Hello @ScruffR
I’m working on the AssetTrackerRK library, on an E-series electron board, and a SAM-M8Q, following the recommendations of using this library “AssetTrackerRK”, the LED indicator of the SAM-M8Q, indicates that it is already connected, but not I can see the coordinates, latitude and longitude, can you help me please?
#include <AssetTrackerRK.h>
#include "Particle.h"
#include "AssetTrackerRK.h" // only used for AssetTracker::antennaExternal
// Port of TinyGPS for the Particle AssetTracker
// https://github.com/mikalhart/TinyGPSPlus
#include "TinyGPS++.h"
SYSTEM_THREAD(ENABLED);
/*
This sample sketch demonstrates the normal use of a TinyGPS++ (TinyGPSPlus) object directly.
*/
void displayInfo(); // forward declaration
const unsigned long PUBLISH_PERIOD = 120000;
const unsigned long SERIAL_PERIOD = 5000;
const unsigned long MAX_GPS_AGE_MS = 10000; // GPS location must be newer than this to be considered valid
// The TinyGPS++ object
TinyGPSPlus gps;
unsigned long lastSerial = 0;
unsigned long lastPublish = 0;
unsigned long startFix = 0;
bool gettingFix = false;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
// The GPS module on the AssetTracker is connected to Serial1 and D6
Serial1.begin(9600);
// Settings D6 LOW powers up the GPS module
pinMode(D6, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(D6, LOW);
startFix = millis();
gettingFix = true;
// If using an external antenna, uncomment this block
// { AssetTracker t; t.antennaExternal(); }
}
void loop()
{
while (Serial1.available() > 0) {
if (gps.encode(Serial1.read())) {
displayInfo();
}
}
}
void displayInfo()
{
if (millis() - lastSerial >= SERIAL_PERIOD) {
lastSerial = millis();
char buf[128];
if (gps.location.isValid() && gps.location.age() < MAX_GPS_AGE_MS) {
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%f,%f,%f", gps.location.lat(), gps.location.lng(), gps.altitude.meters());
if (gettingFix) {
gettingFix = false;
unsigned long elapsed = millis() - startFix;
Serial.printlnf("%lu milliseconds to get GPS fix", elapsed);
}
}
else {
strcpy(buf, "no location");
if (!gettingFix) {
gettingFix = true;
startFix = millis();
}
}
Serial.println(buf);
if (Particle.connected()) {
if (millis() - lastPublish >= PUBLISH_PERIOD) {
lastPublish = millis();
Particle.publish("gps", buf, PRIVATE);
}
}
}
}
Thanks
Another point:
Is it possible to see in some way if serial port 1 is available?
Thanks
