Quick and easy GPS solution?

cchoi22915

Hello,

I am looking to only get GPS position data once upon boot up. I already have a state machine running and would like the GPS to be an initial state.

Is there an quick, “easy”, and succinct way to get the GPS position? I am looking at the GPS sample and it seems very complicated to integrate into my custom firmware. If not, could someone give me a little guidance as to where to start?

Thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris

I did a very quick and dirty video on some of your options. I hope it can be helpful for you.

I hope that helps. I know the GPS module/code can get hairy but it all has a purpose! Also, make sure you have a direct view to the sky otherwise you’ll get mixed results getting a fix (especially without AGPS data)
