gpsd cycle time

[Vinayaka Negalur]

Hello,

I am trying to capture the gps data from ublox M8 sensor at a faster rate (500ms). Default this is set to 1s. the data sheet from ublox M8 tells that it supports faster (lesser than 1s) cycle rate.

When i use gpsctl -c 500, I see below output.

But the data from sensor is not received at the same frequency. Can you please help if I am supposed to configure something else to read the value.

Currently I am using print statements to validate the timing. Is there a better way to validate the timing?
