How can we assign Neo 6M GPS module as a static serial device in raspberry pi. So it always binds to a one name only.

I have got stuck after making the code gps.py, i save and run python gps.py it hangs. when i stop i get this ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "gps.py", line 10, in newdata=ser.readline() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/serial/serialposix.py", line 483, in read ready, _, _ = select.select([self.fd, self.pipe_abort_read_r], [], [], timeout.time_left()) KeyboardInterrupt

after 'nano gps.py' try the following code: import serial gps = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyAMA0", baudrate=9600) def convert_to_degrees(raw_value): decimal_value = float(raw_value)/100.00 degrees = int(decimal_value) mm_mmmm = (decimal_value - int(decimal_value))/0.6 position = degrees + mm_mmmm position = "%.4f" %(position) return position while True: line = gps.readline() data = line.split(",") if data[0] == "$GPGLL": print("Latitude={} and Longitude={}".format(convert_to_degrees(data[1]), convert_to_degrees(data[3]))) After saving it, run 'sudo python gps.py'

Great video, I like it and subscribed. I am new in doing projects with RPi and I want to show the GPS position, speed and heading on a 2004 display (for boating). In addition to the GPS position I have to add it in the phyton script with the different variables as you described for the GPS-position (that´s clear for me). The GPS script shall run after boot of the RPi So I have 2 additional questions: 1. until the GPS-module get a signal, I want to show a text message like "waiting for gps-fix". After getting the fix it shall continue with showing the position (gps data). How would look the code in phyton for the message "waiting for gps-fix" 2. in case the RPi lose the gps-signal, I want to show also a message on the lcd (combination with the same message as waiting for gps-fix is ok, or using a different message is also ok) Thanks in advance for helping me.

What is the possible problem if the led isn't working?

[@SPARKLERSWeAreTheMakers]

Either the module is not getting enough power else it's not getting signal (in this case you can move the module to window side or under open sky as it does not works indoor)

[@Code_Z3ro]

Very good explanation. Is it possible to save the coordinates in the form of a text file? If yes how?

[@SPARKLERSWeAreTheMakers]

You can simply modify the python code used in the video for that. Instead of printing coordinates in the console, just write those in a text file.
