Answer 1 · 2019-07-19T12:24:30.000Z

I think you should try original gps-sdr-sim, if you haven't tried yet.
https://github.com/osqzss/gps-sdr-sim

Answer 2 · 2019-07-19T12:33:47.000Z

I have tried it and works fine.
I don't understand how you turn on the webui for extracting the lat. longs

Answer 3 · 2019-07-19T12:44:52.000Z

Original gps-sdr-sim has -l option which reads static Lat/Lon from command line. I modified the code to read Lat/Lon from a file when you specify a file name instead of static Lat/Lon.

Answer 4 · 2019-07-19T12:47:08.000Z

I understand the concept but am unable to open the web ui

Answer 5 · 2019-07-19T12:47:27.000Z

can you tell me how to open the web ui

Answer 6 · 2019-07-19T13:02:38.000Z

You need to have WWW server such as apache2 on the same PC running modified gps-sdr-sim and hackrf-transfer. And follow https://github.com/crescentvenus/WALB/tree/master/webui

Answer 7 · 2019-07-19T13:03:35.000Z

ok thanks i will try and let you know

Answer 8 · 2019-07-19T14:46:08.000Z

I configured everything like it said in the link but which file do I run to start the webui

Answer 9 · 2019-07-19T14:58:40.000Z

Just access the WWW server you set up using browser chrome.
http://ip-youre-WWW-server/LatLon.php

Answer 10 · 2019-07-19T15:27:56.000Z

I access it but the ui doesn't open instead it just shows text

Answer 11 · 2019-07-19T15:29:39.000Z

Answer 13 · 2019-07-19T21:00:27.000Z

I got the map to work and ran the simulation but now for some reason it does not use the interactive mode just shows static mode and transmits some weird location

Answer 14 · 2019-07-19T22:13:20.000Z

The latlon.txt is not being generated

Answer 15 · 2019-07-19T22:31:09.000Z

Well, it may file's permission issue. Can you send me directory list of WWW server. ls -l

Answer 16 · 2019-07-19T22:38:52.000Z

really sorry but I don't know how to do it

Answer 17 · 2019-07-19T22:51:14.000Z

'ls -l' is one of the basic Linux command. On terminal , type something like "ls -l /var/www/html" .

Answer 18 · 2019-07-19T22:55:25.000Z

Here is the list

Answer 19 · 2019-07-19T23:08:23.000Z

You have to get administrator authority, '$ sudo -s'
Then, '# chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/webui/*'

Answer 20 · 2019-07-19T23:14:52.000Z

still nothing, I can't find any place where LatLong.txt is being created

Answer 21 · 2019-07-19T23:19:43.000Z

Check content of LatLon.ini.php.

Answer 22 · 2019-07-19T23:25:49.000Z

LatLon.ini.php says that the file is in \tmp but there was no file there

Answer 23 · 2019-07-20T00:05:35.000Z

Till now I have setup the server and map is working fine but the lat longs are not being saved

Answer 24 · 2019-07-20T00:22:00.000Z

When you click somewhere in the map, the center of the map changes accordingly ?

Answer 25 · 2019-07-20T00:37:48.000Z

yes the center moves and marker is placed

Answer 26 · 2019-07-20T00:44:34.000Z

How about /var/www/html/webui/LatLon.txt ?
It should contain Lat/Lon where you clicked and update every time you clicked.

Answer 27 · 2019-07-20T00:59:44.000Z

there is no LatLon.txt file

Answer 28 · 2019-07-20T01:21:42.000Z

You can check WWW server log in /var/log/apache2/error.log
Is there any error message in that file ?

Answer 29 · 2019-07-20T01:39:24.000Z

There are a few error messages

Answer 30 · 2019-07-20T01:51:48.000Z

As far as I can tell from error.log, you installed related files in /var/www/html/ but not /var/www/html/webui/. Is that correct ?
The 4th line of error.log tells it failed because lack of permission.

Answer 31 · 2019-07-20T01:57:04.000Z

How do I give more permission and also now the map has stopped loading

Answer 32 · 2019-07-20T01:59:38.000Z

Tell me first, where is the installed directory ?

Answer 33 · 2019-07-20T02:01:50.000Z

/var/www/html/webui/

Answer 34 · 2019-07-20T02:05:05.000Z

It is odd. error.log is pointing /var/www/html/LatLon.txt.

Answer 35 · 2019-07-20T02:06:07.000Z

how was I suppose to install directory?

Answer 36 · 2019-07-20T02:10:20.000Z

Install directory does not matter. It must be just consistent through installation and operation.
Can you show the result of "ls -l /var/www/html "

Answer 37 · 2019-07-20T02:10:43.000Z

also now map is not initializing properly

Answer 38 · 2019-07-20T02:15:50.000Z

PlutoIsBlack commented 5 years ago

Answer 39 · 2019-07-20T02:27:04.000Z

Well, I suggest you find nearby friend who can figure out the meaning of error.log. The error.log is telling couple of other errors too . Anyway, thank you for your interest of WALB project.

Answer 40 · 2019-07-20T02:28:34.000Z

Thanks for all the help

Answer 41 · 2019-07-20T02:32:55.000Z

one last thing can you show me a picture of LatLon.txt I would like to see how the data is presented in the file

Answer 42 · 2019-07-20T02:37:30.000Z

I will post again if something I came up with.

Answer 43 · 2019-07-20T02:44:17.000Z

LatLon.txx is one line simple TEXT file something like below.
45.79737,130.44659,100

Answer 44 · 2019-07-20T02:47:25.000Z

LatLon.txt is updating successfully now Thank You so much

Answer 45 · 2019-07-20T02:48:41.000Z

now which gps-sim-sdr should I run gps-sdr-sim or gps-sdr-sim_x64

Answer 46 · 2019-07-20T03:02:45.000Z

gps-sim-sdr is for raspberry Pi, gps-sdr-sim_x64 is for intel x64 processor.

Answer 47 · 2019-07-20T03:34:56.000Z

In the video when you run it gps-sdr-sim it says interactive mode but when I do it, it says static mode

Answer 48 · 2019-07-20T03:39:27.000Z

and also how do you start compiling and transmission simultaneously

Answer 49 · 2019-07-20T03:50:29.000Z

Naming has history. Is been more than 3 years from initial post. I added interactive function on static location mode of original gps-sdr-sim. I don't understand your question "how do you start compiling and transmission simultaneously" .

Answer 50 · 2019-07-20T08:13:07.000Z

or are you transmitting it through GNURadio?

Answer 51 · 2019-07-20T09:10:37.000Z

When I use the file LatLong.txt to get latitude longitude it doesn't pick them from there rather it just sends 0.00000,0.0000

Answer 52 · 2019-07-20T23:34:15.000Z

can you please tell me why this would happen?

Answer 53 · 2019-07-21T00:21:41.000Z

Sorry, I have no idea.

Answer 54 · 2019-07-21T20:47:04.000Z

for transmission instead of hackrf_transfer are you transferring fifo.bin from GNU Radio??

Answer 55 · 2019-07-22T00:00:49.000Z

I don't use GNU Radio in this project. When you click SimStart button on Web screen, script start2.php is triggered which start hackrf_transfer , gps-sdr-sim and so on.
