For our application we currently use a 2nd GNSS/GPS receiver in order to get COG/SOG (in addition to the lat/longitude). Since GNSS is part of the Starnote board, how can we get the COG/SOG fields via the CLI interface?
If we can get this via a location data request we can remove our GNSS receiver from the board, saving both BOM cost, complexity and board estate.
Hi @satlog.io,
Unfortunately neither Starnote nor Notecard firmware expose the GPS’s own COG/SOG values. The closest thing you can get today is the _track.qo Note as that includes velocity in m/s and bearing in degrees…but those are calculated from the distance and time between two tracking points so they are averages (and they are only available in Notehub when you enable tracking mode).
Thanks,
Rob
Thanks Rob, that matches with what we’ve found.
Is there a technical limitation for this? Would be helpful, for now we’re combining the data on the backend, but the device would benefit from this as well.
