[Hardware-pm] [dcpm] Net::GPSD3 issue

[Zachary Zebrowski]

Hi Mike,

Ah ok...  that makes sense...  It might be a change in the gpsd protocol
from the time you wrote it.... Plus, I can't have the "always run" flag
set, because of the specific model of the gps requires a different baud
rate than the default for the port, and gpsd runs before I manually set the
baud rate.  I was just running the sample code provided with the module.
 This is the error I'm getting from the default sample code:

pi at raspberrypi ~ $ perl perl-Net-GPSD3-poll.pl
Net::GPSD3:    0.19
GPSD Release:  3.6
Protocol:      3.7
Can't call method "reported" on an undefined value at
perl-Net-GPSD3-poll.pl line 23, <GEN0> line 3.

I'm using this gps: http://amzn.com/B003WNHGAO which communicates at 4800
baud on /dev/ttyUSB0.

I do have separate (non gpsd code) that works by directly reading and
parsing the NEMA data, which, for this case, I will use instead for now
(which still uses perl).

Thanks for your input! :-)
Zak
