I developed a GPS custom plugin to work with DriveWorks/RoadRunner. It seems the plugin can read data just fine when using the sampe_gps_logger application.

However, When I added to RoadRunner/Rig file, It seems is not getting/parsing/decoding any data.

Found this post useful:

I want to know wehere I can find additional information about the packet that needs to be return from the Plugin when it is not CAN based.

All examples uses CAN bus and I am using a socket based driver implementation

Thanks

Dear @jpvans,
It seems the plugin can read data just fine when using the sampe_gps_logger application.

Does that mean playing back GPS data recorded with a custom plugin worked? May I know the used command?

I am using a socket based driver implementation

How is the GPS connected to target?

@SivaRamaKrishnaNV

Can you advise how to record data using the custom plugin? Should I use the sample_gps_logger for this purpose?
Currently, I am using sample_gps_logger with this command:

./sample_gps_logger --driver=gps.custom --params=decoder-path=/home/jvilela/libsample_gps_plugin.so

The GPS is not connected directly to the Target (Pegasus) but gets data over a socket connection. We are trying to use this GPS /INS unit instead of Xsense which is not working great for us.
