Section 24.7 Assignment
For this assignment you are to wire up the external GPS and get data from it. You need to mount the CPX/CPB and the GPS sensor to some sort of hard surface so that when you move the CPX/CPB the GPS moves as well. In order to get a significant change in GPS coordinates I recommend going for a bike ride or a walk. If you decide to use a car I strongly recommend having a partner drive the car so you can focus on data acquisition and plotting. Once you have your GPS coordinates, convert them to position and velocity.

Introduction with wiring diagram - 5%
-
All figures must have appropriate annotations, figure captions, figure labels and a paragraph of supporting text - 10%
-
Include a photo of your CPX/CPB mounted to a hard surface with the GPS sensor on a breadboard. - 10%

Plot GPS coordinates (Latitude vs Longitude) for your experiment where coordinates significantly change. - 10%
-
Convert GPS coordinates to position and plot (X vs Y) for your experiment where position significantly changes. - 20%
-
Convert your position to velocity and plot velocity vs time for your experiment where velocity significantly changes. Comment on whether your velocity is accurate to the speed you were traveling - 20%
-
Appendix A - Video Details - Film yourself and your entire screen showing your GPS getting a lock with the Serial monitor open in Mu. Also explain what you plan on doing to significantly change the GPS coordinates. - Pass/Fail
-
Appendix B - Code used to take data and code used to plot in plain text (no screenshots) - Pass/Fail
