=========

This script reads NMEA Strings from an USB-Serial GPS Dongle,

and writes the position data into the ``/etc/config/gluon-node-info`` file.

It is intended to run directly on a Freifunk Router, running `Gluon `_ Firmware and has an USB Socket.

Initial version was written using a Navilock NL-601US.

* `lua uci reference `_

installation

------------

You need drivers for your USB-Serial GPS Dongle.

Check ``ls /dev/`` for any ``ttyUSB*`` device, try ``dmesg`` and ``logread``

to find any signs of your hardware.

Install via ``opkg``::

    opkg update

    opkg install kmod-usb-acm

Use the ``copy_run.sh`` script to copy, and then run your scripts on a node.
