Hello,

Yeah, it's an easy thing to say "it doesn't work", so I'll try to express my case with as much usefull information as I can !

I connect my GPS logger to my my machine, I'm using a USB hub, and I'm running windows 7 in a virtual machine.
I open the "Gps Logger Software" version 2.2.0
I click on "Start Streaming"
The software detect my device, and the button "Start Streaming" change color (as it's working)
I then open Tilt window and Roll window, by clicking on their respective icons.

I'm expecting to see something happening in those Window as I move the device in my hand (tilt and rolling), but nothing happen.
After 3,4 minute the program hang and then crash

Is there something I'm doing wrong ?
Thank you for you help !

Did you insert the µSD card? The units must have the card insereted at all time.

Hi,

No, I did not insert the uSD.

Now I formatted a uSD in fat16, and inserted it in the logger.

1) same problem with the software

2) the power led is still flashing green/red every 1sec

3) I realized that the GPS led is never flashing, I would expect it to flash red by default (no satellite found)

Any other test I can perform ?

cheers,
Nicolas

You formated it with a wrong size, please see viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1567
Why dont you use our INCLUDED µSD card?

Hi,

We formated the uSD with: "format H: /FS:FAT /V:Name /Q /A:32K", and the partition is only 1Gig
We still have the same problems.

Anything else I can try ? Is there another windows software I could try ? an older version or something ?

cheers,
Nick

No idea on that, it should work fine.
I think it would be better to simply by a 2GB µSD, then the problem is solved for sure.

Hi,

We probably have a 2Gb uSD here, I'll try to find one, otherwise I'll buy one.
I'll try this and will tell you how it goes.

cheers,
Nick

Hi,

I confirm that with a 2GB uSD already formated in fat16 (that I found in an old phone)
the LOGGER started to work without any problem.

my 2cents is, I find it strange tho that the device depend so much on the uSD, when what I just wanted to test
at first was to stream the data directly to the software.

thank you for your time !
cheers,
Nick
