Walter GPS MicroPython GPS tracking example

1

Hi,

You published a very good tutorial with working MicroPython code for making a GPS tracker with Adafruit IO here: Getting Started With Walter | An ESP32 With 4G/5G and GPS! - Tutorial Australia.
Do you have the same with Arduino code?

I know there is some basic GPS Arduino example using GNSS on Walter’s github, but it is not so nice as what you explain here.

Best wishes,

Addy

That MicroPython tutorial is the most complete example right now for doing a full GPS tracker with Adafruit IO on Walter. As far as I know, there isn’t an Arduino version that goes that far yet.

The Arduino examples on Walter’s GitHub mostly just show how to get GNSS data and basic output. You could definitely build the same thing in Arduino by adding MQTT and pushing the data to Adafruit IO yourself, but it takes quite a bit more setup compared to the MicroPython example.

Hey there, @Addy310997, and welcome to the forum, glad to have you here.

Unfortunately, Olivia is right. We have no Arduino examples for working with the Walter board. The closest I can suggest would be installing micropython on the Arduino and modifying the project as you go, but it definitely would not be an easy or efficient way for working with the Walter.
