No position or time from MySensors GPS Sensor

[Daydreamer0008]

I can`t see any informatin been received from the GPS Sensor, any ideas?

[jkandasa]

@Daydreamer0008 Data should be in the form of GPS position and altitude. Payload: latitude;longitude;altitude(m). E.g. "55.722526;13.017972;18"

[Daydreamer0008]

The data is in that form. In MyController the sensor shows up as GPS but don't receive any data.

@Daydreamer0008 Let me check this locally and update you.

Hello @jkandasa ,

I ran into the same issue.

the format is correct and the serial gateway receives and acknowledge correctly:

130199 TSF:MSG:SEND,12-12-0-0,s=1,c=1,t=49,pt=0,l=23,sg=1,ft=0,st=OK:xx.229702;xx.345557;502
130223 TSF:MSG:READ,0-0-12,s=1,c=1,t=49,pt=0,l=23,sg=0:xx.229702;xx.345557;502

I have edited the real location on purpose, but I guarantee that they are correct.

I have some additional information.

I added a S_INFO child to the GPS sensor and sent the position as text. MyController gets confused again.
I suspected that the semicolon ; can generate confusion in the parser, so in the text information I changed the semicolon ; with a pipe | separator and the text is reported correctly.

@fsgrazzutti Great work! - Thanks for sharing so others won't have the same problem!

@skywatch thanks !
hope il helps @jkandasa to fix it.

For my purpose I will send lat, lon, alt as separate floats, since I need them for computation, but it would be great if they coud be fixed one day
