The project involves a software-defined GPS receiver using the legacy C/A code to produce clock bias and location estimates. It can run from pre-recorded sample files or an RTL-SDR with a web-based dashboard for visualization. The project is written in Python, utilizing libraries like aiohttp, NumPy, Pydantic, and pyrtlsdr.
The article describes a project where someone developed a software-defined GPS receiver from scratch using Python and an RTL-SDR dongle. The project tackles the 'coarse' positioning capability of GPS, achieving location resolution within 24 seconds from a cold start. The article highlights the project's accessibility and potential as a starting point for further exploration of GPS technology.
