Based on this I tried to use HyperTrm to send the pdf sample command to
turn on WAAS capability:
I think WAAS is turned on by default. My sure lists that it is using
DGPS but no DGPS station ID or time since source. It gives about a 1.5m
standard deviation error, which is what you get with WAAS.
Probably not: It does report which sats it is currently tracking and I
have not seen any EGNOS sats listed.
$PMTK513,1*28<CR><LF>
but it didn't seem to work. It is possible that the EOL sequence needs
to be transmitted without any time gap, so I'll write tiny program to
send custom commands.
Use minicom with the Y command to send a file. On garmin they do not
care that the checksum is sent.
OK, I've realized that HyperTrm can also send files.
OTOH, my first serious piece of programming ever was a terminal emulator
and file transfer program, so hacking together a q&d NMEA sender would
be fun.
I've done some more careful inspection of the Sure GPS comms trace:
It really looks like the GPS does _not_ listen to commands by default,
instead the controlling program sends a solitary '0' char to ask for
"permission to talk".
About 200 ms later the GPS boards drop the CD (Carrier Detect) line, and
then the gps.exe program sends the private NMEA message.
As soon as the ending <CR><LF> arrives the GPS turns CD back on and
restarts the configured NMEA messages.
If this sequence is required by default, then it must also be possible
to turn off such very non-standard GPS behavior, right?
