This can be done with a cold reboot. Use;

echo -e -n "\xb5\x62\x06\x04\x04\x00\xff\xff\x02\x00\x0e\x61" > /dev/serial0

The HDOP value can be used to determine the accuracy of the GPS position.  Lower is better.

The HDOP can be seen when using gpsmon. The image below has HDOP highlighted;
The HDOP can also be found in the GSA sentence.  Below it is shown as 1.3;

$GPGSA,A,3,04,05,,09,12,,,24,,,,,2.5,1.3,2.1*39

A HDOP value of 1 or below would give you an accuracy of about 2.5m.

See here for more information.

The NMEA sentence update rate can be increased to 10Hz(10 times a second). The default is 1Hz (Once a second).

When increasing the update rate, you will also need to increase the baud rate.

To change the baud rate to 115200;

echo -e -n "\xB5\x62\x06\x00\x14\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\xD0\x08\x00\x00\x00\xC2\x01\x00\x07\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xC0\x7E" > /dev/serial0

If you need to update the speed on the Raspberry Pi serial port, you can use;

stty -F /dev/serial0 115200

To increase update rate to 2Hz;

echo -e -n "\xB5\x62\x06\x08\x06\x00\xF4\x01\x01\x00\x01\x00\x0B\x77" > /dev/serial0

To increase update rate to 5Hz;

echo -e "\xB5\x62\x06\x08\x06\x00\xC8\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\xDE\x6A" > /dev/serial0

To increase update rate to 10Hz;

echo -e "\xB5\x62\x06\x08\x06\x00\x64\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x7A\x12" > /dev/serial0

In uCenter, the setting can be found under UBX -> CFG -> RATE

The UBX protocol is documented here.

If you see this message in the output from the GPS;

This is the GPS telling you that it is receiving data on the serial port, but it doesn’t recognize it.

The cause is most likely due to echo being enabled on the Raspberry Pi serial port.

Echo can be disabled with;

The GPS module can be put to sleep by sending a UBX command to the GPS module.

To put it to sleep;

echo -e -n "\xB5\x62\x06\x57\x08\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x50\x4F\x54\x53\xAC\x85" > /dev/serial0

To wake it up;

echo -e -n "\xB5\x62\x06\x57\x08\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x20\x4E\x55\x52\x7B\xC3" > /dev/serial0

The UBX protocol is documented here.

The ZDA sentence is a good sentence to use to get the date and time.

It can be enabled by sending a UBX command to the GPS module;

echo -e -n "\xB5\x62\x06\x01\x08\x00\xF0\x08\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x08\x60" > /dev/serial0

Below is where it can be found in uCenter.UBX->CFG->MSG

The baud rate can be changed by sending a UBX command to the

GPS module.
To change the baud rate to 115200;

echo -e -n "\xB5\x62\x06\x00\x14\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\xD0\x08\x00\x00\x00\xC2\x01\x00\x07\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xC0\x7E" > /dev/serial0

If you need to update the speed on the Raspberry Pi serial port, you can use;

stty -F /dev/serial0 115200

To change back to 9600;

echo -e -n "\xB5\x62\x06\x00\x14\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\xD0\x08\x00\x00\x80\x25\x00\x00\x07\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xA2\xB5" > /dev/serial0
