![]() ![]() Of course, with an internet connection, I could easily load my waypoints into many different online tools to view my position on a map, but I didn't want to rely on internet coverage. However, in this tutorial, instead of using radios, we will use a GPS tethered to your computer over USB, as a proof of concept. My base station is a radio receiver connected to my laptop over a serial to USB connection. My goal was to have my HAB transmit GPS data (as well as other sensor data) over RF, to a base station, and graphically display position and altitude on a map. In my quest to design a radio tracking system for my next HAB, I found it very easy to create applications on my computer and interact with embedded hardware over a serial port using the Python programming language.
