This inherits from Data Injector


Image Injector (GPS NMEA) component

Comms data injector to allow simulation of NMEA style GPS messages

Examples

GPS Example File FC6 Icon.png GPS Example Example should show the Latitude generated by the GPS injector as well as the system time in simulation or UTC time on hardware.
