How to modify GPS TRIGGER TIMER?

[Suttichai]

Hi guys,

I tried to modify "configs.c" or ".config", modified CONFIG_GPS_SIM_TRIGGER_TIMER_MSEC =  from 2000 to 10000.

But the device still sends GPS data every 2 seconds instead of 10 seconds, please guide me how to change trigger timer.

Thanks,

SC

Hello, 

GPS is not available yet, as per development status. The current GPS data from the Asset Tracker application is simulated data only.

Kind regards,

Thanks Oyvind,

Yes I understand the GPS data is simulated but we should able to modify the TRIGGER_TIMER right?

Instead of send every 2 seconds, why cannot change to meet our applications to reduce power consumption (e.g. every 30 seconds).

Best regards,

Hi,

Generally, all configurations that are intended to override the default values should go into your prj.conf file for the project your working on.
So setting CONFIG_GPS_SIM_TRIGGER_TIMER_MSEC=10000 in prj.conf should help. Files such as configs.c and .config are generated by the build system based on the contents of all the configuration files in your project. Re-running the build system will overwrite any changes done manually there.

Best regards,

Jan Tore

I understand what you mean, unfortunately, the Asset Tracker is not optimized for power reduction at the moment. We are working on an improvement for the application, but I do not know when this will be available.

Kind regards,
