Ok, this is going to be a strange request that I didn't think I needed to make. This is the situation: I made a "reverse geocache box" for my father's birthday which my family is celebrating in Spain this week (25 April). It's a box that only opens in a specific location and reveals a gift. I'm from the Netherlands and tested the box thoroughly in my own country. Now I'm in Spain with the box, but without my laptop, and to my dismay discovered that it's no longer working. The reason? The code that checks is there's a satellite gps fix checks if the coordinates are > 0. In the Netherlands, this works great. Unfortunately Spain is west of Greenwich...

I have the code in the cloud. I just need someone local with some experience and a computer with st-link who has a STM32 environment set up (the project is using the stm32f103 "blue pill"), so that I can reprogram with the one line fix without spending too much time away from family. I'm near Granada and have a car.

I realize it's a long shot, but I thought I could ask :). Let me know if you think you can help! I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks a lot in advance...
Niek

Looks like he's OK on the code side, just needs the hardware for programming.
Who ever travels without a laptop   :scared:

"I'm near Granada and have a car"
The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.
