Dual xgps 160 and obdlink MX wifi

Post by *xsmbx* »

Hi,
I have been having some trouble with my Dual xgps 160 and obdlink MX wifi. I am able to connect each device independently but when both are connected the xgps 160 will disconnect after ~5 seconds, show as available and the (pi)-GNSS GNSS gps sensor shows as connected. Both the gps and obd update rates are highlighted red in status.
I'm not sure what other information is relevant to troubleshooting but will be happy to provide on request.

My set up is:
iphone 6s
iOS 9.3.2
HLT Grand Prix 20.0.14

Hi,

In case the PiGNSS is shown as connected, LapTimer finds a device 192.168.2.1 with open port 2947... This mean, LapTimer is connected to a local network using IP addresses starting with 192.168.2.x. The OBDLink MX creates a network with IP addresses 192.168.0.x usually, with IP 192.168.0.10 and port 35000 itself. So this looks like an "unsorted" environment with some disturbing sources around.

I'd suggest to narrow down the issue in a less WiFi polluted area. :-) iPhones tend to switch between WiFis, so the OBDLink has probably been disconnected when the problem occurred and you where connected to your home network instead? This in turn may have let the "PiGNSS" get precedence above the XGPS and LapTimer disconnected it.
