Question

Good morning everyone,

I have a question for you.

Is it possible on the RUTX50 to store the GPS position on a USB localy?

Instead of sending it to a web server ?

If so could one possibly explain to me how I do this.

Thanks in advance

Rene

Hello,

You could create a script, for example, in router’s /etc/ directory of a similar content:

#!/bin/ash
echo -e latitude: $(gpsctl -i) '\t' longitude: $(gpsctl -x) '\t' altitude $(gpsctl -a) >> /mnt/sda1/gps_data.txt

Make sure the script file is executable, with the following command:

• chmod +x /etc/some_script.sh

Then you would need to generate a crontab to execute this script according to your desired frequency.
