M5Stack ATOM GPS Kit - not getting logging working

phantompants

Hi
I am trying to get a simple GPS logger function working so I can geolocate photos and utilize elevation/speed info in GoPro videos when I'm travelling.

I bought the M5Stack ATOM GPS Kit, and have tried numerous coding attempts, including using ChatGPT to assist, but can't get it to do what I need.

Current code is here https://github.com/phantompants/M5AtomGPSKit/blob/main/M5-AtomicGPS-ExampleCode-GPX-Elevation-ChatGPT-Coding.ino

What is wrong with this code, it compiles and loads but I don't get the LEDs or logging?

ChatGPT (Code Pilot) Prompt:
Need code to make a GPS logger with an ATOM GPS Development Kit (M8030-KT), ensure it logs GPS data as a GPX compatible file, including Latitude, Longitude, Elevation and Speed.

Ensure it is configured for the southern hemisphere.

Using Arduino IDE 2.3.2.

Segment and name the GPS files into days based on Sydney Australia time in format "YYYYMMDD GPX Data.gpx"

Enable logging on power up and use the Atom Lite button click:

For on and initialising - Single Click enable
For shutdown and power-off - Double click and show a red LED on the Atom Lite.
Enable Atom Lite LED
For on and initialising - show a green LED on the Atom Lite
For shutdown and power-off - show a green LED on the Atom Lite
When receiving GPS data and writing to the SD Card Flash the Atom Lite LED blue
When writing to the SD Card is failed or full Flash the Atom Lite LED purple.

Hello @phantompants

well, from what I can tell AI didn't catch that you wanted to use an M5Stack ATOM GPS Kit and failed to setup the correct GPIOs etc.

Please find a GPS example using an Atomic GPS Kit here.

Please note: It only reads and prints GPS data. I'll leave the rest for you to figure out.

Thanks

@felmue it also sounds like you trying to use it inside a building which block the GPS signals. You need to hang the GPS antenna out of a window to get a GPS signal
