[review] Sparc systems gps data logger gdl-3204
by Kenneth Gonsalves 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi, I recently got hold of the latest prototype of the above data logger that is being manufactured by a Mumbai firm. In looks it is an unimpressive rectangular box without a display. It is meant purely for logging trackpoints and waypoints. It claims to be 32 channel and has 4 MB RAM. It has 1. power/lo battery LED 2. Satellite LED - glows red on satellite acquisition 3. Computer/Memory full LED 4. Waypoint LED 1. Power button 2. Computer button 3. Waypoint button It runs on a Nokia cell phone battery and can be charged with a standard nokia charger. There is a serial port and a screw to attach an antenna. The antenna comes with a 3 metre cable and has a powerful magnet. A serial cable is provided with two outlets - one for downloading the GPS data and the other for direct instrument to computer reading. The cable also has a bell-push for recording waypoints. Usage: in a car, stick the antenna on the roof, the instrument inside and tape the way point bellpush to the steering wheel - similar arrangement for a bike. Walking, keep the unit in a pocket, the antenna in a shirt pocket and the waypoint bell push in your hand. Getting data: Connect to a PC using a serial-usb cable. Type cat /dev/ttyUSB0 > filename.txt, and the data is transferred. It can be converted to gpx format using: http://nrcfosshelpline.in/confman/browser/branches/sparc2gpx/ sparc2gpx.py Accuracy: Much better than my old garmin 72. I had walked around on the footways of a park with the device this morning in heavily overcast conditions with heavy tree cover - the paths marked here are without tweaking - just join-the-dots: http://openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=16.6938&lon=74.4613&zoom=18 Incidentaly the device also has the logo of FSF India on the top, so I suppose this signifies that everything in the device is free software. The device is not in production yet, but I am reviewing it because I feel that efforts like this need to be encouraged - very good job of adapting a device for the use of the enthusisastic mapper. caveat: I am not an employee of sparc systems nor do I get commission from them. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon(a)au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/

Most linux installers hang up without any error message I have tried the noapic and nolapic options in boot parameters with Ubuntu The BIOS is a Phoenix BIOS, but SIW reports it as COMPAL BIOS at present, it has windows installed in it and working fine Regards Surya Pratap -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers At what stage of booting does it hang? Also what is on the screen when it hangs? Try a Ubuntu Live CD (Pref Hardy) and boot in the verbose mode. Can you tell us at what stage the verbose mode hangs ? Regards, Sameep

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Cent OS live cd not booting
by Sameep 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

actually i got my answer. yes it does require a server like VNC-server or any remote desktop server. Actually if you use CentOS [or any other distro for that matter] , it will automate the remote desktop access feature for you. The CentOS remote desktop app is quite configurable as well. You can use the link for more info : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/rhd-dg-en-4/ch-ddg-remote-deskt… Regards, Sameep

but one more thing. how do i get a remote desk top. do i need to install a VNC in server also? to get this. if yes then is it possible to get a remote desktop without installing any thing to server? I cant really understand your question. However from what I understand, you want to find out whether the remote computer you are trying to connect from needs any additional software. [ Please correct me if I am wrong ]. Using a package called vnc-java , You can access your computer from any location that has a Java -enabled web browser. You can google for instructions , or mail me if you have any difficulties. Regards, Sameep
