Gps_dbus on Venus GS device

Greetings,

I am trying to redirect GPS data from a GPS device on my network (a Peplink router) to provide GPS location information to my Venus GX device, using socat and gps_dbus.

I doesn’t appear that gps_dbus is available on my device running 3.53 - Am i missing something? Do I need to do something to enable it? Is there a version of the OS that includes dps_dbus?

Thanks in advance.

I have done the same with a gl-inet router using gpsd and socat on the router, and install socat on the cerbo. Once you setup socat on the cerbo the following should get the gps up and running on the cerbo

/opt/victronenergy/gps-dbus/gps_dbus -s /dev/ttyGPS0 -b 115200 -t 0 &

Thanks Derrick. However, that’s the issue - I’m using a Venus GX, the predecessor to the Cerbo, and gps_dbus doesn’t seem to be installed on the Venus firmware.

If I look for gps_dbus using which gps_dbus , there no return.

I think I have everything setup and running properly but not getting a NMEA GPS device.
