What
Configure serial L76K receivers for GPS + BeiDou + GLONASS during their location
provider start sequence, after the receiver reset step.
The implementation is guarded by the existing
GPS_L76Kboard marker. It waits250 ms after reset, sends the documented
PCAS04,7command throughMicroNMEA::sendSentence()(which generates the checksum and terminators), thenwaits another 250 ms before normal processing continues.
Why
The ThinkNode M6 already identifies its receiver with
GPS_L76K, but MeshCoredoes not currently configure its constellation mode. The L76K defaults to GPS +
BeiDou; PCAS04 mode 7 also enables GLONASS and can provide additional satellite
margin.
This is not claimed as a proven fix for an intermittent
0 satsstate. It is asmall, documented initialization improvement that can be tested independently.
Scope
GPS_L76K(currently ThinkNode M6, Heltec TowerV2, Nano G2 Ultra and ThinkNode M9);
reset(), becauseEnvironmentSensorManagercalls
begin()followed immediately byreset();The impact of enabling the additional constellation on receiver power consumption
has not yet been measured.
Source
Quectel L76K GNSS Protocol Specification V1.1, PCAS04 section. Mode 7 is
GPS + BeiDou + GLONASS. QZSS is enabled independently by the receiver.
