GPS python send message to Azure iot from Linux device

Hi guys, from Linux with python I can send messages to Iot Azure with the code below, but could you also extend on how to pass with it GPS, please?

import os
    import asyncio
    from azure.iot.device.aio import IoTHubDeviceClient
etc

from simple_send_message from python azure sdk

simple_send_message.py
Sending message...
Message successfully sent!

device_client = IoTHubDeviceClient.create_from_connection_string("<your connection string>")
with open("/dev/pts/26", "wb+", buffering=0) as term:
        while True:
        	data = str(term.read(26).decode(), end='')
                message = Message(data)
                device_client.send_message(message)

        sys.stdout.flush()

This should work. There is nothing special about sending data you receive from a GPS to the Hub. The Azure SDK is completely generic - it does not care where your data comes from. Just put it in a message, and send.

I can’t say I have a particular insight into that scenario, but as I said, if you wish to send data to Azure IoT Hub, the Device Client will do it over MQTT. The client does not support any other protocols for sending data to Azure IoT Hub.
