After so many wasted hours with the Wink Hub, I really thought the Hue bridge would be create a more reliable, stable environment. Now that I have been using the Hue.

Hi,

I ve successfully been using a licensed copy of GPSDirect on my Windows 8 tablet for a month or so with both a stand-alone BT GPS device Holux GPSlim 236 and an android phone running Bluetooth GPS Output, but I ve now upgraded the tablet to 32-bit Windows 10 and I now get the error Cannot open this COM port. when I try to install the driver for any of the the SPP COM ports.

I ve tested the output of the COM ports using the Win10 app Bluetooth Serial Terminal https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/bluetooth-serial-terminal/9wzdncrdfst8 and in both cases this shows the raw NMEA output so it looks like the SPP port is correctly set up and data is being received from the device but that for some reason the GPSDirect driver can t install.

Note I m seeing a very similar problem connecting to the SPP COM ports using putty, which is which I ve been using for COM port testing since windows XP, so this appears that it may be related to a shift in how COM ports are referenced in Windows 10.

Give me a few days, I will check when back from vacation.

That great, thanks a lot for that.

And if I can provide any further information once you are able to look into this, please let me know.

Same problen here on W10/64.

Was ok on W8.1/64.

Can you define me the com parameters you use to open the port.

Hi,

I ve just retested and the com port settings I m using are COM8 which is the Outbound SPP Slave for the connection to the phone running Bluetooth GPS Output and I ve tried all the baud rate settings for 1200 to 38400 on Windows 8 it worked with 9600 - in all cases I get Cannot open this COM port.

As a test I ve tried connecting to COM9 which is the Incoming port on the same phone and that allows me to install the driver without any errors, but no data appears to be transmitted as you d expect and I ve also tried installing the driver using Simulation and that works exactly as you d expect as well.

I ve made some tests with various systems, it seems that some COM ports are not as compatible as others, in bluetooth mode.

I ll make a driver that communicates DIRECTLY with bluetooth instead of using a COM port soon.

Try the new driver

Don t forget to uninstall any previous driver from the device manager, including delete software from this device option.

I ve been testing with GPSComplete and I haven t had much sucess so far.

For testing I ve used a Holus GPSlim 236 Bluetooth GPS Output Paid on both a OnePlus One and nVidia Shield Tablet all connecting via Bluetooth.

BT connections are all set up as expected with incomming and outgoing serial port set up for each device. I ve also tested each connection with Bluetooth Serial Terminal windows store app and in each case I can see the NMEA output being spooled.

When running GPSComplete I ve tried installing the Sensor Driver using connections to both to the dedicated BT port shown in the list and also to the outgoing SPP com port for each device. In all cases I get the message Installation successful. You may now try the Sensor Explorer to test the sensor. and switching Sensor Explorer on I see GPSDirect Sensor listed, but I don t see any sign of any data being receieved by the sensor - see screenshot.

Similarly I don t see any report of a device connected in Bluetooth GPS Output and there s no indication of GPS data being received in any Windows Apps.

I ve also tried installing the driver using the simulation option and when that s installed I do see position data in the Sensor Explorer screen and I can see the dummy position data in apps.

I ve also tried connecting to the Windows 7 GPS Sharing app running on the OnePlus One. In this case when I install the driver on Windows 10 I see an Active client listed in the Windows 7 GPS Sharing app but again no meaningful output is show in the Sensor Explorer and there is no GPS input shown in apps.

Are there any additional tests I can try.

Cheers

Is the GPSDirect sensor enabled.

Were you asked whether to enable it or not when you clicked on it in the Sensor Explorer.

One more test.

1. Uninstall the driver from the devmgmt.msc, also deleting the software.

2. Update gpscomplete64.exe there is an update now

3. Reinstall the driver using baud 0.

4. Make sure that the driver is enabled and not access denied or disabled.

HI,

sorry for the delay replying it s been an interesting weekend which resulted in needing to reinstall this win10 tablet from scratch.

That s now done however and I ve tried the latest version I can see of GPSComplete.

Unfortunately I m still having no luck with it. I ve made sure that there were no old drivers in the Sensor section of Device Manager, then reinstalled using Baud 0 but I m still seeing no data being passed over and the new state field just says Initializing.

Sorry about this.

That s a very interesting read especially the suggestion that there might be some kind of fix to the serial support in the Win10 BT stack on the way.

Thanks for that.

The new driver can directly open a bluetooth device, no COM port is necessary.

Did you try that.

Using any of the COM ports or the Bluetooth, results in GPSComplete not passing any gps data across.

Creating a WiFi Hotspot on my phone which the Tablet connects to, works.  But is a pain to get completely working correctly sometimes need to re-install drivers on the test version is this issue resolved if i purchase the software.

my setup is different from the OP, im using Win10 x64 on Surace Pro 3, and using a Nexus 5

No, everything should work with the evaluation version. Purchasing it won t change the functionality.

I m taking a look.

hmm so maybe i was doing something wrong before, but the WiFi is working now, by just launching everything in sequence.

However, BT is still not working.

Any way i can get you some logs.

that is the BT GPS app that im using on the phone.
