This project is a demonstration of an IoT GPS data logger which integrates into the ArcGIS platform. It was featured in this blog post which gives more details of the developer technology we have used.
It has been designed to work on a Raspberry Pi Model 3B+ (or higher model) with a USB GPS receiver.
The project uses an early adopter version of the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Java specifically compiled to work with Arm Linux platforms such as the Raspberry Pi or Jenson Orin units. The Java Maps SDK with support for Arm Linux can be requested by emailing ARM64LinuxNative@esri.com. This will install the libraries needed for this app in a Maven Local instance. This is a temporary way of getting the SDK whilst it is in Beta. Subsequent releases will be available in a public maven repository.
The project includes the Gradle wrapper, so there is no need to install Gradle to run the app.
- Set up your Raspberry Pi by following the instructions in this page.
- Create a
devdirectory in your home directory using the command line:mkdir dev - Open the directory by entering
cd dev - Clone the repository by entering
git clone https://github.com/mbcoder/gps-logger.git - The app can be run by entering
sudo ./gradlew run
Note that the application needs to be run using sudo so that the Pi4J libraries have sufficient permission to access the Raspberry Pi hardware.
