[0xA4] Latitude
Help > Sensor Types > [0xA4] Latitude

         The return value is a 4-byte wide value that stores latitude similarly to NMEA text format “ddMM.mmmm,N|S” (NMEA requires 11 bytes). WGS84 geodetic datum is expected.

 

[0ddd.dddd.s1MM.MMMM.00mm.mmmm.mmmm.mmmm]

 

bit: 0…13              Decimal fraction part of minutes.

bit: 14…15             00.

bit: 16…21             Integer part of minutes.

bit: 22                   1.

bit: 23                   Sign bit. 1 specifies South, 0 specifies North.

bit: 24…30             Degrees.

bit: 31                   0.

 

Example: N 50°25.6760' = 50.427933° = NMEA “5025.6760,N” is 0x32591A68.

 

Value 0xFF?????? specifies a sensor error. Conversion to the decimal degrees is d + M.m / 60.

         FRC 4-byte: FRC return value equals unmodified return value.
