Examples | #include <nmea.h> NMEA gps(GPRMC); // GPS data connection to GPRMC sentence type float d; // relative direction to destination // destination coordinates in degrees-decimal float dest_latitude = 48.858342; float dest_longitude = 2.294522; void setup() { Serial1.begin(4800); pinMode(8, OUTPUT); pinMode(9, OUTPUT); } void loop() { if (Serial1.available() > 0 ) { // read incoming character from GPS char c = Serial1.read(); // check if the character completes a valid GPS sentence if (gps.decode(c)) { // check if GPS positioning was active if (gps.gprmc_status() == 'A') { // calculate relative direction to destination d = gps.gprmc_course_to(dest_latitude, dest_longitude) - gps.gprmc_course(); if (d < 0) { d += 360; } if (d > 180) { d -= 360; } // set LEDs accordingly if (d < 5) { digitalWrite(8, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(8, LOW); } if (d > -5) { digitalWrite(9, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(9, LOW); } } } } } |
Description | Returns direction of movement in degrees. North is 0o, East is 90o, South is 180o, West is 270o. For example, if gprmc_course() returns 227.13, then you are moving roughly in South-West direction. |
