C soure code for use with the Linux operating system.

gpspc
A program to display NMEA data from an EM-411 GPS module.
Added some functionality:
support for the SPC01 pressure, altitude, magnetic heading, and temperature module,
and support for the MPU6050 acceleraton, rotation and temperature module.
Both are connected to the PC par port using iic protocol.
So now there are 2 temperature sensors and indications...

NEW
Added open GL display with fancy airplane.

The airplane responds to the acceleration and rotation sensors :-).
