Buzz,

yes, I was getting the 8000 km difference from paparazzi. I'm pretty sure I included -DGPS_USE_LATLONG, but can't be sure because my house was burgled and I lost my computers (+cameras, etc), I'm starting over again :(.

I'll gest a windows machine later next week and make sure the GPS is working as Martin suggested. Then I'll make sure I include -DGPS_USE_LATLONG and try it from paparazzi again.

Thankyou Martin, you are right, that's exactly what I was doing (wrong); trying to use u-center on wine with the usb tunnel, as though it were a FTDI chip/cable.

The Linux-only cli tool looks good, but I don't know how to get an appropriate configuration file to use. Mine is a "GPS 1.3 with LEA-5H GPS and GPS antenna" (direct quote from chebuzz's site, where I got it). I think I need to reconfigure it for Australia (where there is no SBAS), because as it is I'm getting good signal strength but position +/- 8000km (crazy; near Hawai no wait, Vladisvostoc, hang on make that Bermuda...).

Should I just source a window's machine and experiment, or is this a known problem (and is the appropriate configuration available somewhere).

   Hi Chris,

   seems you are using the usb-tunnel
   (http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Compiling#USB_tunnel). This will
   appear as /dev/ttyACM0. Not sure if wine/u-center support that.
   FTDI chips will be at /dev/ttyUSB0.

   You can use the Linux-only command line tool in conf/gps to
   configure your GPS receiver. Set the serial port and file name in
   ublox_conf.c, 'make' it and start it as './ublox_conf'.

   A bit more digging; I've learned that installing the "wvdial"
   package (to set up a ppp connection with a GSM modem) probably
   introduced a kernel module called cdc-acm.ko. I think this is
   being used to mount my autopilot on /dev/ttyACM0 instead of
   /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyS0.

   According to comments in (linux
   source)/documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt, it's the usb-serial
   module that should be used to mount FTDI serial devices, cdc-acm
   is for some modems. Is there some way to get my machine to use the
   appropriate driver without removing the modem support (and losing
   my access to the internet).

   Thanks Mark,

   yes I tried that, but it also doesn't work - there is no such
   thing as /dev/ttyUSB0 on my machine. When I plug in the device I
   get a new /dev/ttyACM0.

   Subject: [Paparazzi-devel] difficulty installing u-center with wine

   Hi, I need to reconfigure my GPS but I am unable to install
   u-center (v5.08) on Linux (Debaan lenny) using Wine.

   The error I get is during "Execute: DPInst.exe", after clicking
   through the "Device Driver Installation Wizard" screen, I get
   "Cannot complete device driver installation wizard; driver name:
   u-blox AG (ubloxusb) Ports (09/12/2008 1.2.0.1); status: install
   failed ". I've tried it with and without my TWOG+GPS plugged into
   the USB (same result)

   I think Wine might be OK because Motorcalc works fine under it.

   I think I flashed my TWOG (+GPS :) with the tunnel OK, when I
   power it up then plug it in /var/log/messages has something like this:

   Nov 24 21:44:12 dev-support-lappy kernel: [275135.220098] usb 1-1:
   new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8

   Nov 24 21:44:13 dev-support-lappy kernel: [275135.399498] usb 1-1:
   SerialNumber: 12345678

   When I:
   dev-support-lappy:/home/daims# ls -l /dev/ttyACM0
   crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 2009-11-24 21:44 /dev/ttyACM0

   and:
   dev-support-lappy:/home/daims# groups daims
   daims dialout cdrom floppy audio www-data video plugdev netdev
   powerdev

   so that looks fine. if I "cat /dev/ttyACM0" I get characters on
   stdout (non-assci). I don't know why it uses dialout group for
   that device, might have something to do with me installing wvdial
   a little while ago.

   Oh yeah, I've also tried various combinations of linking com1 and
   com2 to /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyACM0 in ~/.wine/dosdevices.

   What should I try next? please help.
