GPS Device Interface.
Connects to GPS device over a serial port or other device connection and reads data. Supports GPS devices sending standard NMEA format data (specifically the GPRMC, GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGRME, and optionally GPGSV, PGRMZ, PGRME, HCHDG/T/M and GPHDG/T/M messages). If your GPS device supports several data formats or modes, select NMEA output in its configuration.
The preferred method of creating and setting up a new ArGPS object is to use ArGPSConnector, which creates an instance of ArGPS or a subclass, and creates and opens its device connection, based on command-line parameters. (To manually create an ArGPS object, create an ArDeviceConnection instance and call setDeviceConnection(), then open that device connection and call connect().
For either method, to get new data from the GPS, must call read() or readWithLock() periodically, ideally at a rate equal to or faster than your GPS sends data (usually one second). You can do this from a Sensor Intetrpretation Task in ArRobot, or a seperate thread. If you are calling read() from a loop in a new thread,
Here is an example of calling readWithLock() from a sensor interpretation task. The integer argument given to the functor constructor is a milisecond timeout that is passed to readWithLock() and prevents it from blocking too long if it doesn't read any data. It is important to do this in a robot task, or the robot task cycle will be blocked and cause problems.
myRobot->addSensorInterpretationTask("GPS read", 100, &gpsReadFunc);
If you use your own loop or thread, then it ought to include a call to ArUtil::sleep() for at least several hundred miliseconds to avoid starving other threads, since read() will return immediately if there is no data to read rather than blocking.
For each piece of data provided by this class, there is a flag indicating whether it was received from the GPS and set. Not all GPS models return all kinds of information, or it may be disabled in some way in a GPS's internal configuration, or the GPS may not yet have started sending the data (e.g. still acquiring satellites). Also, not all data will be received by one call to read(), and especially immediately after connecting and starting to read data, it may take a few seconds for data to be obtained. Furthermore, it may take some time for the GPS to calculate data with full accuracy.

This class is not inherently thread safe. Stored data is updated by read(), so if accessing from multiple threads, call lock() before calling any data accessor methods (methods starting with "get"), or read(), and call unlock() when done. You can also call readWithLock() to do a locked read in one function call.
- Note
- ArGPS only provides access to the data reported by a GPS. The position reported by a GPS is in degrees on the surface of the earth (WGS84 datum), not in the cartesian coordinate system used by the robot odometry or ArMap. You can use the subclasses of Ar3DPoint (ArLLACoords, etc) to convert between different geographical coordinate systems, which may help you match GPS coordinates to the robot pose coordinate system.
