A year or so ago, I bought to GR-601W from some one on this list. I regret that I can no longer trace those mails. Whoever it was, thank you. i am using it with a RPi, doing git pulls and scons install twice a day. It feeds an NTP server in the pool:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/scores/59.189.61.57I spent the last few days looking for a USB or RS232 mouse that supports BeiDou-2. 2 reasons:
- Validate if we are processing BD2 correctly
- See what NMEA-IDs or PRNs are reported
I could not find any (this included mainland China eBay-clones). Lots of people selling modules, but not complete units.
I have contacted Navisys in Taiwan, and spoken with a helpful lady. I asked for the GR-8014W.
Sidebar:
- First digit: Generation, corresponds to ublox version
- Second and third digits are always "01"
- Fourth digit: 1=GPS, 2=not used, 3=GPS+GLONASS, 4=GPS+BD2
- Letter (interface): T=DIN TTL , R=DIN RS232, U=USB , W=USB+PPS
I am ordering two samples to be shipped to Singapore (they are out of stock, lead time 7-10 days). I will ship one to whoever wants one to play with. You may ask for a "R" unit if you like.
I enquired about if there is a retail site, but my english != her english, so this did not go well. I will try and track this down
If anyone else wants a unit, please fill up here.
http://bit.ly/1D2iTFRNote that your responses are public, I will contact you separately for your postal address. Price is approx US$50 + under US$10 Registered Post. You are NOT committing to a purchase by filling in the form. Please fill up requests by 12 noon UTC Sunday. I will revert with exact prices by 12 noon UTC Monday and you have a day to confirm.
Note that the 801 has a battery, Navisys wishes to use DHL to ship to me. I will ignore this, and any shipments I make will be by normal post.
I can also introduce you directly to the lady at Navisys, if you want other models.
Of interest:
p iii: This is a new model!
p 1: Read the last line. The people I spoke to in Taiwan had not heard of gpsd.
p 4: Unit is aware of leap seconds
p10: BeiDou NMEA-IDs are 400+
Let me know if you need more info.
