Chapter 11. Using a GPS Device with
Arduino
You've got quite a set of tools now to build amazing robots. One part that is not yet
covered, however, is giving your robot an idea of where it is in the world. This is particu-
larly useful for autonomous robots that might have to travel long distances. Keeping track
of its location would be useful, so you can not only know where your robot is, but also plan
where it should go. In this chapter, you'll learn the following:
• How to connect a GPS device with Arduino using the I2C bus
• How to connect GPS capability using an Arduino shield
Let's get started with a brief GPS tutorial.
