SIMCOM SIM 7000 to get GPS coordinates

at what time interval are you sending the GPS uplink? can you share your entire code?

Well. I just removed the widget and added it again and now it works just fine. Thank you so much for your help. Appreciate it!

hey artem, any chance i can get a copy of that completed code? im trying to set up a lilygo board with a sim7000a and a esp32

@roberttalley76 you can check the code above with addition of

im not sure where any of that needs to go. i havnt seen anything that works or know the format for gps to be sent to cayenne. also brackets and some other formatting issues seem to be an issue when posting to here.

char latBuff[12], longBuff[12], locBuff[50], altBuff[12];
float lat = -113.053020080;
float lon = 50.06766842;
float alt = 1051.8;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Hello ");

// Auto-detect the GSM serial baud rate. You can manually set it instead if you want to save a bit of space.
TinyGsmAutoBaud(gsmSerial);
Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID, gsmSerial, apn, gprsLogin, gprsPassword, pin);
}

void loop() {
Cayenne.loop();

dtostrf(lat, 1, 8, latBuff); // float_val, min_width, digits_after_decimal, char_buffer
dtostrf(lon, 1, 8, longBuff);
dtostrf(alt, 1, 1, altBuff);
// Construct a combined, comma-separated location array
sprintf(locBuff, “%s,%s,%s”, latBuff, longBuff, altBuff); // This could look like “10,33.123456,-85.123456,120.5”
delay(100);
// Construct a combined, comma-separated location array
Cayenne.virtualWrite(2,locBuff,“gps”, “m”);
buffer1[0] = ‘[’;
size_t offset1 = 1;
dtostrf(x1, 1, 3, &buffer1[offset1]);
offset1 += strlen(&buffer1[offset1]);
buffer1[offset1++] = ‘,’;
dtostrf(d1, 1, 3, &buffer1[offset1]);
offset1 += strlen(&buffer1[offset1]);
buffer1[offset1++] = ‘,’;
dtostrf(z1, 1, 0, &buffer1[offset1]);
offset1 += strlen(&buffer1[offset1]);
buffer1[offset1++] = ‘,’;
dtostrf(a1, 1, 0, &buffer1[offset1]);
offset1 += strlen(&buffer1[offset1]);
buffer1[offset1++] = ‘]’;
buffer1[offset1] = 0;
Serial.println(buffer1);
}

Thats what i got. and without adding anything its got some issues like:\

“Will love for help”

that x1, d1, z1 should be lat, lon and alt which you are measuring from the sim700a
