This is a FANTASTIC guide. This got me over the wall I was stuck at all weekend. Now I can put my project in an enclosure and be finished. Thank you so much!
ANother excellent video. One idea would be to put a static IP address on your server and then set up DHCP to reserve a block of address that are not dynamically given to other devices on the network. That way your server side, a printer or whatever that a client needs to address will always have the same IP and never require changing it.
@@KM4ACK all good. It was funny. I tried to make it work, then someone else was asking the Gpsd devs about it. 3 of us played with it over about 2 weeks. GPSd and direwolf work well over the network. My next goal is to send APRS SMS messages if my internet goes down.
Start direwolf with the “-p” option. Then you can connect to it with YAAC or xastir. Either same machine or across a network. Both apps make sending APRS messages child’s play.
Hey Jason, after doing this cgps on the server works but gpsmon doesnt. Can't confirm that it did before but not sure why it wouldnt. Any ideas? Of note, I had to do a cold reboot after the gpsd.socket part just due to the nature of usb gps devices.
@@KM4ACK I have a NWdigital DRAWS running NTP on my network and an APRS digipeter. It works great. I even like running YAAC on my PC and connect to the DRAWS APRS.
@@KM4ACK We were working on it with the Python scripts instead of Ruby scripts, but haven't been able to get it to auto-detect and enable, if you remember...
I haven't checked but can't imagine the GPS consumes much power. It was more about making the setup as simple as possible and reducing the number of components.
Not working I get the following error message in the client side cgps display {"class":"ERROR","message":"Unrecognized request ' ' "}, the client side gpsd status shows the correct network address and no errors ie gpsd://192.168.1:2947. I checked all the changes you had made. The server side cgps command runs ok and both pi's can ping on the network. Any ideas Dennis ad5ao

Glad it helped!
Brilliant. Just what I've been trying (and failing) to do.
Cheers 👌
This was going to be my weekend project. You probably just saved me from a nightmare. Thanks!
It was certainly entertaining for a few hours while I figured it out :-) Most of that time was spent reading and researching.
This is super cool and useful. Thank you.
You just gave me the answer for one of my project, future command post. Thanks
Love all of your video's but this one is way over my head 😆
Great tutorial as usual Jason! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thnx Jason, you're always looking to improve everything. Much appreciated. 👍🍻
My pleasure!
Thank you this is quote helpful.
Used your instruction and some details from Julian to get my station NTP and GPS in a network, Thanks
Amazing discoveries. I love smart hams 😆

I wish you released this video a few weeks ago. It took me a while to learn to edit the gpsd.socket file. I even talked to the gpsd devs on IRC.
Sorry! I didn't even realize I needed this until Winter Field Day.

Since it is a separate machine can we also run a NTS server?
probably so
Excellent ! If you can figure out how to share the GPS data from your 705 to your RPi/Mint laptop without a dongle, that would be cool !
Have you tried using mDNS with this?

I want to install gpsd on my ubuntu server 22.04 is it work?
Don't forget to set up the NTP service, too, using the GPS source...
Good call! I think it is already but I'll have to do some testing.

This is awesome. Removing duplicate services. Has anyone tested a GPS for power draw?

Wait, so there's no text to copy and paste?
Not working

try restarting the gpsd service and/or reboot. If that doesn't work. Double check the changes you made for any typos.
Great tutorial on a useful tool ! 73 de Don KM6TRZ
