Mates,
Sorry for the beginner type question.
I purchased one of the above units. It appears to be working fine, though in my application, I need NMEA data, and not GLONASS, which I believe is what it is outputting at the moment. I have the unit connected to my Mint Linux box. I RTFM and found the various commands for the unit, but I am a newb, and have no idea how to actually send the commands to the unit. I assume I can use terminal, but past that, I am unsure. Can anyone help? Do I need to address the unit specifically, by IP or device location (ttyUSB0). Do I need to use any particular app to send the commands? I also note that the commands need both <CR><LF>. How do I send those as well?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Michael

Michael,
You probably could use screen or minicom on your Mint Linux box to talk to the GPS. We provide code examples for sending the NMEA commands using Python.
