[Flightgear-devel] GPS && gpsd
You know what would be really neat? If flightgear's GPS support was able to emulate gpsd. So while you're flying around, you can run any mapping program that supports gpsd (gpsdrive or pygps at very least), and see your position as if you were there. -- --My blog is at angry-economist.russnelson.com | Rebecca's incredibly neat Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | County Fair quilt is now 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | at http://rebeccanelson.com/ Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | quilt/index.html ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

A quick read of the gpsd protocol indicates it should be easy enough. A variation of the props server with some code from the NMEA protocol class should do the trick. I will code something this weekend if no one else wants to. Cheers, Bernie ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

The telnet style interface would be straight forward. The raw NMEA mode requires some extra thought but should be doable.

When using two machines and a serial port cable 'most' moving map packages have no need for gpsd as they just see the serial port as a nmea gps signal source if FGFS is set up to transmit a NMEA signal. My guess is that gpsd would just work if setup this way too Norman ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I guess it's down to if you have a spare serial port at both ends :-) -- Jon Stockill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
