Python 2.7-3.5 clients for gpsd

Project description

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_connection:
        if new_data:
            gps_fix.refresh(new_data)
            print('Altitude = ',gps_fix.TPV['alt'])
            print('Latitude = ',gps_fix.TPV['lat'])

/usr/local/share/gps3/examples/human.py

human.py showcases gps3.py,

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

python[X] human.py --help for list of commandline options.

/usr/local/share/gps3/examples/gegps3.py

Is a trivial application that creates a ‘live’ kml file(s) for Google Earth. Scant documentation is in the file.

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_connection:
        if new_data:
            dot.update(new_data)
            print('Altitude = ', dot.alt)
            print('Latitude = ', dot.lat)

Installation

[sudo -H] pip[2|3] install gps3

For example, sudo -H pip3 install gps3 for P3 installation. …``pip2 install gps3`` for Python 2.7.

Un-installation

[sudo -H] pip[2|3] uninstall gps3

For example, sudo -H pip3 uninstall gps3 for P3 installation. …``pip2 uninstall gps3`` for Python 2.7.
