GPS: Data Variables

The document describes GPS data variables and the logic used to parse GPS data received via interrupt, including latitude, longitude, time, speed and other variables, with the logic checking for start and separator characters to extract the values and store them in the appropriate variables. It also provides an example of the header format for a GPS data string with explanations of the fields.

GPS:

Data Variables

Latitude gpsCurrentLatValue, tempGpsLatValue[7].


Latitude Direction gpsCurrentLatDirValue, tempGpsLatDirValue[1].
Longitude gpsCurrentLonValue, tempGpsLonValue[8].
Longitude Direction gpsCurrentLonDirValue, tempGpsLonDirValue[1].
UTC (time) gpsCurrentUtcValue, tempGpsUtcValue[6].
Speed gpsCurrentSpeed, tempGpsSpeedValue[5].

Position=latitude+longitude.

Function : gpsInit(); ---- Stores the values in all ‘Current’ variables .

Variables used for implementing the Logic:

1. gpsHeaderStart. ($)
2. gpsSeperator. (,)
3. gpsDelimiter. (\n)
4. gpsCurrentChar.
5. gpsTempVar.

Header That is used:
