@AppLee ok, im trying to set this up using the terminal interface on the phone,
and yes, I do want to learn to use adb, but i havent learned how to use it yet.
on the terminal of the phone typing sudo android-gadget-service enable ssh
yields command not found
I have a Pine Phone, brave heart, I want to read the sensors, GPS position in particular. Is there a device In /dev I should look at?
ran locate and found an application /usr/bin/test_android_gps_api
it returns:
Usage: test_gps supl_server supl_server_port lat lon accuracy
so then i did $man test_android_gps_api
and got a message about manpages not being installed.
I installed manpages, but this utility isnt in there.
so then I though ok, whats this output telling me?
#test_gps
-bash: test_gps: command not found
I tried -h and --help. but there was none. How can i get the gps position?
command-line solutions preferred.
I just got my PinePhone Today, and installed Ubuntu Touch!
so in that regard I'm a newb. Ive been running and programing in linux for about 15 years, but I'm sure most of what I write a horrible hack. I'm an electrician, I mess with lasers, leather, electronics, ancient traditional art forms, steam Punk, and just make random stuff. I can hardly wait to make my pine phone do novel things, but I'm just figuring out where everything is, and how its all set up.
I am setting up some Events at HOPE this year (2020) in NYC, in conjunction with the Maine hacker Club, and the Bangor Makerspace. We'll have an electronics instrumentation lab, Retro computing exhibit with special tribute to Chuck Peedle, and a Laser Cutting workshop. I'm really excited for all that. I'm encouraging all the hackers i know to go. I would love to meet some of ya'll as well!
