| USB Serial GPS Working
I finally figured out how to make the Mariner program see my GPS which was connected to the XO via a USB serial cable.
If you bring up Mariner and there is nothing in the Serial port dropdown list. Do this:
stop Mariner then create a new file:
/home/olpc/Mariner/jre/linux/lib/ext/gnu.io.rxtx.properties
and add this line:
gnu.io.rxtx.SerialPorts=/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB1:
save the file.
Restart Mariner
The above statement will tell the RXTXCommDriver.java explicity which ports to look for the GPS.
