Send to GPS - PHP Script?
|
|
| ashore 2008-01-14, 12:34 pm |
| Folks, I'm looking to send some coords data to a GPS unit. Any hints
on how to do that will be mucho appreciado. Info on addressing as
well as data formats, ... ?
I want to embed this capability in an Open Source PHP package I'm
writing, so known comm'l products with a similar capability, e.g.,
TomTom, won't do it, I believe. (But do correct me if I'm wrong on
this.)
I'm not yet settled on the particular unit, and I understand that the
stream/protocol may differ brand-to-brand, but I'm just starting to
look at this so any info wd be useful. Thanks, all.

So you're planning on connecting the GPS unit to your web server?

Umm, no, not "connecting". As I said, "send to ... " Yes, I
understand that http is a connection-based protocol, and I expect to
wind up with something like a UDP transmission by the server. Thanks
for yr interest.

The first question is to find out what kind of interface it takes. If
it's a TCP/IP socket, it would be pretty easy (assuming, of course, it's
compatible with your PC). But if it's something else like a COM port,
it can be much harder.
So start by looking up the technical specs on the units you're
considering.

There are some GPS related PHP classes here. I don't know if any may be
useful for your purposes. Take a look:

You have to align the fetzer bearings with the domyflage and then click
send.

I told you this was going to happen.

only if the farenstat is in send mode. Otherwise you get a deadlock.

Obviously, but the fetzer array alignment sub-routine is forced into
stand-by mode unless the farenstat is in send mode for the very purpose of
preventing a deadlock.
