# NMEA Parser Example
|
|
|
|
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This example will show how to parse NMEA-0183 data streams output from GPS/BDS/GLONASS modules based on ESP UART Event driver and ESP event loop library.
|
|
For the convenience of the presentation, this example will only parse the following basic statements:
|
|
* GGA
|
|
* GSA
|
|
* GSV
|
|
* RMC
|
|
* GLL
|
|
* VTG
|
|
|
|
See [Limitation for multiple navigation system](#Limitation) for more information about this example.
|
|
|
|
Usually, modules will also output some vendor specific statements which common nmea library can not cover. In this example, the NMEA Parser will propagate all unknown statements to the user, where a custom handler can parse information from it.
|
|
|
|
## How to use example
|
|
|
|
### Hardware Required
|
|
|
|
To run this example, you need an ESP32 dev board (e.g. ESP32-WROVER Kit) or ESP32 core board (e.g. ESP32-DevKitC). For test purpose, you also need a GPS module. Here we take the [ATGM332D-5N](http://www.icofchina.com/pro/mokuai/2016-08-01/5.html) as an example to show how to parse the NMEA statements and output common information such as UTC time, latitude, longitude, altitude, speed and so on.
|
|
|
|
#### Pin Assignment:
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The following pin assignments are used by default which can be changed in `nmea_parser_config_t` structure.
|
|
|
|
| ESP32 | GPS |
|
|
| ---------------- | --------------- |
|
|
| UART-TX (option) | GPS-RX (option) |
|
|
| UART-RX | GPS-TX |
|
|
| GND | GND |
|
|
| 5V | VCC |
|
|
|
|
**Note:** UART TX pin in ESP32 is not necessary if you only use uart to receive data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Configure the project
|
|
|
|
Enter `make menuconfig` if you are using GNU Make based build system or enter `idf.py menuconfig` if you are using CMake based build system. Then go into `Example Configuration` menu.
|
|
|
|
- Set the size of ring buffer used by uart driver in `NMEA Parser Ring Buffer Size` option.
|
|
- Set the stack size of the NMEA Parser task in `NMEA Parser Task Stack Size` option.
|
|
- Set the priority of the NMEA Parser task in `NMEA Parser Task Priority` option.
|
|
- In the `NMEA Statement support` submenu, you can choose the type of statements that you want to parse. **Note:** you should choose at least one statement to parse.
|
|
|
|
### Build and Flash
|
|
|
|
Enter `make -j4 flash monitor` if you are using GNU Make based build system or enter `idf.py build flash monitor` if you are using CMake based build system.
|
|
|
|
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
|
|
|
|
See the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

|

|
|
```
|
|
As shown above, ESP32 finally got the information after parsed the NMEA0183 format statements. But as we didn't add `GPTXT` type statement in the library (that means it is UNKNOWN to NMEA Parser library), so it was propagated to user without any process.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
1. I cannot receive any statements from GPS although I have checked all the pin connections.
|
|
* Test your GPS via other terminal (e.g. minicom, putty) to check the right communication parameters (e.g. baudrate supported by GPS).
|
|
|
|
## Limitation
|
|
If the GPS module supports multiple satellite navigation system (e.g. GPS, BDS), then the satellite ids and descriptions may be delivered in different statements (e.g. GPGSV, BDGSV, GPGSA, BDGSA), depend on the version of NMEA protocol used by the GPS module. This example currently can only record id and description of satellites from one navigation system.
|
|
However, for other statements, this example can parse them correctly whatever the navigation system is.
|
|
|
|
### Steps to skip the limitation
|
|
1. Uncheck the `GSA` and `GSV` statements in menuconfig
|
|
2. In the `gps_event_handler` will get a signal called `GPS_UNKNOWN`, and the unknown statement itself (It's a deep copy of the original statement).
|
|
3. Manually parse the unknown statements and get the satellites' descriptions.
