Hi Pete:
The SiGe receiver IC is not much use by itself since you need to
literally be a rocket scientist in order to process its output data.
The GPS1A, with open source software is interesting, but again you need
to be a rocket scientist to modify the code.
I haven't launched or made any part (to the best of my knowledge) of any
rocket. Yet again I've been able to write software which can
post-process the data originating from this device.
Real time processing of it would be challenging, but I haven't spent
quality time on THAT problem.
real time processing of *anything* is challenging, even if it's only
updating once an hour. I write this because updating once an hour
implies you are probably looking at data spanning months, and keeping a
program or set of programs reliably running without a hiccup for months
is non-trivial. Sure, we've all got anecdotes of "my machine only
needed to be rebooted 6 months ago", but there's a difference between
seeing that in the past, and guaranteeing it for the future.
