Meadow.GnssTracker 2.5.0.11-beta

Meadow.GnssTracker

Convenience library for the Meadow GNSS Sensor Tracker

The GnssTracker library is included in the Meadow.GnssTracker nuget package and is designed for the Wilderness Labs Meadow .NET IoT platform.

The GNSS Sensor Tracker is an open-source, sensor-rich, GNSS/GPS tracking board that provides a base design accelerator for custom Meadow-based GNSS tracking solutions.

Onboard Hardware

Installation

You can install the library from within Visual Studio using the NuGet Package Manager or from the command line using the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Meadow.GnssTracker

Usage

public class MeadowApp : App<F7CoreComputeV2>
{
    IGnssTrackerHardware gnssTracker;

    public override Task Initialize()
    {
        gnssTracker = GnssTracker.Create();

        if (gnssTracker.TemperatureSensor is { } temperatureSensor)
        {
            temperatureSensor.Updated += (s, e) =>
                Resolver.Log.Info($"Temperature: {e.New.Celsius:N1}C");
        }

        if (gnssTracker.Gnss is { } gnss)
        {
            gnss.RmcReceived += (s, e) =>
            {
                if (e.IsValid)
                    Resolver.Log.Info($"GNSS: LAT [{e.Position.Latitude}], LONG [{e.Position.Longitude}]");
            };
        }

        if (gnssTracker.Display is { } display)
        {
            var graphics = new MicroGraphics(display);
            graphics.DrawText(10, 10, "Hello, GNSS Tracker!");
            graphics.Show();
        }

        if (gnssTracker.OnboardRgbLed is { } led)
        {
            led.StartPulse(Color.Green);
        }

        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }

    public override async Task Run()
    {
        if (gnssTracker.TemperatureSensor is { } temperatureSensor)
            temperatureSensor.StartUpdating(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));

        if (gnssTracker.Gnss is { } gnss)
            gnss.StartUpdating();

        await Task.Delay(Timeout.Infinite);
    }
}
