Are there any plans to add GPS functionality? about lmic-node HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for your compliments!

Is there any plans to add GPS functionality to your code so we can use it on TTN-Mapper?

No plans currently to add this to LMIC-node, because it would be specific to only a few of the supported boards while making the code more complex. My goal for LMIC-node was to serve as a basic but functionally complete cross-platform LMIC example that runs out of the box on many popular boards, to make building LoRaWAN nodes with LMIC and Arduino easier and more fun.

However: @roelwolf already added the GPS functionality that you are looking for and has tested it on TTGO T-Beam V1.0. 🙂

The README.md from his repository unfortunately has still not been updated. So from the README.md it does not become clear what functionality was added or changed, which hardware is supported and how to use it. You will have to look at the code for that. Some additional information can be found in the following post on the TTN forum

For the repository see: https://github.com/roelwolf/LMIC-node-gps-tracker

This is really great, I got it working as easy as your code. Now I can use TTN Mapper.

appreciate all the help

@mrbc42 A payload formatter is included in my repository (link)
Do not use the formatter you provided as this formatter also tries to convert downlink messages on port 10 to a gps position, resulting in positions all over the world.

@roelwolf many thanks, for some reason I missed the formatter in your repo. I have corrected this in my system (working fine) and will edit my original statement. Thanks for the great code, it solved my problem.
