RASPBERRY PI – GlobalSat BU-353S4 GPS Installation

This is how we were able to install and run the GlobalSat BU-353 GPS module on our Raspberry Pi

From the command prompt, type:

sudo bash

apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps

nano /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug

Scroll down the document and add
chmod a+rw $DEVNAME
above the line that says
gpsdctl $ACTION $DEVNAME

Press CTRL and O together to save

Press CTRL and X together to exit the file

/etc/init.d/gpsd restart

gpsd /dev/ttyUSB0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock

cgps -s

You will now see the GPS output
