Learn to extract and convert UTC time and date from GPS NMEA sentences to local time values using a Raspberry Pi Pico W and Adafruit Ultimate GPS module. Discover how to utilize dual-core processing on the Pico W, with one core continuously reading NMEA sentences while the other parses the data to prevent UART buffer overflow and ensure accurate location information. Configure the system to extract UTC time and date from GPS data, convert these values to local time, and display the results on an SSD1306 OLED screen. Master the techniques for parsing NMEA sentence structure to access time and date information, implement proper buffer management to avoid data corruption, and integrate real-time clock functionality into your GPS tracking project using MicroPython programming.
