    Trying to get GPS and ModRana working

    I did some searches on various Linux forums- found some posts with people hitting that same error with gpsd, but was unable to find any solutions. I'm guessing it's something simple I need to tweak/install, but no clue where to start at this point.

    Trying to get GPS and ModRana working

    Still no luck. I tried: sudo killall gpsd sudo gpsd -Nn -D3 /dev/ttyUSB0 it responds: can't bind to IPv4 port gpsd, Cannot assign requested address. can't bind to IPv6 port gpsd, Cannot assign requested address. command sockets creation failed, netlib errors -1, -1 So I tried...

    Trying to get GPS and ModRana working

    I posted this in my thread about APRS, but it should probably have its own topic, in case anyone else runs into this. I'm trying to get my USB GPS working, and in particular, working with something like ModRana. I have the GPS hooked to a hub which also takes in a feed from my APRS TNC...

    USB to Serial & APRS

    Ok, I tried doing a gpsd -Nn -D3 /dev/ttyUSB0. that seemed to work for getting data, as I saw the correct information coming through the port (including my correct lat/long) However launching modRana, it just continued to show the default location in Germany. It also hung whenever it tried to...

    USB to Serial & APRS

    I messed around with this a bit yesterday. It looks like it's recognizing the Prolific USB to serial adaptor just fine. I'm just not sure what to do next... I still need to figure out what I'm going to do for APRS software, but in the meantime, I thought I'd just hook up the GPS and run...

    Pandora porting X11 libraries or Xastir to the Pandora

    Yeah, I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that this thing has way too many dependencies to be easily converted over. I think I'm out of luck, unless I can find a different APRS software package.

    Pandora porting X11 libraries or Xastir to the Pandora

    Thanks for the tips. No success yet, unfortunately. Been banging my head against the wall for hours. This is so frustrating. I keep getting caught in chains of dependency hell. As it is now, I've installed the image of sebt3's toolchain on Virtualbox and am still struggling to get Xastir to...

    Pandora porting X11 libraries or Xastir to the Pandora

    I'm trying to get Xastir ported over to work on the Pandora, and I'm not having much luck. I'm hoping someone here can offer some useful suggestions. I'm pretty new to Linux, (most of my coding has been in C++ and C# using Windos)so I'm struggling my way through the process of trying to...

    USB to Serial & APRS

    Excellent news, thanks. Digging a bit myself, I found that Prolific has Linux drivers for the cables I have. If those don't work, I can fall back on the FTDI cables. Thanks for the link!

    USB to Serial & APRS

    Thanks Christopher. Communication with the TT4 is just serial communication, and so long as you can connect to it, configuring is pretty straightforward. (Even in Windows, much of it is done by telnetting to the port.) What I'm more curious about is whether or not the usb to serial cables will...

    USB to Serial & APRS

    Apologies if this has been covered already- I did some searching and found a few related topics, but I wasn't real clear on the answer. I'm planning to buy a Pandora. One of the (many) things I'd like to do with it is hook it up to my Ham radio TTC (http://www.byonics.com/tinytrak4/) as well...
