Hello Again,
So:
I tried U-Blox U Center. It is some nice software but it only works for
Windows. I e-mailed the company about if they have Linux versions of the
U-Blox U Center software. My thoughts were that I could use U Center
software on our Debian Stretch distro.
Also:
I found a port available on the U Center software for what I believe is my
BBGW and the Grove GPS. The only actual port that will connect is this COM
port. I run the software, Grove_GPS.py, from our given Grove software and
nothing transpires on the U Center COM port connection.
Anyway:
I am working on this idea and I may be getting further advanced in these
methods. If you get bored, let me know. Maybe we can use the U Center
software and see where it takes us.
Seth
P.S. Here is the software for the Grove_GPS.py file:
* import Adafruit_BBIO.UART as UART*
* import serial*
* import time*
* import sys*
* import struct*
* import math*
* UART.setup("UART1")*
* ser = serial.Serial(port = "/dev/ttyO1", baudrate=9600)*
* ser.flush()*
* class GPS:*
* #The GPS module used is a Grove GPS module
http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Grove-GPS-p-959.html*
* inp=[]*
* # Refer to SIM28 NMEA spec file
http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/images/a/a0/SIM28_DATA_File.zip*
* GGA=[]*
* #Read data from the GPS*
* def read(self): *
* while True:*
* GPS.inp=ser.readline()*
* if GPS.inp[:6] =='$GPGGA': # GGA data , packet 1, has all
the data we need*
* break*
* time.sleep(0.1)*
* try:*
* ind=GPS.inp.index('$GPGGA',5,len(GPS.inp)) #Sometimes
multiple GPS data packets come into the stream. Take the data only after
the last '$GPGGA' is seen*
* GPS.inp=GPS.inp[ind:]*
* except ValueError:*
* print ""*
* GPS.GGA=GPS.inp.split(",") #Split the stream into
individual parts*
* return [GPS.GGA]*
* #Split the data into individual elements*
* def vals(self):*
* time=GPS.GGA[1]*
* lat=GPS.GGA[2]*
* lat_ns=GPS.GGA[3]*
* long=GPS.GGA[4]*
* long_ew=GPS.GGA[5]*
* fix=GPS.GGA[6]*
* sats=GPS.GGA[7]*
* alt=GPS.GGA[9]*
* return [time,fix,sats,alt,lat,lat_ns,long,long_ew]*
* g=GPS()*
* f=open("gps_data.csv",'w') #Open file to log the data*
* f.write("name,latitude,longitude\n") #Write the header to the top
of the file*
* ind=0*
* while True:*
* try:*
* x=g.read() #Read from GPS*
* [t,fix,sats,alt,lat,lat_ns,long,long_ew]=g.vals() #Get the
individial values*
* print "Time:",t,"Fix status:",fix,"Sats in
view:",sats,"Altitude",alt,"Lat:",lat,lat_ns,"Long:",long,long_ew*
*
#s=str(t)+","+str(float(lat)/100)+","+str(float(long)/100)+"\n"*
* #f.write(s) #Save to file*
* time.sleep(2)*
* except IndexError:*
* print "Unable to read"*
