The RAKwireless RAK11200 WisBlock WiFi Module module is based on an Expressif ESP32 processor which is supported by the .NET nanoFramework and I wanted try out it out with a RAK1910 GNSS GPS Location Module.
The RAK WinBlock Pin Mapper tool output for RAK1910, RAK5005-O WisBlock Base Board and RAK11200

The test application is based on the TinyGPSPlusNF library by MBoude which parses the NMEA 0183 sentences produced by the RAK1910.
public class Program
{
private static TinyGPSPlus _gps;
public static void Main()
{
Debug.WriteLine($"devMobile.IoT.RAK.Wisblock.Max7Q starting TinyGPS {TinyGPSPlus.LibraryVersion}");
Configuration.SetPinFunction(Gpio.IO21, DeviceFunction.COM2_TX);
Configuration.SetPinFunction(Gpio.IO19, DeviceFunction.COM2_RX);
_gps = new TinyGPSPlus();
// UART1 with default Max7Q baudrate
SerialPort serialPort = new SerialPort("COM2", 9600);
serialPort.DataReceived += SerialDevice_DataReceived;
serialPort.Open();
serialPort.WatchChar = '\n';
// // Enable the with GPS 3V3_S/RESET_GPS - IO2 - GPIO27
GpioController gpioController = new GpioController();
GpioPin Gps3V3 = gpioController.OpenPin(Gpio.IO27, PinMode.Output);
Gps3V3.Write(PinValue.High);
Debug.WriteLine("Waiting...");
Thread.Sleep(Timeout.Infinite);
}
private static void SerialDevice_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
// we only care if got EoL character
if (e.EventType != SerialData.WatchChar)
{
return;
}
SerialPort serialDevice = (SerialPort)sender;
string sentence = serialDevice.ReadExisting();
if (_gps.Encode(sentence))
{
if (_gps.Date.IsValid)
{
Debug.Write($"{_gps.Date.Year}-{_gps.Date.Month:D2}-{_gps.Date.Day:D2} ");
}
if (_gps.Time.IsValid)
{
Debug.Write($"{_gps.Time.Hour:D2}:{_gps.Time.Minute:D2}:{_gps.Time.Second:D2}.{_gps.Time.Centisecond:D2} ");
}
if (_gps.Location.IsValid)
{
Debug.Write($"Lat:{_gps.Location.Latitude.Degrees:F5}° Lon:{_gps.Location.Longitude.Degrees:F5}° ");
}
if (_gps.Altitude.IsValid)
{
Debug.Write($"Alt:{_gps.Altitude.Meters:F1}M");
}
if (_gps.Date.IsValid || _gps.Time.IsValid || _gps.Location.IsValid || _gps.Altitude.IsValid)
{
Debug.WriteLine("");
}
}
