I have a project that needs a GPS/CELLULAR setup. So I have started looking at both the Asset Tracker with an Electron (or Boron with adapter) or use the Boron and external GPS like the Adafruit Ultimate GPS. My project will probably require an external antenna so I’m trying to figure which setup wo…

Here is a good GPS receiver that you can use over i2c or Serial. I used this with the Electron with zero issues. [image] SparkFun GPS Breakout - XA1110 (Qwiic) - GPS-14414 - SparkFun Electronics The SparkFun XA1110 GPS Breakout is a small I2C-supported module built for easy hookup, thank…

Hi @RWB , I just received one of the Adafruit ones you referenced ( PA1010D ), but I’m not smart enough to add it to my Particle code without a pre-existing library :blush:. Did you find one that worked for the Sparkfun XA1110 that I could tinker with? Adafruit has a guide published here: https://le…

[image] epbwhiz: Did you find one that worked for the Sparkfun XA1110 that I could tinker with? Hey! Yes I had to create some code that worked over i2c via some trial and error. Here is the i2c code for just the GPS module: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z2IunMXSIqCE2mDKPKyyep4iuG…

Thanks so much! I got it talking and 90% there - the raw values are coming into the “myI2CGPS” object just fine: $GNGGA,224801.000,435.9216,N,1162.2050,W,2,11,0.89,814.2,M,-18.6,M,,*4E $GPGSA,A,3,28,30,09,23,27,07,05,08,,,,,1.21,0.89,0.83*04 $GLGSA,A,3,66,67,77,,,,,,,,,,1.21,0.89,0.83*17 $GNRMC,22…

Looks like PA1010D reports position as GNGGA instead of GPGGA, which is what the TinyGPS++ library was looking for. So once I updated these two lines: #define _GPRMCterm "GPRMC" #define _GPGGAterm "GPGGA" to #define _GPRMCterm "GNRMC" #define _GPGGAterm "GNGGA" BAM working like a champ…

Happy you got it working! I felt so proud of myself when I got this working without asking for any help :slight_smile: I’m not sure why you needed to make that change because the code work as it is for me. Maybe the newer GPS chips have different output settings like you noticed. Good to know rega…

That’s funny because the next thing on my mental to-do list was to only publish upon: (position change > ?20ft?) - my device gets deployed to a random ag field for 3 to 6 months, and then moves to a different one or into storage “unannounced”. So I need to ignore jitter, but definitely be able to …

Here is that code that I changed for the GPS update upon movement: [image] Use LIS3DH with Electron General @rickkas7 I got everything working on the i2c bus using your Asset Tracker library slight_smile It’s nice to have a quality Accelerometer to add to my box of tools…
