GPS RECEIVER

GPS receiver

There is an interesting project on the PA0RWE website.

Rob has used a GPS module and an OLED screen.

On this screen you can read:

Position in Latitude and Longitude

QTH locator

The correct time in GMT

The date

The number of satellites you receive.

I rebuilt this and it worked fine.

I first used an older GPS module but the newer NEOblok 6 works better.

Rob uses a 0.96 inch screen . I opted for a larger 1.3 OLED screen.

For example, the characters are 30% larger. To do this, a small change has to be made in the software.

When reading the GPS software I saw that it is also possible to show the altitude in ASL.

For this you must receive at least 4 satellites otherwise the height varies.

(I lived between -19m and +17m during the test with a poorly placed GPS).

This info seemed better to me than the position. I have adapted the software for this.

Requirements:

Arduino uno or nano, GPS module, OLED screen.
