GPSP (GPS front end program for PSP)
One of our users who calls himself ?Art? has done some really impressive work turning the PSP into a GPS navigation system. He provides the hardware how-to with circuit diagrams and pics, as well as the Lua app which is loaded on the PSP. He is having some trouble with the Lua script slowing down, perhaps some of you uber-devs out there could give him a hand!
Hi Guys, this is the first version of a program for the PSP that provides a practical GPS Graphic User Interface (GUI). The GPSP software for Sony PSP runs under LUAplayer 0.11 or later. LUAplayer is free. If you haven’t downloaded it, you will need to get it running on your 1.50 firmware PSP in order to try this out for yourself.
Well, as it exists at the moment, it will allow you to view data from a GPS Mouse on the screen of your PSP running the GPSP program. This occurs in real time, however there is a delay from when the data is received by the microcontroller circuit, and retransmitted at the slower rate to the PSP. The pic circuit is also filtering information from the NMEA sentences transmitted by the GPS mouse, and discarding any information that GPSP doesn’t use so that minimal bytes are retransmitted by the pic circuit to achieve (or try) the fastest transmission that GPSP will interpret.
You can get the the GPSP files in our PSP Download section [here].
