Geolocation on WiPy 2.0 (MicroPython) without GPS Module, only WiFi

About this Repository

This code uses a WiPy2.0 and the Google Geolocation API as a Geo-Datalogger without GPS.

Example

from geoposition import geolocate

ssid_ = <your ssid>  							#usually defined in your boot.py file
google_api_key = <API_KEY> 					  	#get from google
geo_locate = geolocate(google_api_key, ssid_)	#geo_locate object

valid, location = geo_locate.get_location()
if(valid):
	print("The geo position results: " + geo_locate.get_location_string())

The class initializer receives the following arguments

• google_api_key: Google API key that you get clicking on the link available here;
• wlan_check_interval: It defines the wait time between checking for new WiFi signals (in seconds (default = 1));
• mcc: Mobile Country Codes (MCC) (default=262 -o2 Germany), you can find some values here;
• mnc: Mobile Network Codes (MNC) (default=11 -o2 Germany), same as mcc.
