How to find coordinates (latitude and longitude) with LabView, NEO-6M-0-001 GPS and BeagleBone Black ?

[ArslanSajjad]

Hello there !
I want to want to find the coordinates (latitude and longitude) of my current location using labview NEO-6M-0-001 GPS and beagleBone Black micro-controller. I think it can be done beacuse labview supports beaglebone black. Can anyone help me how can I do it ?

Hi ArslanSajjad!

Seems like a cool integration. I don't know how the NEO GPS works but I would start by choosing the communication protocol and understanding how the data is sent to your Beaglebone Black. (UART, SPI, USB, DDC).

I found the datasheet here (https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/NEO-6_DataSheet_%28GPS.G6-HW-09005%29....)

Later I would look to know how to read the data that is received on your Beaglebone Black using LabVIEW. There are tons of tools to simply that, this one looks like a good one: https://www.labviewmakerhub.com/doku.php?id=learn:tutorials:libraries:linx:3-0

Hope this helps your research

You will have FUN!  I had loads of fun making my RPi3 do stupid LabVIEW tricks.  😉
