I have purchased a Starnote starter kit as well as the wifi + cellular notecard but have been having issues getting the Starnote GPS to work. When I use {"req":"card.status"} there is no field saying "gps": true and {"req":"card.location"} only returns information about the mode, nothing about the …

Sorry for taking so long to respond, it has been snowing like crazy the past few days so I haven’t had a good chance to go outside and test. Here is the version I am using: "version": "notecard-s3-8.1.3" Here is a picture of my notecard setup: [20250210_175043013_iOS] When I had said that…

No worries, and thanks for braving the cold to test this out. From your pictures it looks like your setup for the Starnote + Notecard WiFi is correct, so it’s weird that you’re not getting a location back from Starnote. I’ll set mine up tomorrow and see if I can recreate your problem. It’s cold he…

Hey @aaltieri , I think I might know what the problem is. The Notecard WiFi has its card.location.mode set to "mode":"off" by default (because it has no GPS/GNSS module on it). Therefore, for your Notecard to try to get a location from Starnote you must change its card.location.mode to "mode":"peri…

The location is currently set to mode: continuous. I was using mode: continuous when I was outside with the notecard powered through USB and mode: periodic when I was travelling around with the notecard powered through the battery, neither of which provided a GPS status. I have also tried setting i…

Hmmmm, Ok, let’s back up a little. Can you send me a list of the Notecard commands you’re running to set up your project? For my own testing I factory reset a Notecard WiFi, and then ran the following commands: {"req":"hub.set","product":"com.blues.tvantoll:test","mode":"periodic","inbound":60,"o…

Here is the configuration that I have been using with my notecard {"req":"ntn.reset"} {"req":"card.restore","delete":true} {"req":"env.default","name":"setup_script_version","text":"0.1.0"} {"req":"card.transport","method":"wifi-ntn"} {"req":"hub.set","product":"mynotehub","mode":"periodic","outbou…

Hey @aaltieri , The only thing that jumps out at me is the syntax you’re using for card.wifi is incorrect. {"req":"card.wifi","text":"_wifi"} You should use one of these instead. {"req":"card.wifi","ssid":"mynetwork","password":"mypassword"} {"req":"card.wifi", "text":"[\"mynetwork\",\"mypassword…

They are two separate Starnotes. The second one in the logs is the one that has been giving the issues. The first one I am going to do some further testing with today and make sure that one is working properly too. With the wifi, I had set a project environment variable for _wifi and my goal …

They are two separate Starnotes. The second one in the logs is the one that has been giving the issues. The first one I am going to do some further testing with today and make sure that one is working properly too. Ah! Ok sorry I missed that earlier. And that sounds like a good plan. I’m very cur…

Starnote is supposed to be acting as an external GPS module here, but since the GPS is not working as intended this fallback is logical. So, I have Starnote #1, Starnote #2, Wi-Fi #1, Wifi#2, and Cell/Wi-Fi #1 notecards with 2 Notecarrier XS’s. Both Starnotes do not return a GPS status or locati…

Troubleshooting

I had RMA’d the previous devices and they had found a faulty capacitor on one of them. I have yet to try out the new devices but I am hopeful.
