Re: NEO6 GPS with Py PICO with micropython
List, Just commented the // gpsModule.readline() in the while loop, ( refer the link https://microcontrollerslab.com/neo-6m-gps-module-raspberry-pi-pico-micropython/ ) while True: # gpsModule.readline() // This line commented out and the "GPS not found message disappeared". buff = str(gpsModule.readline()) parts = buff.split(',') The GPS not found error which appears intermittently in the output python console for few seconds ( say 7 to 8 seconds its printing the lines " GPS data not found" ) now disappears. Any thoughts? How the above line comment made it vanish the "GPS data not found" error output.

NEO6 GPS with Py PICO with micropython
List , I am following this tutorial to get latitude and longitude data using NEO6 GPS module and Py PICO to read the GPS data from the device. I followed the code specified in this tutorial. https://microcontrollerslab.com/neo-6m-gps-module-raspberry-pi-pico-micropython/ I have installed thony IDE in my Desktop(windows PC) and run the code after the devices all connected and using USB cable connected to my PC. When I ran the program I am able to see the output of latitude and longitude in the console of thony IDE. But between certain intervals of a few seconds I am getting the latitude and longitude data ( its printing GPS data not found ?? ) in the python console. The satellite count from the $GGPA output showing 03 .. and the GPS data not found repeating randomly for intervals of seconds. Any hints why it is missing the GPS data (randomly) ?? PS:- The GPS device I placed outside my window and connected to the PC with a USB cable from the PICO module. GPS device NEO6 light (Red LED ) blinking even though the " GPS data not found" messages in th python console. Any hints ?? most welcome Yours, Krishane -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Python code: brief
List , I have come across a difficulty to understand the code in this file. I am unable to understand exactly what the code snippet is doing here. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CODARcode/MDTrAnal/master/lib/codar/oas/MDTrSampler.py I am new to this type of scientific computing code snippets and it is coded by someone. Due to a requirement I would like to understand what these lines of code will do exactly. If someone could explain to me what the code snippets do in the code blocks, it will be a great help . Thanks in advance Krish -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
