This is a GPS module test sketch for Arduino based on a LCD1602 shield. You can either save it to local INO file and build width Arduino IDE (TinyGPS library is required). You can also compile it online into a HEX file and upload to Arduino with AVRDUDE or other uploading utilities.
#include <LCD4Bit_mod.h> #include <TinyGPS.h> LCD4Bit_mod lcd = LCD4Bit_mod(2); TinyGPS gps; void setup() { // change the baudrate to adapt with GPS module Serial.begin(9600); lcd.init(); } void loop() { static bool ready = false; if (!Serial.available()) return; char c = Serial.read(); // push NMEA characters to TinyGPS if (!gps.encode(c)) { // parsed data not ready if (!ready) lcd.print(c); return; } char buf[16]; unsigned long fix_age; long lat, lon; gps.get_position(&lat, &lon, &fix_age); sprintf(buf, "LAT:%d.%05ld", (int)(lat / 100000), lat % 100000); lcd.cursorTo(1, 0); lcd.printIn(buf); sprintf(buf, "LON:%d.%05ld", (int)(lon / 100000), lon % 100000); lcd.cursorTo(2, 0); lcd.printIn(buf); ready = true; }
