rharter Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hi all, have anyone of you an idea how I can allocate a com port to the gps receiver to install it in Autoslew? The gps receiver is automatically installed in Win 10 under "sensors" and not on a com port. Thanks! Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamaSpaceShip Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hi Ralph, You need to install GPSComplete and use GPSReverse. Some info on this site. Good luck. Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rharter Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hello Bernard, thanks for your hint! Yes it already installed a com port but unfortunately the original ASA GPS receiver is not found by GPSComplete although the ublox 6 driver is installed and the receiver is active in "sensors". Mayby I have to dive a bit deeper into the manual... ;-) Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlockwood Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hi - I had a similar problem. After installing GPScomplete and creating a new com port, Autoslew would not see the new com port. Instead, in device manager I selected the sensor and used: update driver - browse my computer for driver software - let me pick from a list of available drivers, and selected the bottom one that says USB serial device. Then the GPS showed up in the drivers under ports as "u-blox 6 GPS receiver (COM9)" If you've had a few goes at getting this to work, you may have multiple drivers installed. You can use the pnputils command in a cmd window to search out and remove all of the u-block .inf files and start again if there are more than one. I was then able to connect Autoslew to that com port, and after running the synch time to GPS command in autoslew it worked. regards, Andrew.

w0mbat Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Hi, Can someone please explain what this is about? I have an ASA GPS stick which works just fine under WIN 10 and with Autoslew. I have never heard of the software mentioned above. Why is it needed? Why don't I seem to need it? What am I missing? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldemar Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hi Ian, As far as I can see this is about a newer GPS device with UBlox 6, The original ASA GPS stick uses UBlox 5.Apparently a few tricks are needed to get it working.

andrewlockwood Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 If your gps stick driver gets 'upgraded' by Windows10, it will no longer show up as a COM port, but as a 'sensor' in the devices. If this happens Autoslew will no longer recognise it. I also have the older u-blox 5 stick, and got upgraded by stealth. Rolling the driver back has fixed the issue for now.
