GPS -- Global Positioning System
================================
The GPS module features the u-blox receiver platform, which provides multi-band GPS/GNSS to high-volume industrial applications in a compact form factor.
Methods
-------
.. automodule:: gps
:members:
.. note::
Since the ``get_uart_id()`` method of the ``Gps`` class returns a microPython UART object, it has all its methods. |br|
To do not duplicate the documentation, we suggest to take a look at the `official microPython project documentation `_ to see what methods you can additionaly use.
Example of additional methods:
>>> import sbc
>>> gps1 = sbc.Gps( 1, 115200 )
>>> print('There are: ',gps1.get_uart_id().any(),' characters to be read')
There are: 1580 characters to be read
>>> print(gps1.get_uart_id().readline())
