Hello !
storing the car for winter, put some improvement for measurement / timing on todos list till next season.
Think it would be great to access the fast progressing GPS tech from UBlox.
NEOs:
M8N 3 concurrent up to 10Hz
M8U 3 concurrent up to 30Hz UDR Solution
Latest:
M9N 4 concurrent up to 25Hz
Future to come might be ? :
M9U ???
Regularly available integrated with power and usb …. From e.g. Drotek:
https://store-drotek.com/917-DP0801.html
Had a M8N Drotek Module on hand and tried the following szenarios:
Szenario 1:
Connecting via usb cable OTG to Samsung Tablet
Result 1:
got access for test/configuration with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nter&hl=en
Szenario 2:
connected a HC05 clone from ebay to RX ,TX, VCC,GND of the Drotek Module (swap RX and TX and ignored 3,3V 5V mismatch as always )
powered the Drotek Module (and so HC05) via micro USB
searched and installed Bluetooth Device HC-05 on Samsung Tablet
Result 1:
got access for test/configuration with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... nter&hl=en
(configuration would be also possible in ublox pc tool....)
Result 2:
“set it to 10Hz” with this App:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... tter&hl=en
Result 3:
got access with different GPS Test Apps by choosing external GPS Bluetooth Device HC-05.
For HarrysLT:

Think its worthwhile because it gives a good solution at low cost and has potential to improve in future with low effort for adoption.
ordered a M9N Module and will post an Update when its arrived and running.
Regards

Hi Archibald
with a little bit more effort you could add an esp32 or similar device to control and change the GPS configuration directly.
For example in [https://github.com/renatobo/bonogps] I use an ESP32 to provide a page to configure the GPS settings and BLE/BTSPP/TCP-IP connectivity.
TCP-IP connectivity is very helpful to interface ublox's center while running the GPS with your instance of HLT to see real time changes.
Cheers
