Hi i'm tryng to change the update rate of my gps tracker(neo 6m ublok) i know the byte that i need to send are 0xB5,0x62,0x06,0x08,0x06,0x00,0xC8,0x00,0x01,0x00,0x01,0x00,0xDE,0x6A
i've tried
echo -e "\xB5\x62\x06\x08\x06\x00\xC8\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\xDE\x6A" > /dev/ttyAMA0
and with the service stopped i also tryed with a program in c

but nothig change the navigation update rate of the device
all of the byte code came from the manual of the device
https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/u-blox6_ReceiverDescrProtSpec_%28GPS.G6-SW-10018%29_Public.pdf
and this
and this
https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=470763.0
EDIT:
i've tryed both of the response but none of them worked
what i have to do if i want to connect with usb instread of uart
EDIT2: i have tryed both usb to the raspberry and the pc with the u center but none of this changed the rate of the gps!! edit 3: no luck i've tryed eaven an update of the firmware but nothing it's like it dose not like changing configuration

echo "test" > /dev/serial0andcat -v < /dev/serial0i can see test so the serial is working, i've tryed trougth the u-center with network serial for controlling the gps but still the gps won't change i've retryed with bash ans the hex directly given from the u-center but still the update rate won't change, is wrong how i wrote the code in python for writing the hex? – awaska Jun 18 '20 at 15:18/dev/ttyAMA0withechois not a byte. – Ingo Jun 18 '20 at 17:40echo -e -n "\xB5\x62\x06\x01\x08\x00\xF0\x01\x01\x00\x00\x01\x01\x00\x03\x35" > /dev/serial0 echo -e -n "\xB5\x62" > /dev/serial0i read nothing from the serialcat -v < /dev/serial0but if i sendecho "test" > /dev/serial0strange stuff append, the word test is repited multiple time with incrising space – awaska Jun 18 '20 at 19:48test
