Hi Scullcom,
My Name is Jamie and I am so new to electronics & programming its not funny. I am a 12V & 240V electrician. I am interested in something a little new & thought a little electronics project would be fun. I’ve been watching your youtube videos & they are very interesting & you seem very knowledgeable in this field. Saying this it seems a little out of my league without doing some course.
I am really interested in the “simple GPS system arduino mini & OLED display” to start with.
I was wondering if it could be configured to read kilometer readings & if so , could it also store the kilometer readings so they accumulate over time eg. in a years time or so you could see how many kilometers you’ve accumulated over this time?
My email streetiesurf@hotmail.com
Thank you so much for your time
Jamie
thank you for such an amazing project!!!! bought all described materials and assembled this project ad it works!!!!!
Ok I’ve been working on something for weeks now, one line of code , (long,6). I cant do anything with it.
What I want to do is save the whole number to eeprom when I push a button , form there I can enter it in place of London and find my way back to that place . Eventually id like to build my own boat anchor. Any idea how to convert long,6 and lat,6 to save the whole number ,as a number to eeprom ? If you try it it will only read 6 on the oled.
