I guess the problem is the settings do not allow two Wi-Fi devices to be configured at the same time? Not sure if the GoPro support will allow it, but I could test it I guess. Which phone do you have and which GPS?
The gopro does support multiple client surprisingly! I tested that on a Session 4. I'm doing this on a Nexus 5x with a dyi WIFI gps.
Phone connect to gopro: IP 10.5.5.100 given GPS to gopro: IP 10.5.5.20 hardcoded by me Gopro: IP 10.5.5.9 default
Racechrono just tell me that it have to disable the other connected wifi device when I active the other. Do you manage the wifi connections from your app? In my case I connect to the gopro myself from the wifi settings.
For GoPro the connection is managed, but not for the Wi-Fi GPS. To in theory this might work if it allowed the setup. But I need to test it myself before I can enable it.
I got it to work myself but the GPS data was unstable after all.
This is how,
1 - Add gopro device to racechrono 2 - Add gps device to racechrono. Say yes when it ask to turn off the gopro. 3 - Activate Gopro wifi 4 - Connect android wifi to gopro AP manually 5 - Start recording in racechrono 6 - go to camera tab then select the gopro and press record. 7 - connect wifi GPS to gopro
At 5hz the data was dropping a bit every few seconds. At 10hz it was just failing. Not sure if the gopro cpu or the data bandwith is to blame... I'll try a lower resolution and framerate.
edit: you cant record and stream the video at the same time on session 4 at 1080 and 60 fps. I'll try lower see if that work.
