Help for Oncore Nmea GPS with 18F4682
PostPosted: Tue May 18, 2010 4:51 am     Reply with quote

Hello everybody,

I'm implementing the Sw for reading information from Motorola Oncore GPS.
The code first commands the GPS switching to NMEA standard and after asking it for time information. The cmd signals seem reach the GPS (I've checked pin 9 TTL RXD with oscilloscope). Unfortunately the GPS does not react at all and none byte is received (Lcd always displays 5555).

Here in following is the code:
Code:

#use rs232(STREAM=GPS,baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8)

char buff[256]; // roll over at 255
unsigned short next_ptr = 0; // next byte in the circular buffer
unsigned short read_ptr = 0; // current byte to be read
char ch;

#INT_RDA
void RDA_isr()
{
ch = fgetc(GPS);   
buff[next_ptr++]=ch;// rolls over at 255 circular  buffer
}

unsigned short buff_gets(char str[])
{
    unsigned short i=0;
   
    while(next_ptr != read_ptr) // read pointer different by write pointer
    {
        str[i] = buff[read_ptr];
        i++;
        read_ptr++;   
    };
    str[i] ='\0';
         
    return(i);
}

void main()
{
    char strCmd[]="$PMOTG,RMC,0001";


    enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
    enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
   

   setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
   setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
   setup_wdt(WDT_OFF);
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);
   
           
    delay_ms(1000);
        set_uart_speed(9600,GPS);

    for (i=0;i<2;i++) // send 2 times 0x40 0x40 0x43 0x69 0x31 0x1B 0x0D,0x0A
    {
            delay_ms(1000);
        fputc('@',GPS);
        fputc('@',GPS);
        fputc('C',GPS);
        fputc('i',GPS);
        fputc(31,GPS);
        fputc(27,GPS); //0x1b checksum
        fputc(13,GPS);
        fputc(10,GPS);

        delay_ms(1000);
        set_uart_speed(4800,GPS);
   
        delay_ms(5000);

        fputs(strCmd,GPS);

    while(1)
    {
        len = buff_gets(msg);
       
        memcpy(line, '\0', 256);
        sprintf(line, "\f %s nc= %i\n", msg, len);
       
        if (strlen(msg) > 0)
            lcd_putc("\f4444\n");
        else
            lcd_putc("\f5555\n");
        delay_ms(500);

        for (i = 0; i < len; i++ )
            lcd_putc(line[i]);

        delay_ms(400);

    }

}

I spent 2 days on this problem analyzing and changing any code raw, but without results. Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance,
CCGDN.

This code worked for me ....it might work for you
Oncore is polled it doesn't squawk like most GPS units


Code:
void main()

{
int16 i;

char msg[16]; //// command msg buffer
char cmd[4];
char c;
int8 line[100];
read_ptr=0;
next_ptr=0;
free_space=255;

printf("start \n\r");
enable_interrupts(INT_RDA);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);

for(i=1;i<3;i++)
{
///////// assume 9600 baud rate at start up
///       preemptively switch to NMEA mode
set_uart_speed(9600,GPS);

sprintf(cmd,get_nmea_mode);
msg[0]=0x01;
send_cmd(cmd,msg,1);
delay_ms(1000);
}
//// should now be in 4800 baud Nmea mode

set_uart_speed(4800,GPS);




///////////////   get nmea mode ///////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
putc(10);
putc(13);
putc(10);
putc(13);
puts("NMEA");
putc(10);
putc(13);



repeat:

putc(10);
putc(13);
puts("GLL");
putc(10);
putc(13);
fputs("$PMOTG,GLL,0000\r\n",GPS);
sprintf(cmd,"GLL");
get_nmea(cmd,line);
puts(line);

putc(10);
putc(13);
puts("RMC");
putc(10);
putc(13);
fputs("$PMOTG,RMC,0000\r\n",GPS);
sprintf(cmd,"RMC");
get_nmea(cmd,line);
puts(line);

putc(10);
putc(13);
puts("VTG");
putc(10);
putc(13);

fputs("$PMOTG,VTG,0000\r\n",GPS);
sprintf(cmd,"VTG");
get_nmea(cmd,line);
puts(line);

putc(10);
putc(13);
puts("ZDA");
putc(10);
putc(13);
fputs("$PMOTG,ZDA,0000\r\n",GPS);
sprintf(cmd,"ZDA");
get_nmea(cmd,line);
puts(line);

goto repeat;;

while(1);

Hello Douglas Kennedy,

Thanks for suggestion. I'll try with your code. However, which are get_nmea and send_cmd procedure?

I did this a few years back but it might help you get an idea of what could be the issue you are having trouble with

Code:

#include <18F452.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOPUT,NOBROWNOUT,NOLVP

#use delay(clock = 20000000)

#use rs232(STREAM=GPS,baud=9600, xmit=PIN_c6, rcv=PIN_c7, parity=N, bits=8)
#use rs232(DEBUGGER)

#define get_nmea_mode "Ci"
#define get_time "Aa"
#define get_gmt  "Ab"
#define get_date "Ac"
#define get_lat  "Ad"
#define get_long  "Ae"
#define get_ascii_pos "Eq"
#define get_nmea_pos "Ea"
char buff[256]; ///// assumes in8 roll over at 255
