Hi All,

I'm pretty new to this robotic things, and my boss want me to use GPS in Eddie to do something. I know GPS service is not provided with Eddie but I need to know whether it's possible by add things or what so ever or not.


Thanks

    It would be easier to add the GPS to your computer rather than the EDDIE firmware. If that's not possible then yes, it's certainly possible to add a GPS through EDDIE but it will take some programming. In particular you will have to add code to EDDIE.spin and launch a new cog for the GPS serial. That's something that is not impossible to do, but it's not trivial either. It's too much for a forum post.
