Moitessier HAT firmware update failed after update to OpenPlotter 1.2

[MilesAhead]

ok those on spi are gps
did you do the setup, start in tools "Moitessier HAT"  on openplotter ?
that's about all i can help you with, i dont have a hat so have never set one up, to be honest today is the first time i have even looked at the tools & setup.

Thx for the help Jim, much appreciated. Yes, I went through all the config pages for the Moitessier HAT in the V1.x.x OpenPlotter docs. 

I think it is more of an issue at the Raspbian level, but I am far from an expert. I'm using an RPi 3b+ and there is a whole host of info on the internet about getting GPSD to work correctly with GPS USB pucks. And when I look at my /etc/default/gpsd it looks like the daemon isn't even started.

• START_DAEMON="false"
  
• USBAUTO="false"
  
• DEVICES=""
  
• GPSD_OPTIONS="-n -b"
  

But the Moitessier HAT isn't a USB puck, so I'm not sure how to set this correctly. When I try to start GPSD manually I get an error because I'm not specifying the device, but I do not know what device name to use. I can't run lsusb to find the device name because the HAT doesn't use a USB puck.

When I run 

• cat /dev/moitessier.tty
  
• cat /dev/moitessier.spi
  

I get output for both, but the GSA and GLL messages do not contain any lat/lon info.

There are no instructions on either the OP or Moitessier web sites on how to set this up. Frustrating!!

Any thoughts?
