teseo vic3da does not update location

[kencimenci]

Hi, 

I bought a TESEO VIC3DA from MIKROE some time ago. I am addressing it via UART. I am receiving RX data, but it is always the same. The same location is always returned. I can also see in the frame that I have 0 satellites. However, I had the hardware near the window. But no new data is being delivered, and no new satellites are being detected.

If it has 0 satellites, then it has no way to know its location!

You will not get any valid location data until it has its minimum number of satellites.

How long did you give it?

Have you tried it in a clear outdoor location; maybe your building is "shielding" it - even near the windows...

You mean the GNSS 15 Click: https://www.mikroe.com/gnss-15-click ?

Did you attach an antenna?

Hi,

Adding to Andrew's post, typically windows in office building have shielding that blocks GNSS signals. Best way to test your board is to take it outside.

Secondly, have you downloaded Teseo Suite?

You can look at GSA and GSV messages and see if there are satellites being shown there.

Teseo Suite has SkyView and Signal Level GUI windows shows the same information.

Hi thanks a lot for your messages. After some weeks of heavy work load I am little bit free to do my hobby :). I will test it with a new antenna. I think the old one has some problems.

As already noted, be sure to test it outside - in an open location with a clear view of the sky !
