This project demonstrates GPS tracking using the Tiva C Series TM4C123G LaunchPad. The goal is to interface a GPS module (such as the Ublox NEO-6m) with the Tiva C board and extract location data.
- GPS Module Integration: Connect the Ublox NEO-6m GPS module to the Tiva C LaunchPad.
- UART Communication: Implement UART communication to receive NMEA sentences from the GPS module.
- Data Parsing: Parse NMEA sentences to extract latitude, longitude, and other relevant information.
- Display: Display real-time GPS data on an LCD or serial monitor.
- Position Logging: Log GPS coordinates to an SD card or EEPROM.
- Mapping: Integrate with mapping APIs (e.g., Google Maps) to visualize the tracked path.
- Tiva C Series TM4C123GH6PM LaunchPad
- Ublox NEO-6m GPS Module
- Connecting wires
- Optional: LCD display, SD card module
- Set up the Tiva C LaunchPad development environment (e.g., Keil uVision).
- Wire the GPS module to the Tiva C board (TX/RX pins).
- Write code to initialize UART communication and parse NMEA sentences.
- Display GPS data on an output device (LCD or serial monitor).
- Implement position logging if needed.
Feel free to explore and modify the code to suit your specific requirements. Happy tracking! 🌐🛰️
