Instructions for Capturing Vehicle Position with VAN PI Core and USB-GPS Device

Requirements:

  • VAN PI Core with VAN PI OS as the operating system.

  • A standard USB-GPS device that supports the NMEA protocol.

  • An available USB1 port.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Prepare the VAN PI Core System:

    • Ensure that the VAN PI Core system is up and running and properly configured.

  2. Connect the GPS Device:

    • Plug the USB-GPS device into the USB1 port. It is essential to use the USB1 port to ensure the GPS device is correctly recognized.

  3. Detect the GPS Device:

    • Once the USB-GPS device is connected to USB1, VAN PI Core will automatically detect the device.

  4. Receive GPS Signal and Determine Position:

    • Wait for the GPS device to receive a signal and determine the position. This process may take a few minutes depending on the environment.

  5. Display the Position:

    • To display the current position on a map, ensure that the map feature is enabled in the system settings. Additionally, an internet connection is required for the map to function correctly.

By following these steps, you can easily and effectively capture the vehicle's position using VAN PI Core and a standard USB-GPS device.
