Hi,

for synchronizing the shimmer2R with other sensors I´d like to set the 
timestamp of the data to GPS time.

1) GPS in docking station
2) GPS in shimmer module


1)
Shimmer documentation:
"The Shimmer Dock has recently been updated to include a GPS module. The GPS 
module will transmit serial GPS NMEA sentences to the docked Shimmer's external 
connector UART lines. This data can be used for application synchronization or 
localization." 

So, it should be possible to receive GPS signal with the docking station and 
set the time of the module accordingly.
The problem is that the GPS LED of the docking station doesn´t stop blinking 
green (=> doesn´t get a fix).


2) 
Alternatively, I could use the GPS board directly at the Shimmer. I cannot find 
any information which software is necessary to configure the shimmer 
accordingly. Shimmer connect doesn´t provide a GPS option for the configuration.


Has anybody used GPS@Shimmer before?


Thank you
Ben
