Hi all,
I originally posted this in the Viz 3 forum - it should have been posted here I think so sorry for the re-post :o
I am using pyserial to connect to a GPS unit and a compass module and then apply transforms to the GPS data from within a Vizard script. However, I am now wondering if I am approaching this all wrong? Should I be using a sensor plugin for this purpose :confused: , so that I can use the functionality provided by through viz.link for offsetting etc.??
Am I creating more problems for myself down-the-line by not using a sensor? Do I run the risk of introducing problematic lag within my project by using a python script to access these devices?
Any advise regarding this would be very gratefully received.
Thanks In Advance
