GC linux + Joule GPS

[Sergei Posokhov]

Hello,

I compiled GC from the git repo on Mint.

I have the CycleOps Joule2 GPS:

[298822.217374] usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 36 using xhci_hcd

[298822.240364] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6001

[298822.813196] usb 3-2: Setting MaxPacketSize 64

[298822.813764] usb 3-2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB1

I changed the permissions on /dev/ttyUSB1 so the current user can read and write.

I try to download the data from the unit and get this:

getting summary ...

getting data ...

Get Unit Software Version...

Download failed

It says "read timeout"

I then recompile with DEBUG, but launching with --debug produces no data in goldencheetah.log:

drwxr-xr-x 12 sergei sergei 4096 Dec  3 16:09 Sergei

I also tried the D2XX support (even though I don't think it was necessary), but that didn't work either.

Any idea how I can get it to work?

Thanks,

Sergei

Hi Sergei:

I ran into the same problem when I compiled GC on two different machines - one running Ubuntu Precise and the other Debian Wheezy. You can read the solutions offered on the golden-cheetah-developers group:

Unfortunately, I did not find a workable solution to the problem. I recently compiled the GC master on a mac running Yosemite and ran into similar issue - the screenshots as follows:

Thanks!

Without digging too much in the code, any idea how to enable logging?

Sorry...I do not know.

Hi Sergei,

Have you been able to resolve this? I'm having the same issue on a fresh Fedora 22 installation and latest GC. I haven't installed any D2XXX, I think it's not needed. CycleOps is recognized but I get the timeout message. I'm now experimenting with the modem manager and see if I can blacklist the PID of the device but still no luck.
