# GPS for Flipper Zero

[![FAP Build](https://github.com/ezod/flipperzero-gps/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ezod/flipperzero-gps/actions/workflows/build.yml)

A simple Flipper Zero application for NMEA 0183 serial GPS modules.

Heavy lifting (NMEA parsing) provided by [minmea].

## Installation

1. Navigate to the [FAP Build](https://github.com/ezod/flipperzero-gps/actions/workflows/build.yml)
GitHub action workflow, and select the most recent run.
2. The FAP is built for both the `dev` and `release` channels of the official
firmware. Download the artifact corresponding to your firmware version.
3. Extract `gps_nmea.fap` from the ZIP file to `apps/GPIO` on your Flipper
Zero SD card.

## Usage

This is a single-screen app, and a few interactions are provided via the
hardware buttons:

- Long press the up button to change the **baud rate**. The default baud rate
is 9600, but 4800, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 baud are also supported.
- Long press the right button to change **speed units** from knots to
kilometers per hour.
- Press the OK button to set the **backlight** to always on mode. Press it
again to disable.
- Long press the back button to **exit** the app.

## Hardware Setup

Connect the GPS module to power and the USART using GPIO pins 9 (3.3V), 11
(GND), 13 (TX), and 14 (RX), as appropriate.
