Re: [gpsd-dev] SiRF IV on gpsmon

OK.  Next thing to try is to get gpsmon out of the way.

0. Hook up your GR-601W.

2. Start gpsd at -D 5.  Verify that PPS edges are being seen.

3. Fire up telnet localhost 2847

4. Give it this watch request:

?WATCH={"enable":true,"nmea":true,"ppsbar":true}

The new magic is "ppsbar":true. The output should look something like this:

address@hidden:~/software/gpsd$ telnet localhost 2947
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Doesn't reproduce here.  This is with the BU355 (SirF III) on /dev/USB0:

address@hidden:~/software/gpsd$ gpsctl -f /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF at 19200 baud.
address@hidden:~/software/gpsd$ gpsctl -f -s 9600 /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF at 19200 baud.
address@hidden:~/software/gpsd$ gpsctl -f /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF at 9600 baud.
address@hidden:~/software/gpsd$ gpsctl -f -s 38400 /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF at 9600 baud.
address@hidden:~/software/gpsd$ gpsctl -f -s 38400 /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF at 38400 baud.
address@hidden:~/software/gpsd$ gpsctl -f -s 9600 /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF at 38400 baud.
address@hidden:~/software/gpsd$ gpsctl -f /dev/ttyUSB0
/dev/ttyUSB0 identified as a SiRF at 9600 baud.

Hm. Is it possible they changed the port configuration sentence in the
version IV protocol?

I think I'll hack the ID sentence to include the firmware 
subtype if it's available.
