Connecting the GPS from a standard raspberry image

[Ello]

Hello,

I’m using the Navio2 card on a Raspberry4 and i’m trying to access its sensors (accel/gyro/mag and GPS), but from a standard raspberry image. i’m running the scripts given from GitHub - emlid/Navio2: C++ and Python sensor examples for developers, but it doesnt work, with an error, for instance for the GPS : line 719 in init_ self.dev.open(bus,cs) no such file or directory. It feels like i am missing a driver or something like it.
Is there a way i can make the test scripts work ? If not do i need to use the raspbian image ? Is there a raspbian image with a HMI so i can work on the scripts without having to upload everything ?

Thanks for your answer !

Hi Ello,

These scripts use the RCIO tool, which is only available with the Navio2 Raspbian image. So, if you want to work with Navio2 examples, you need to install the preconfigured Raspbian.

Yup, i figured that but thanks for explaining !

I’m working with the Preconfigured raspbian right now. But i do have problems with the GPS using python right now.
here is the link to my post.
Thanks again !

GPS having different readings in C++ and Python

Hello ! I’m working on using the Navio2 hat card for a python project. I do need to read the GPS inputs of the card. Longitude and lattitude seems correct and are the same between C++ and python, but in python the altitude (HMSL (height main sea level) is off, stating 300meters. Is there something off on the python example ? Also if there is a way to get the xyz speed by using the GPS readings but i’ll be looking into that later.
