Abstract:

A ship meteorologic instrument needs true wind speed and true wind direction to determine the ship direction and ship velocity. We design an acquisition program of GPS navigation data with C language and development enviroment of Turbo C2.0, and further implement data communication between a GPS receiver and a ship meterorologic instrument. Experiment shows that the program is stable and reliable and can be applied to other application systems.

 

Key words: ship meteorologic instrument, GPS, serial communication
