GPS

🌶️🌶️ - I2C GPS sample

Shows how to use the System.Device.I2c API to read and write from/to an I2C device. In this sample we'll be using a IES-SHIELD-GPS GPS controller mounted on a STM32F769I DISCOVERY board.

The sample project includes a full driver for the IES-SHIELD-GPS and IES-SHIELD-GPAM allowing you to retrieve the current date, time, longitude, latitude, heading, speed, (GPAM only: pitch and roll) from the device.

The sample is located here.

Hardware requirements
