  • Hello,

    Bangl.js uses UBlox UBX-M8130.
    Which GNSS receiver is in Bangle2.js and please share a link to GNSS receiver documentation

    Thank you in advance for your huge help,

    GPS/Glonass receiver (AT6558)

  • Who makes AT6558 and whereto find documentation with raw GNSS commands?

  • see links in this page https://docs.m5stack.com/en/unit/gps
    there is the datasheet and commands are in another document "CASIC Multimode satellite navigation receiver protocol specification", google can translate pdf from Chinese to English quite well.

    Also manufacturer has agps example on their web (when it works, now it doesn't for me)

    same chip is in B5 fitness tracker , I tested few commands listed here

    when the tracker arrived it had only gps and bds enabled, there is PCAS04 command to enable any combination of gps,glonass,bds and enabling glonass worked.

    except setting refresh via PCAS02 I did not find any command to put it into some power saving mode as mentioned briefly in datasheet.

  • Thank you very much for your response.

    'when it works, now it doesn't for me'

    Was able to perform the translate at 09:54 CST which produces a 2M pdf in seconds.

    'google can translate pdf from Chinese to English quite well'

    As this is a MAX2659 Maxim chip, wouldn't it be more likely that the content listed on the web is an initial translation from English to their language?

  • this is a MAX2659 Maxim chip

    I linked that page because of AT6558 datasheet, I guess MAX2659 is not used in Bangle 2
