HK'GCS(Ground Control Station) and GPS tracing CEST,Lucknow

HK'GCS
Happy killmore GCS is Open source Ground control station which accept NMEA,SIRF,uBLOX,Media tek,Ardu-pilot,Ardu-pilot mega as a data input.
What basically a HK GCS do is that it receive the Input String and Parse it and display the various important information stored in it under the various tags in the graphical user interface screen.

vii) HDOP
viii) DATE,TIME.
ix) Inclination of refrence frame of aeromodel(If using MAVLINK PROTOCOLand GYRO & ACCE)


and than these all information are displayed on the screen alonf with displaying the Position of GPS on the GOOGLE earth by linking the XML files to google earth.Google earth after getting the data automatically focus on the desired GPS point and i was amazed to saw the acccuracy and clearity of the zooming ,it was approx 268 ft above the ground.

what i did that i simply connect the GPS TX pin to the RX pin of Xbee pro(Details in the XBEE section) and power them both with the 5V battery and on the laptop side i simply plug in the the Xbee pro to Laptop at COM port 22 and in HK GCS GUI simply connect the Xbee at 9600 baud rate and start receving the data and rest was on the coding of HK GCS.

Thanks to HAPPY KILLMORE for this wonderfull sotware.we are also working on the same type of thing slowly but steadily.This software is made in c#.
