GNSS HAT Library Documentation

Driver library for Jimmy Paputto GNSS HATs on Raspberry Pi. Handles the u-blox UBX protocol, threading, receiver configuration and provides a high-level API in C++, C, and Python.

You can purchase our HATs at jimmypaputto.com - but still, if you have custom u-blox hardware, most of the code will still be useful.

Key Features

  • Multi-language API - C++, C, Python
  • UBX protocol oriented - NAV-PVT, NAV-SAT, NAV-DOP, MON-RF, NAV-GEOFENCE, TIM-TM2 + many more supported OOTB, any other required msg can be added easily
  • RTK support - centimeter-level positioning with RTCM3 base/rover corrections just in few lines of code
  • Geofencing - up to 4 circural zones with configurable hardware relay and state connected to geofences status
  • Jamming detection - per-band RF interference monitoring
  • GPSD integration - NMEA forwarding to virtual serial port for any legacy implementation
  • Thread-safe - event-driven, no busy-wait loops
  • 1–25 Hz measurement rate (depends on configuration and hardware)
  • Visualisation UI App check out features instantly, don’t waste your time for complex setup, dowload, install and check if given feature suites you
