GPSLANDI is a TCP gateway for a GPS module with RS-232 interface. The program works on any flavour of Linux, anyway it has been built for Raspberry PI (2,3,4). The GPS module tested is a modern Ultimate GPS breakout 66 channels 10HZ updates: https://www.adafruit.com/product/746 The gateway decodes standard NMEA-00183 message, so it should work with any compatible GPS module. This module is part of project for a drone boat,anyway it's usable for any different purpose where a GPS location is required.

Authors: Achille and Samuele Landi

Configuration: Edit the file gps-landi-server.c and change the following line, replacing /dev/ttyS0 with the serial port where the GPS is wired: #define RS232 "/dev/ttyS0"

Requirements: gcc compiler only, for Raspberry PI you could install the following package: apt-get install build-essential

Build: build the program executing from the folder of download ./compile.sh

Run: ./gps-landi-server

The gateway will listen on port 8000/tcp for a connection. As soon a connection arrives,it send the last know position and disconnect.

You can try to connect to the gateway from the same device with: telnet 127.0.0.1 8000

Additional information are shown on the screen and written to the syslog file.
