Start GCOM integration research #9

Overview

The main task we have right now is to send GPS coordinates through the serial port, to the antenna consistently. We are planning on using GCOM to get these coordinates. Since GCOM is written in Python, ideally we would want to find a way to make a python file to send these coordinates serially.

Things to figure out:

how GCOM sends/contains coordinates, really how it works.
how to get coordinates from GCOM.
how to send coordinates to serial port using Python.

We are planning to stick with our Arduino unit for now. I am going to look into methods we can use to send coordinates via serial port using python.
