- Has anybody seen a way to get information from a GPS device into PD?
i use gpsd for the gps and as there is no tcpip object in pd where one can send and listen from to the same port i get the data into pd with the following shellscript (which i call with giges shell object):
#!/bin/sh echo "x;" | nc localhost 2947 > ./data.txt & cat ./data.txt | nc localhost 3002 & sleep 0.1 killall -9 nc
the x is an option i build into gpsd to just send "lat long alt speed". i then use a netreceive 3002 in the patch to listen to for the data.
best
