Summary: Using u-center, electrical + me and Vinny confirmed the GPS modules to work. Running u-center directly on the RPi is not feasible, so we need a way to retrieve the data from the modules without another application. This would be done through reading the serial port directly.
Description: This class should be built upon in the future. As of right now, our plan is to see if directly reading from serial port(with no 3rd party/u center app) on the RPi is possible, and use that GPS data for our needs in navigation. Further progress should be made with ROS and integrating into the MVP in mind.
For ROS: this would need to be wrapped in a node to broadcast positional data to other nodes.
Test Plan: need to run this on a RPi connect to GPS client to see if long/lat are retrieved.
