der_mof · 06-15-2007, 06:29 AM

Hi ther, like i said in the title, i am looking for a peace of software that writes te GPS speed (in KM per hour) to a TXT file. (and only the GPS speed, nothing else)

All the programmes i tested did a hole lot of things, but a simple thing like only writing te speed tot a TXT file was to much to ask for.

I am trying to get the GPS speed into my bumpercamvideo and the only thing i need now is the speed, so please help me

well, if you are using road runner, you can use this autoit script:

Code:

$file = FileOpen("c:\gpslog.txt", 1)
$index = 0
If $file = -1 Then
	MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
	Exit
EndIf
$rr = ObjCreate("RoadRunner.SDK")
while 1
	$spd = $rr.GetInfo("GPSSPD")
	FileWriteLine($file, $index & "," & $spd)
	$index = $index + 1
	sleep(7500)
wend
FileClose($file)

it basically queries RR for the gps speed that its displaying every 7.5 seconds and saves it to c:\gpslog.txt. It does not close the file untill you kill road runner and it throws an error... I could have made it better but I am lazy and it works.
