Learn to extract and convert UTC time and date from GPS NMEA sentences using a Raspberry Pi Pico W in this 49-minute tutorial. Discover how to utilize dual-core processing with one core continuously reading NMEA sentences from an Adafruit Ultimate GPS module while the other core parses the data, preventing UART buffer overflow and ensuring accurate location data. Configure your system to parse GPS time and date information from NMEA sentences, then convert UTC values to local time for display on an SSD1306 OLED screen. Master the techniques for handling GPS timing data as part of building a comprehensive GPS tracker project, with practical demonstrations of multi-core programming on the Raspberry Pi Pico W platform.
