Compatibility with C94-M8P-2

Open scott-robotics opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Hi

I have a C94-M8P-2 development board (two of them, running as a Base/Rover pair). It seems like this package is built for C94-M8P-0? In particular, given that the *-2 can either act as base (REF) or rover (ROV), I can only see it reporting that it is a "REF" device (this check is made in ublox_gps/src/node.cpp:107), even when I specify the rover yaml file. I have added a parameter to explicitly tell the node if its working with a ROV device, which 'seems' to work but it's not clear of the parameters in the yaml are getting propagated properly.

  1. Has this package been tested with the newer C94-M8P-2?
  2. What may need to change to ensure all the settings are getting set correctly? (I'm happy to make necessary changes, just need some guidance)
  3. I can read all the /rover/nav* topics, when I set the explicit parameter

Thanks!

Terry

Hello Terry,

I am also using this package to manage my C94-M8P-2 ublox dev board and have exactly the same issue as you. It does not seems to work only with NEO-M8P-0 board after looking on how this package is implemented.

Do you manage to find an other solution than overwriting the FWVER checking part ?

Thanks a lot ! Louis
