Displaying the location in a dashboard (Using the NeoGPS library)

Development Tools Cloud IoT

Hello, I am trying to get the the latitude and longitude from my GPS and store it in a cloud variable.
This is the example code I'm using:

#include "thingProperties.h"

#include <NMEAGPS.h>
#include <GPSport.h>
#include <Streamers.h>

static NMEAGPS  gps;
static gps_fix  fix;

double latitude;
double longitude;

static void doSomeWork()
{
  trace_all( DEBUG_PORT, gps, fix );
}

static void GPSloop()
{
  while (gps.available( gpsPort ))
  {
    fix = gps.read();
    doSomeWork();
  }
}

void setup()
{
  DEBUG_PORT.begin(9600);
  delay(1500); 

  initProperties();
  ArduinoCloud.begin(ArduinoIoTPreferredConnection);
  setDebugMessageLevel(2);
  ArduinoCloud.printDebugInfo();
  
  while (!DEBUG_PORT);

  DEBUG_PORT.print( F("NMEA.INO: started\n") );
  DEBUG_PORT.print( F("  fix object size = ") );
  DEBUG_PORT.println( sizeof(gps.fix()) );
  DEBUG_PORT.print( F("  gps object size = ") );
  DEBUG_PORT.println( sizeof(gps) );
  DEBUG_PORT.println( F("Looking for GPS device on " GPS_PORT_NAME) );

  #ifndef NMEAGPS_RECOGNIZE_ALL
    #error You must define NMEAGPS_RECOGNIZE_ALL in NMEAGPS_cfg.h!
  #endif

  #ifdef NMEAGPS_INTERRUPT_PROCESSING
    #error You must *NOT* define NMEAGPS_INTERRUPT_PROCESSING in NMEAGPS_cfg.h!
  #endif

  #if !defined( NMEAGPS_PARSE_GGA ) & !defined( NMEAGPS_PARSE_GLL ) & \
      !defined( NMEAGPS_PARSE_GSA ) & !defined( NMEAGPS_PARSE_GSV ) & \
      !defined( NMEAGPS_PARSE_RMC ) & !defined( NMEAGPS_PARSE_VTG ) & \
      !defined( NMEAGPS_PARSE_ZDA ) & !defined( NMEAGPS_PARSE_GST )

    DEBUG_PORT.println( F("\nWARNING: No NMEA sentences are enabled: no fix data will be displayed.") );

  #else
    if (gps.merging == NMEAGPS::NO_MERGING)
    {
      DEBUG_PORT.print  ( F("\nWARNING: displaying data from ") );
      DEBUG_PORT.print  ( gps.string_for( LAST_SENTENCE_IN_INTERVAL ) );
      DEBUG_PORT.print  ( F(" sentences ONLY, and only if ") );
      DEBUG_PORT.print  ( gps.string_for( LAST_SENTENCE_IN_INTERVAL ) );
      DEBUG_PORT.println( F(" is enabled.\n"
                            "  Other sentences may be parsed, but their data will not be displayed.") );
    }
  #endif

  DEBUG_PORT.print  ( F("\nGPS quiet time is assumed to begin after a ") );
  DEBUG_PORT.print  ( gps.string_for( LAST_SENTENCE_IN_INTERVAL ) );
  DEBUG_PORT.println( F(" sentence is received.\n"
                        "  You should confirm this with NMEAorder.ino\n") );

  trace_header( DEBUG_PORT );
  DEBUG_PORT.flush();

  gpsPort.begin( 9600 );
}

void loop()
{
  ArduinoCloud.update();
  GPSloop();
  latitude = fix.latitudeL();
  longitude = fix.longitudeL();
  location = {latitude, longitude};
}

I can't figure out how to display the coordiantes on to the dashboard.

How do you normally display data on the dashboard?

What did you expect to happen with the posted code, and what happens instead?

3

i dont know how to view the dashboard i created it but how do i run the dashboard.

4

Did you log in to your ArduinoIoTCloud account on the website? I would expect the dashboard to be there.

Ok so I am going to take a step back and trying to get the Cloud Blink tutorial to work.

So I imported the Cloud blink but the arduino cloud says the device is offline.
