Flowcode Support Board

Hi Ben

There are many GPS/GNSS modules available from different manufacturers.

They are available as ready-made modules with antenna connections or as integrated circuits .

These modules can be used to determine the position and also get the speed, if the object is moving.
In addition, the exact time can also be read out.
This can also be used to assign the same time stamp to data from completely different locations
or simply to supplement the measured values with the exact time.

Would it be possible to create one or more components?

Hi Stefan
I am working with Neo8N right now.
What is the benefit of GPS SMA (instead of high speed) ?
Does it have a high precision?
Thanks

Hi Victor

The exact position is better depending on the standard and module.
However, this can also mean an expensive module.
I will only use the time signal.
This allows me to add a timestamp to my measurement signals.
My video cameras also have the same timestamp (GPS data in video).
This allows me to overlay the measurement data and video very precisely

I hope Flowcode will support a module, maybe your Neo8N?

HI. Only a time?
Why don't you use the cheap Neo 6x module?
Neo gives user a free software (u-centre).
Easy to test the module without the flowcode engine.
I do not think you need to use the flowcode component.
Neo module can receive the
$GNRMC,151227.3997,A,4723.5403567,N,00826.8867153,E,0.00000,81.6172,111022,,
where:
$GNRMC is the header.
15227.3997 - UTC time (hours, minutes and seconds)
Just drop the UART (Rs232) component in your project.
Rx the string "$GNRMC," (with the comma).
Rx string "151227.40"
Shift the 151227 left.
Convert the UTC time to your local time.
And that is it.

Hi Victor

Very good. Thanks
I suspect that works very well with a macro and FC11.
I'll try.
If it works, I'll post it here.

I can only suggest to try to filter out the UTC time without even using the gps module.
If you use the string manipulations to get the 151227 out of ($GNRMC,151227.3997,) and convert it to local time, you can do the major part.
