GPS-Display\nThis project aims to use Satellite's Data (GPS) to determine a High precice localization and do more stuff with that .\n\n## Getting Started\nTo get a copy of the project , you can go on the GitHub's webpage of the project and click on the green button to download as a .ZIP file.\nHowever , if you're using a prompt on a unix machine use this line :\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/Franck1333/GPS-Display.git\n```\nHowever , before doing anything  , you should check updates of your platform before Install and Run this project , it's recommended ;=).\n\n### Prerequisites\nTo use the project , you will need some Hardware:\n```\nA Raspberry Pi\nA USB G.P.S (Ublox-7) --\u003e  http://amzn.eu/aG9vR3t\nA Micro S.D card (8 Gb Minimum)\nA screen (Diplayotron 3000 or other lcd)\n```\nAnd you will also need some libraries and softwares :\n```\n- Python version 2 and 3\n\t- Python Libraries:\n\t\t-serial\n\t\t-time\n\t\t-os\n\t\t-sys\n\t\t- from urllib2 import urlopen\n\t\t-json\n\t\t-googlemaps (API GOOGLEMAPS pip install -U googlemaps)\n\t\t-datetime\n\t\t-pyowm (API METEO // pip install pyowm)\n    { FOR THE DOT3K in python files :\n      import dot3k.lcd as lcd\n      import dot3k.backlight as backlight\n    }\n\t- Raspian Wheezy/STRETCH or later\n```\nNow especially for the Display'O'Tron 3000 in our case\n```\n\t- The Github page : https://github.com/pimoroni/displayotron\n\t- The command line Setup (need to be install) : curl -sS get.pimoroni.com/displayotron | bash\n\t- Directory 'plugins'\n\t- Directory 'utils'\n\t- File 'dot3k.cfg'\n\t- Directory 'library'\n  ```\n  \n  ### Installing\n  To get and install the files , use this line : git clone https://github.com/Franck1333/GPS-Display.git\n \n ### NEED TO BE INSTALL BEFORE RUNNING\n #### The Weather API :\n\t  ```\n\t  sudo pip install pyowm\n\t  ```\n #### The Google Maps API :\n\t  ```\n\t  sudo pip install -U googlemaps\n\t  ```\n #### The Display'O'Tron Softwares and libs :\n\t  ```\n\t  curl -sS get.pimoroni.com/displayotron | bash\n\t  ``` \n  ### RUN\n  #### First Way to run the project : \n  To run the project , you can run the small script file called \"Start_GPS.sh\" ; it's will launch the project in the background\n  #### Second Way to run the project : \n  To run the project ; if you want to see the console activities , you can launch the file called \"Start_GPS.sh\" into the Command Line  Prompt with \"./Start_GPS.sh\"\n  #### Third Way to run the project :\n  To run the project ; if you want to see the console activities , you can launch the file called \"dot3k_automenu.py\" into the Command Line  Prompt with \"sudo python dot3k_automenu.py\"\n  #### The Fourth Way to run the project :\n  To run the project ; if you want the project run automatically when system start-up :\n  Go to launch a Prompt and type:\n  ```\n  \u003e\u003esudo nano /etc/rc.local\n\n  AND WRITE before exit 0:\n  \u003e\u003e sleep 35  #Give time to the system to boot and get all the data necessary\n  \u003e\u003e bash /home/pi/GPS_Display/Mon_Travail/Start_GPS.sh \u0026\n  ```\n  ## Running the tests\n  To test if you received a GPS signals , you have to use the python files called :\n  ```\n  Recuperation_GPS.py (English Ver)\n  Recuperation_FR_GPS.py (French Ver)\n  ```\n  ## The Folders and Files\n  In this project we've got two Directories\n  #### Directories\n  \"Exemple\" : It's show you which examples i used or made to make my project;\n  \"Mon_Travail\" (My Work) : It's Show you the source code of the project\n  #### Files in \"/GPS-Display/Mon_Travail/\"\n  ```\n  Start_GPS.sh : Allow to launch the project in the entirety\n\n  Recuperation_GPS.py : Allow to display the information come from the GPS USB stick in English\n\n  Recuperation_FR_GPS.py : Allow to display the information come from the GPS USB stick in French\n\n  Recuperation_Determination.py : Allow to get information come from the GPS USB stick and determinate where we are and what to do with variables states\n\n  Meteo.py : Processing of GPS coordinates to get the local weather in real time\n  \n  nettoyage_du_cache.py : Delete the Python Cache files (*.pyc)\n\n  dot3k_clear.py : Delete the diplayable area of the DOT3K\n\n  dot3k_automenu.py : Main HOME use for the project and to use the DOT3K \n\n  dot3k_affichage_meteo.py : Processing of the data display that had been get and determinated by the python file called \"Meteo.py\"\n\n  dot3k_affichage_determination.py : Processing of the display of the data come from the python file called \"Recuperation_Determination.py\"\n\n  dot3k.cfg : Configuration file for the DOT3K display \n  ```\n  ## Authors\n\n* **Franck ROCHAT** - *Initial work* - [Franck
