kinda guessing here. But if you have /system/gps enabled, that’s using the same serial port and you can’t have two open.
If you disable the /system/gps and then try using /system/serial-termial or assign to your real serial port, does that work?
If I disable the /system gps, I can use the serial terminal without problems.
I am asking this question because it is weird to have to associate the GPS with a serial port and then no data is transmitted through it. It is as if the serial port is just being used internally when associated with the GPS.
I would be less confused if I just had to disable the serial port from the terminal and after that the GPS could be enabled but without associating it with a serial port, as if they were two resources that could not be used at the same time.
