Arduino nano GPS data capture tool
« on: September 07, 2026, 10:37:58 am »
I made this for the streets and trips modules but I think it will work for most of them.  The arduino sketch has a bunch of config options including date rollover correction for old modules like the GPS-500, timezone and DST options, and a bunch of true false flags for choosing what data you want to be displayed (serial.print).  Also in the folder is a python code to find the usb device automatically (close the IDE first) and then display the serial data in terminal.  There is also another python that does the same while logging that info to text file in the logs folder. There are pictures showing how to wire it too.

Edit: so to use this on a newer amazon GPS module like those sold for these arduinos, you would change the GPS baud to match the newer ones and turn off the week number adjustment.  The GPS-500 used a 10 bit register for the week number so it can only count 1024 weeks. Without adding 1024 to what this module reports, it tells us that it is 2006.  Newer modules need this week option changed.

This zip file and its contents are also on my server and the files should all be viewable in a browser if you want to look at it that way.
