Can I ask for additional information regarding the types of firmware for a GNNS modulel LG290p (LG290P/LG580P/LG680P). In the forum I come across various documents that describe various commands. Like $OPTI … or $PQTM. I have one board from sparkfun and second from aliexpres, for first I use LG290P (03) GNSS Protocol Specification GNSS Module Series.pdf for second LGXX0P高精度模组产品数据接口协议-20250401.pdf. This document show diferent comand style:
mode rover
log com1 gpgga ontime 0.1
saveconfig
Applicable products: LG680P, LG580P, LG290P
Anyone can see that in both documents the commands are radically different with an identical idea. When you turn on your software QGNSS, the serial number and version of firmware are not indicated in the lower corner of the window. Please be so kind as to explain what the second type of firmware is? Is it safe to install on the product from AliExpress tish firmware in Sparkhun Github?
Thank you for your understanding and quick response.
