Why is my TOP608BT connected via bluetooth, but no data transmission?
Posted by jack wu on
It could be because the bluetooth "protocol out" settings have been changed. The bluetooth module connects to the GNSS module by UART 2 port. baud rate is 38400 (bluetooth module baud rate has to be 38400). Please use U-center and update the UART2 port to the below values if they are not already with these values. protocol in: RTCM3protocol out: UBX+NMEAbaud rate: 38400 Form U-center menu, click View --> Configuration View (or the toolbar icon) and open the configuration view windows. Select UBX --> CFG --> PRT(Ports), Please refer to the below screenshot. After changing the above settings, please save them permanently by...

How to confirm your ublox GNSS receiver is installed correctly for Windows Sensor API and location API
Posted by jack wu on
Starting with Windows 7, Microsoft introduced a built-in platform which supports sensor devices, including location sensors. As part of this support, the Windows Sensor and Location Platform provides a standard way for the apps to connect GPS/GNSS hardware. The platform gives developers a standardized API to work with sensors and sensor data. And most of the current Windows applications(e.g. Windows Maps) no longer access GPS hardware directly. Instead, they access location API. The following architecture diagram shows the relationship between Windows Location Platform and ublox GPS/GNSS receivers. GNSS100L and GNSS200L GNSS receivers are using ublox GNSS chip, they natively support Windows Sensor...
