micropyGPS
A full-featured GPS NMEA-0183 sentence parser for MicroPython and embedded platforms, also compatible with Python 3.
What is micropyGPS?
micropyGPS is a Python library that parses NMEA-0183 sentences from GPS receivers. It converts raw serial data from GPS modules into structured information like latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and satellite details. It solves the problem of interpreting low-level GPS data streams in embedded systems and Python applications.
Developers working with MicroPython on embedded platforms (PyBoard, ESP32, Raspberry Pi) who need to integrate GPS functionality, as well as Python 3 users processing GPS data logs or real-time feeds.
Developers choose micropyGPS for its embedded-first design, reliability in noisy environments, and comprehensive feature set—all in a single-file, pure-Python implementation. It's a direct, lightweight alternative to writing custom NMEA parsers.
