Interface GPS With ARM7

Description

GPS is a space-based satellite navigation system. It provides location, date and time. This navigation system made up of a network with 24 satellites placed into orbit.

• GPS navigation device provides data in all weather conditions.
• GPS satellite placed in orbit from a distance of 20,000 km above the earth.
• A satellite makes complete two revolutions every day.
• Each GPS receiver gets the information from four satellites.
• GPS receiver is used to calculate the location from the information obtained from four satellites.
• Calculations based on the mathematical principle called trilateration.

Calculating Location

• EXAMPLE
  To know the exact location.
  There is four person
  Person 1= unknown location, (GPS Receiver)
  Person 2=Chennai, (Satellite 1)
  Person 3=Bangalore (Satellite 2)
  Person 4= Coimbatore (Satellite 3)
• Person1 ask person2 where am I, he says you are 139km from Chennai.

• Person1 ask person3 where am I, he says you are 215 km from Bangalore.

• Person1 ask person4 where am I, he says you are 391 km from Coimbatore.

GPS Received Data In NMEA Format

• $GPBOD = Bearing, origin to destination.
• $GPBWC = Bearing and distance to waypoint, great circle.
• $GPGGA = Global Positioning System Fix Data.
• $GPGLL = Geographic position,latitude / longitude.
• $GPGSA = GPS DOP and active satellites.
• $GPGSV = GPS Satellites in view.
• $GPHDT = Heading, True.
• $GPR00 = List of waypoints in currently active route.
• $GPRMA = Recommended minimum specific Loran-C data.
• $GPRMB = Recommended minimum navigation info.
• $GPRMC = Recommended minimum specific GPS/Transit data.
• $GPRTE = Routes.
• $GPTRF = Transit Fix Data.
• $GPSTN = Multiple Data ID.
• $GPVBW = Dual Ground / Water Speed.
• $GPVTG = Track made good and ground speed.
• $GPWPL = Waypoint location.
• $GPXTE = Cross-track error,Measured.
• $GPZDA = Date and Time.

Hardware Required

• GPS Module.
• LPC21XX MicroController.

GPS Pinout

• Vin= +5V.
• Tx= Rx of Microcontroller.
• Rx= Tx of Microcontroller.
• Gnd= Ground.
