GPS Module - GuangDuang/ECE387-Final GitHub Wiki

What I did first is my GPS module. This will achieve my basic function of my project.

I look at this tutorial to first est up my GPS module. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgOZLgaLa0g

I use <SoftwareSerial.h> create a serial communication object that use two digital Pin. The GPS module have build in code that can connect to the satellite by send impulse. After it connect to the satellite, the led will flash and continue send data through serial communication. It may take more than 10 minutes to connect to satellite if it disconnect.

A problem find is it I can not revive data after led flash. I look through library. I finally find the problem is I thought RX need to connect to RX and TX to TX. Actually RX need to connect to TX.

After I solve this, I begin to deal with data.The sample code deal with a part of data that trans latitude and longitude to readable data. I do more job to find distance and average speed. I also calculate the local time for my time & temperature.

This part will be used in Running and Monitoring function.
