Beginner’s Guide to gpsd: A Practical Introduction to GPS Data Handling in Python Let’s talk GPS. Not the “turn left at the big tree” kind that you cursed at when you missed an exit, but the kind that helps self-driving cars, drones, and anything that to navigate in free space. GPS, or Global Positioning System, is basically a constellation of satellites shouting “I’m here!” while your receiver goes, “Cool… where am I?” For humans, it’s usually “you’re five minutes away, traffic sucks, also don’t take that exit.” For machines, especially self-driving cars, it’s a vital system. The fundamental need of a GPS system is to help machines like self-driving cars to navigate.

Heard of #gpsd but don't know its significance? I just published a new guide on using gpsd to reliably access and manage GPS data in #Python. Check it out if you work with GPS hardware or just want to make sense of those NMEA strings.

Nice... Somehow #gpsd has managed to get this far using 'ifconfig' in a test script. 🙄

A bit more fiddling with the Toughpad today, I notice it has a WWAN module.

During boot-up, an Ericsson F5521gw quickly shows itself and enumerates a network device and some serial ports (CDC ACM).

But then, 5 seconds later, it deregisters itself. Quite why, I have no idea.

Now this is a 3G […]

@jeffgerstmann I know you hate Magic, but the Channel Fireball coverage of #GPSD has got some sick in between rounds electronic jams.
