README

          
This project demonstrates how to use an ESP8266 to act as a GPS data server. The device collects GPS data using a GPS module (Mateksys m10q) and streams it to connected clients over a WebSocket server. The ESP8266 operates in Access Point (AP) mode, allowing direct client connections without the need for an external Wi-Fi network.

Features:

    - GPS Data Collection: Captures latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, number of satellites, and timestamp using the TinyGPS++ library.

    - TCP Communication: Streams real-time GPS data to to a device with port 4201

    - AP Mode: ESP8266 hosts its own Wi-Fi network for easy client connection.

Setup

    Hardware Connections:

        Connect the GPS module to the ESP8266 using pins D2 (GPIO4) for RX and D1 (GPIO5) for TX.

        Ensure the GPS module's baud rate is set to 9600.

    Dependencies:

        Install the following Arduino libraries:

            TinyGPS++

            WebSockets

    Wi-Fi Configuration:

        Update the ssid and password variables in the code to set your desired Access Point credentials.

    Flash the ESP8266:

        Upload the code to the ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE.

    Connect and Test:

        Connect to the Wi-Fi network named ESP8266 (default).

        Open a WebSocket client (e.g., a browser or WebSocket test tool) and connect to ws://192.168.4.1:81.

Tested with:
