    I forgot to login,

    So i get this error when i run the node. I ran wireshark and see data getting sent to the same ip address and port.

    Can you suggest what I should do, to solve the problem?

    Thanks

    The ip address and interface parameters are optional. Without them, it will listen for packets from all address on all interfaces. Also, I think binding to an interface like eth0 requires higher privileges, which might have caused the 'failed to open socket' error.

    If you successfully get this driver going, can you post your model number here? I only have access to a RT3000v2, and it would be nice to know what OXTS sensors have been tested with this driver.

    hi Kevin,

    thanks a lot.. now i'm connected to the OXTS sensor and get a message saying connected to RT3003v2 (It works for this sensor!!)

    but when I view the topics I don't get any data (even the imu data, which i can see using the NAVgraph application from OXTS ).

    From the FAQ on the front page of this driver:

    I see Connected to Oxford GPS at <ip_address>:3000, but no messages are published.
    Invalid data is not published. Move faster than 5 m/s to initialize the sensor.
