=== For Python install ===
[[Wearher monitor modules | Modules]]
 
pip install geographiclib
or
sudo apt install python3-geographiclib
 
=== Build ===
 
Code is found here (on SVN)
 
svn co svn://repos.gbar.dtu.dk/jcan/svnjca/projekter/gnss_receiver
 
The C++ code is then in qt/gnss_qt
 
Build by
 
cd gnss_receiver/qt/gnss_qt
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j3
 
Run to create a configuration file
 
./gnss_qt
 
== CMake problem ==
 
=== GeographicLibConfig.cmake ===
 
The find package
find_package(GeographicLib REQUIRED)
in cmake fails, as the file GeographicLibConfig.cmake is not found.
 
This can be fixed by renaming the provided file ''FindGeographicLib.cmake'' by
cd /usr/share/cmake/geographiclib
sudo ln -s FindGeographicLib.cmake GeographicLibConfig.cmake
 
=== XKB ===
 
Missing library, and CMake complains:
 
-- Could NOT find XKB (missing: XKB_LIBRARY XKB_INCLUDE_DIR) (Required is at least version "0.5.0")
 
The solution was to install
 
sudo apt install libxkbcommon-dev
 
This occurred on Raspberry Pi 4-5 using the 64-bit default OS.
 
== Configure ==
 
After the gnss_qt is run the first time, there should be a default configuration file
 
[service]
logpath = log_%d/
; the '%d' will be replaced with date and timestamp (must end with a '/'). =
max_logging_minutes = 60.0
log_service = true
 
[mqttin]
broker = tcp://localhost:1883
context = ublox9/
clientid = ublox9_in
function = nmea/
system = ublox9/
log = true
print = false
use = false
 
[gnss]
;input = /dev/ttyACM0
input = ../../../log/log_24h_asta_mqtt.txt
input_use = true
log = false
interval_sec = 0
logtime = false
 
[ini]
; set 'saveconfig' to 'false' to avoid autosave =
saveconfig = true
version = 2285 2025-06-26 07:20:46
 
[mqttinw]
broker = tcp://192.168.2.216:1883
context = not used
clientid = weather_in
function =
system = weather7/
log = true
print = false
use = true
 
There are two input alternatives:
* From a file (default may be ''/dev/ttyACM0'') or a logfile generated by the MQTT streamer for NMEA messages. Set ''input_use = true'' to use this alternative.
* Group ''[mqttin]''. It is for use with an MQTT server that streams the NMEA messages. Change the IP in the ''[mqttin]'' group and change to ''use=true''. The NMEA messages are assumed to be in the payload of the message, and the subject as described (subscribing to 'ublox9/nmea/#').
* Group ''[mqttinw]'' is the input source for weather information.
