Using the SFE_Surveyor_settings file

SPARK-X

I need to enable the VTG and ZDA NMEA messages to use the RTK Surveyor with my Auto Steer John Deere tractors.

Would:

outputSentenceVTG=1

outputSentenceZDA=1

work or maybe:

settings.outputSentenceVTG=1

settings.outputSentenceZDA=1

added to the file work?

I think you’re limited to the options that are already on the config file but you might be able to manually enable those messages on the GPS module by using ucenter.

I don’t know if the firmware in the surveyor will overwrite them, but it’s worth a try. Be careful, you can brick the GPS module if you change the wrong settings in ucenter.

I was able to use U-Center to enable the The NMEA messages I needed and the ESP32 module did not overwrite my config.

Glad that worked!
