I bought a Sierra Wireless MC8781 mPCI-E 3G+GPS, the 3G/GPRS connection runs well. But I want to know how to access the GPS, at the same time…

It´s possible ???

I´m using ROS 4.1

you need to enable GPS on miniPCI-e and then NMEA channel (hopefully channel 2) will be assigned for GPS data. After that you need to configure router as described in Mikrotik GPS manual. e-g
system gps set gps enable=yes channel=2 port=usb2

Thank you very much… It´s working, but :

I want to access to the GPS using SPECIAL-LOGIN option, to access directly to NMEA-184 protocol. When I make a SPECIAL-LOGIN access, I cannot select the CHANNEL of PORT, I access the 3G/GPRS MODEM :open_mouth:

Other problem that I have is that I need to DISABLE the GPS package, because I need to do this to access to NMEA ..If I disabled the GPS PACKAGE, I cannot ACTIVATE the GPS of the board :frowning:

Best Regards

Chipi,
Did you really manage to get GPS position using Sierra MC8781 ?
I have simillar model 8780 and can’t do it :frowning: MT sees 3 channels where #2 is for AT commands channel but anyone is NMEA channel…
The only way I could get GPS position was issuing “AT!GPSLOC?” on AT command channel but “/system gps monitor” didn’t work" and I wasn’t able to get full NMEA data on any channel…
