GPS and LoRa Tutorial with M5Stack in Arduino IDE

GPS and LoRa Tutorial with M5Stack in Arduino IDE.
Building on the LoRaReceiver and LoRaSender example sketches for the LoRa 868 module on M5Stack Core, I add the AT6558 GPS unit to the LoRaSender and do a mashup of the GPS_AT6558 and LoRaSender example sketches in Arduino IDE and send GPS data to the LoRaReceiver.

Example sketches:
M5Stack / Modules / LoRa433_SX1278 / LoRaReceiver and LoRaSender
As demonstrated, these are simple sketches that just need to be adapted for the scenario.
M5Stack / Basics / Display
This shows how to overcome the issue where data scrolls off the screen on the receiver. Set cursor to specific location and overwrite.
M5Stack / Unit / GPS_AT6558 / FullExample
Complex display with lots of data, more than needed.
I want to concatenate all desired data into a single string for LoRa packet transmission. I had two problems. Defining the string variable as 'char' gave me an error converting 'int' types when concatenating. So I went with the String function to over come this. But I could not easy get the float precision for latitude and longitude that I desired until I found the dtostrf() function.

Very interesting! Looking forward to seeing how well this will work on your rocket!

Another amazingly enlightening tutorial! When it comes to technical wizardry ShotokuTech makes the Wizard of Oz look like a doddering old man hiding behind a curtain (oh wait a minute.. )

Is possible to transfer data from an M5stack to another one? For example there is a weather app on one of them and I want to install it on another M5stack. Is it possible?
