gps3 0.1a

gps3 0.1a is a zombie Pypi link preventing updated index entries. Current version is https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gps3/0.30.4 as in the link above.

gps3.py

gps3.py is a Python 2.7-3.5 GPSD interface (http://www.catb.org/gpsd) and defaults to host=’127.0.0.1’, port=2947, gpsd_protocol=’json’in two classes.

1. GPSDSocket creates a GPSD socket connection & request/retreive GPSD output.

2. Fix unpacks the streamed gpsd data into python dictionaries.

These dictionaries are literated from the JSON data packet sent from the GPSD.

from gps3 import gps3
gps_socket = gps3.GPSDSocket()
gps_fix = gps3.Fix()
gps_socket.connect()
gps_socket.watch()
for new_data in gps_socket:
    if new_data:
        gps_fix.refresh(new_data)
        print('Altitude = ',gps_fix.TPV['alt'])
        print('Latitude = ',gps_fix.TPV['lat'])

Toggle Lat/Lon form with ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’ for RAW, DDD, DMM, DMS

Toggle units with ‘0’, ‘m’, ‘i’, ‘n’, for ‘raw’, Metric, Imperial, Nautical

Toggle between JSON and NMEA outputs with ‘j’ and ‘a’ respectively.

Quit with ‘q’ or ‘^c’

agps3.py

agps3.py also is a Python 2.7-3.5 GPSD interface (http://www.catb.org/gpsd) and defaults to host=’127.0.0.1’, port=2947, gpsd_protocol=’json’ in two classes.

1. GPSDSocket creates a GPSD socket connection & request/retreive GPSD output.

2. Dot unpacks the streamed gpsd data into object attribute values.

from gps3 import agps3
gps_socket = agps3.GPSDSocket()
dot = agps3.Dot()
gps_socket.connect()
gps_socket.watch()
for new_data in gps_socket:
    if new_data:
        dot.unpack(new_data)
        print('Altitude = ', dot.alt)
        print('Latitude = ', dot.lat)
