Hello,
The goal of my project is to recieve multiple data from sensors and into a arduino uno (GT016) and then into a bluetooth module (Pmod BT2) which sends the data into a phone that has the app which I made using ai2.appinventor.
But for a test I only used a GPS module (Position GPS 746), and tried to display the latitude and longitude on my app. I also used the Adafruit GPS library, specifically the GPS_SoftwareSerial_Parsing file to recieve data.
#include <Adafruit_GPS.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
// Connect the GPS Power pin to 5V
// Connect the GPS Ground pin to ground
// Connect the GPS TX (transmit) pin to Digital 8
// Connect the GPS RX (receive) pin to Digital 7
// you can change the pin numbers to match your wiring:
SoftwareSerial mySerial(8, 7);
Adafruit_GPS GPS(&mySerial);
// Set GPSECHO to 'false' to turn off echoing the GPS data to the Serial console
// Set to 'true' if you want to debug and listen to the raw GPS sentences
#define GPSECHO false
void setup()
{
// connect at 115200 so we can read the GPS fast enough and echo without dropping chars
// also spit it out
Serial.begin(115200);
delay(5000);
Serial.println("Adafruit GPS library basic parsing test!");
// 9600 NMEA is the default baud rate for Adafruit MTK GPS's- some use 4800
GPS.begin(9600);
// uncomment this line to turn on RMC (recommended minimum) and GGA (fix data) including altitude
GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCGGA);
// uncomment this line to turn on only the "minimum recommended" data
//GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCONLY);
// For parsing data, we don't suggest using anything but either RMC only or RMC+GGA since
// the parser doesn't care about other sentences at this time
// Set the update rate
GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_UPDATE_1HZ); // 1 Hz update rate
// For the parsing code to work nicely and have time to sort thru the data, and
// print it out we don't suggest using anything higher than 1 Hz
// Request updates on antenna status, comment out to keep quiet
GPS.sendCommand(PGCMD_ANTENNA);
delay(1000);
// Ask for firmware version
mySerial.println(PMTK_Q_RELEASE);
}
uint32_t timer = millis();
void loop() // run over and over again
{
char c = GPS.read();
// if you want to debug, this is a good time to do it!
if ((c) && (GPSECHO))
Serial.write(c);
// if a sentence is received, we can check the checksum, parse it...
if (GPS.newNMEAreceived()) {
// a tricky thing here is if we print the NMEA sentence, or data
// we end up not listening and catching other sentences!
// so be very wary if using OUTPUT_ALLDATA and trytng to print out data
//Serial.println(GPS.lastNMEA()); // this also sets the newNMEAreceived() flag to false
if (!GPS.parse(GPS.lastNMEA())) // this also sets the newNMEAreceived() flag to false
return; // we can fail to parse a sentence in which case we should just wait for another
}
// approximately every 2 seconds or so, print out the current stats
if (millis() - timer > 2000) {
timer = millis(); // reset the timer
Serial.print("\nTime: ");
if (GPS.hour < 10) { Serial.print('0'); }
Serial.print(GPS.hour, DEC); Serial.print(':');
if (GPS.minute < 10) { Serial.print('0'); }
Serial.print(GPS.minute, DEC); Serial.print(':');
if (GPS.seconds < 10) { Serial.print('0'); }
Serial.print(GPS.seconds, DEC); Serial.print('.');
if (GPS.milliseconds < 10) {
Serial.print("00");
} else if (GPS.milliseconds > 9 && GPS.milliseconds < 100) {
Serial.print("0");
}
Serial.println(GPS.milliseconds);
Serial.print("Date: ");
Serial.print(GPS.day, DEC); Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(GPS.month, DEC); Serial.print("/20");
Serial.println(GPS.year, DEC);
Serial.print("Fix: "); Serial.print((int)GPS.fix);
Serial.print(" quality: "); Serial.println((int)GPS.fixquality);
if (!GPS.fix) {
Serial.print("Location: ");
Serial.print(GPS.latitude, 4); Serial.print(GPS.lat);
Serial.print(", ");
Serial.print(GPS.longitude, 4); Serial.println(GPS.lon);
Serial.print("Speed (knots): "); Serial.println(GPS.speed);
Serial.print("Angle: "); Serial.println(GPS.angle);
Serial.print("Altitude: "); Serial.println(GPS.altitude);
Serial.print("Satellites: "); Serial.println((int)GPS.satellites);
}
}
}
With the serial moniter (values are zero because I was inside a building)
My question is how do I get the values I want from the arduino and display it on a bluetooth app?
Below is what I have done so far, but I tried different methods and couldn't advance.
Please advice
