You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:

In this video I will show you how we can use one core on the Raspberry Pi Pico W to continuously read the NMEA sentences from the Adafruit Ultimate GPS, and use the other core to parse them. We configure the program to ensure the UART buffer does not overflow, creating corrupt and stale location data. Then we have added a small SSD1306 OLED display to the project that shows location data from the GPS. Enjoy!
We are actually pursuing building a GPS Tracker, and this is the gear we will be using in this class:
