FYP SEM 2 ( WEEK 9)

Week 9 schedule;
- meet my supervisor to show the progress of the project
- get the GPS data and data logger in a proptiary senteces
- try to used lcd display (to display the latitude and longitude)

purpose:

-to get  a final result of the project

method:

- do the configuration of GPS data logger
- try to find the I2C (lcd display capable with Arduino) configuration for display latitude and longitude of the point.

the sample configuration of GPS data logger:

#include <SD.h>

const int chipSelect = 10;

void setup()

{
  
Serial.begin(9600);
  

 pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
  
if (!SD.begin(chipSelect)) {
   
   
 return;

 }


}


void loop()

{
  
// make a string for assembling the data to log:

 char index = 0;
  
char temp = 0;
  
String dataString = "";

 // open the file. note that only one file can be open at a time,

 // so you have to close this one before opening another.

 /*
    
while(Serial.available())
   
 {
    
  File dataFile = SD.open("datalog.txt", FILE_WRITE);
     
 if(dataFile)
     
 {
        
temp = Serial.read();
        
dataString += String(temp);
        
dataFile.print(dataString);
        
dataString = "";
        
dataFile.close();
    
  }
  
  }
  
*/ 

File dataFile = SD.open("datalog.txt", FILE_WRITE);

 if(dataFile)

{
   
while(Serial.available())
  
 {
   
  temp = Serial.read();

    dataString += String(temp);
   
  index++;
    
 if(index>200)
  
     break;

   }
  
 dataFile.print(dataString);
  
 dataFile.close();

 }

}
