A simple question but I'm finding the answer difficult to find.
With the GPS component (EB056, Generic NMEA), what units does the "ReadGroundSpeed" report. Examining the datasheet, depending on configuration, the module is capable of meters/sec, km/hr or even knots and I'm not sure what config Flowcode uses
Thanks in advance
Chris

Re: GPS Question
Hi Chris,
I believe the GroundSpeed reading is in knots.
The Flowcode GPS component takes the GroundSpeed reading from the RMC message string.

Re: GPS Question
You're very welcome.
Simply multiply the ground speed value by 0.868976 to get MPH.Now, to convert knots to MPH!!!!!!!
