I'm doing a project with a Ublox NEO 6m gps and a Raspberry Pi 4 model B and I'm stuck on the following error:
File "gps3.py", line 23, in <module>
newdata=ser.readline()
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 509, in read
raise SerialException('read failed: {}'.format(e))
serial.serialutil.SerialException: read failed: device reports readiness to read but returned no data (device disconnected or multiple access on port?)
^CException ignored in: <module 'threading' from '/usr/lib/python3.7/threading.py'>
I found a lot of similar question but I haven't found a good answer yet. This is my Python code:
import time
import string
import pynmea2
from pubnub.pnconfiguration import PNConfiguration
from pubnub.pubnub import PubNub
from pubnub.exceptions import PubNubException
pnChannel = "raspi-tracker";
pnconfig = PNConfiguration()
pnconfig.ssl = False
pubnub = PubNub(pnconfig)
pubnub.subscribe().channels(pnChannel).execute()
while True:
port="/dev/ttyAMA0"
ser=serial.Serial(port, baudrate=9600, timeout=0.5)
dataout = pynmea2.NMEAStreamReader()
newdata=ser.readline()
if newdata[0:6] == "$GPRMC":
newmsg=pynmea2.parse(newdata)
lat=newmsg.latitude
lng=newmsg.longitude
try:
envelope = pubnub.publish().channel(pnChannel).message({
'lat':lat,
'lng':lng
}).sync()
print("publish timetoken: %d" % envelope.result.timetoken)
except PubNubException as e:
handle_exception(e)
I don't know if this is relevant information but I connected my Pi through WiFi.
I'm assuming this is due to your code re-initializing the connection each loop. I recommend trying the following code instead --
port = "/dev/ttyAMA0"
ser = serial.Serial(port, baudrate=9600, timeout=0.5)
while True:
newdata = ser.readline()
if newdata[0:6] == "$GPRMC":
# rest of your code
