DS homebrew announcements > My GPS project on DS

#150981 - exvee - Sat Feb 16, 2008 10:47 am

Hi there,

I'm working on my GPS project for DS named Ranger. That'll be an open source project which means everyone could build him(her)self GPS system on DS.
Here I show you some pictures of my work, hardware and software.....
For users, just convert your map to a GIF file in storage card(any you need an slot1 cart like M3 R4 Neo or etc.), after a pretty sample configure with INI file, and then enjory your GPS system with your own map(even a Treasure Map).
and, leave me a message, if you like that.

Features:
Navigation(Location your postition for now)
Wifi
and more...

and that's real work mode
for lots of reasons I disable loaction mark, just have look around my home ^^

As you know that's a Dev-Sample cart with RS232 interface,, just for my debug, the finished one could just a little bigger than a normal GBA cart. And maybe an USB interface for computer.

Hi, nice work!

I have a question for you. I work already a year or so on my own GPS system and it's up and running fine.
See http://www.zoelen.net/blog/DSGPS/DSGPS.asp
But i have one very irritating issue with the maps. I use small GIF images (256x256) to build a huge map but they are a real pain to scroll around. How did you solve this?

Hi Exvee,

this looks really promising. Is there any more info about the hard and software? How did you get the RS232 comms working?
If you can, please send me PM
