I am following this tutorial to get latitude and longitude data using
NEO6 GPS module and Py PICO to read the GPS data from the device.
I followed the code specified in this tutorial.
https://microcontrollerslab.com/neo-6m-gps-module-raspberry-pi-pico-micropython/
I have installed thony IDE in my Desktop(windows PC) and run the code
after the devices all connected and using USB cable connected to my PC.
When I ran the program I am able to see the output of latitude and
longitude in the console of thony IDE. But between certain intervals of a
few seconds I am getting the latitude and longitude data ( its printing
GPS data not found ?? ) in the python console.
The satellite count from the $GGPA output showing 03 ..
and the GPS data not found repeating randomly for intervals of seconds.
Any hints why it is missing the GPS data (randomly) ??
PS:- The GPS device I placed outside my window and connected to the PC
with a USB cable from the PICO module. GPS device NEO6 light (Red LED
) blinking even though the " GPS data not found" messages in th python
console.
Any hints ?? most welcome
Yours,
Krishane
From a retired broadcast engineer, intimately familiar with vswr:
std, wire only usb cables can get to acting flaky at 5 feet. If the
cable to the receiver is more than that, a higher quality cable may be
required. The better cable will probably have active electronics in the
molded on ends that treats the cable as a transmission line,
Which if done right can go as much as ten meters at usb2 speeds.
