WL UGPS External

Send NMEA position information (GGA and HDT) to the Water Linked UGPS API.

Typical Configuration

Add a satellite compass to the topside vessel and connect it to the ROV Ethernet network.

  • It should have a static IP address on the 192.168.2.X subnet
  • It should send GGA and HDT messages via UDP to BlueOS at 192.168.2.2:6200

Install this extension in BlueOS:

  • Select Extensions in the sidebar
  • Click on WL UGPS External
  • Click Install

After a few moments you should see the WL UGPS External entry in the sidebar. Click on it to see a very simple UI.

Arguments

  • Set UGPS_HOST to the IP address of the WL UGPS G2 box. The default is http://192.168.2.94.
  • Set SEND_RATE to the rate to send position information to the G2 box. The default is 2Hz.
  • Set POLL_RATE to the rate to poll the G2 box for acoustic and pose information. The default is 0 (no polling).
  • If LOG_NMEA is --log_nmea, then NMEA messages will be logged. The default is blank (no logging).

You can provide custom arguments in BlueOS. For example, you can enable logging using these arguments: ~~~ { "Env": [ "UGPSHOST=http://192.168.2.94", "SENDRATE=2.0", "POLLRATE=5.0", "LOGNMEA=--log_nmea" ] } ~~~

Logs can be found in BlueOS:

  • Select File Browser in the sidebar
  • Click on extensions
  • Click on wlugpsexternal

Caveats

  • The G2 box still needs a GPS fix to synchronize its clock.
