## Mini GPS data logger
The idea behind this project is to have a
long lasting GPS data logger.
The selected module is the PMTK3339 GPS receiver
provided by Adafruits on a breakout board.
An MSP430 is used to kick start the GPS module,
this device has extensive options to reduce power
consumption.
### What you can learn from this project
* How to compile code for MSP430 devices
* Use MSP430 features to reduce power consumption
*
* Manipulate coordinates
* D° M' S"
* Decimal degrees
* etc..
* Discover NMEA data
### User interface
[Use the project Wiki to learn how to use the GUI & the API](https://github.com/gwbres/gps-logger/wiki)
### Getting started
Required packages:
```bash
# apt-get install binutils-msp430 gcc-msp430 msp430-libc mspdebug
```
compile the program with
```bash
make
```
I use *mspdebug* and an MSP430 launchpad to program my MCUs:
```bash
# mspdebug rf2500
# erase
# prog main.hex
# run
```
