List,
Just commented the // gpsModule.readline() in the while loop, (
refer the link
https://microcontrollerslab.com/neo-6m-gps-module-raspberry-pi-pico-micropython/
)
while True: # gpsModule.readline() // This line commented out and the "GPS
not found message disappeared". buff = str(gpsModule.readline()) parts =
buff.split(',')
The GPS not found error which appears intermittently in the output python
console for few seconds ( say 7 to 8 seconds its printing the lines "
GPS data not found" ) now disappears.
Any thoughts? How the above line comment made it vanish the "GPS data
not found" error output.
