AWK to the rescue!

I mentioned a few posts back that I had built myself a GPS logging tool. Since then, I tweaked it some by putting it into an enclosure (a plastic box), hooking up an external power connector (aka a barrel jack), wired in an OpenLog device and changing the code to log the GPS values to a CSV type file on the SD Card. It is in my truck, powered by a cigarette lighter power chord. Those changes were fun and educational but I hit another wall when I moved on to the "next step" with the project.

Arduino + GPS = Lessons and Fun

I mentioned some time back that I am starting to learn electronics from a hobbyist stand point. My lessons have continued and I have turned to learning about GPS in particular. My GPS efforts have taken a bit of a winding road, but I am finally getting things stabilized and can blog about the experience and lessons learned. This is a long posting, covering the story so far...
