Python Script for Location Updates

Below is a simple python script to automate location updates to the emulator.

	# Karun Matharu (ksm113@imperial.ac.uk)
	# Imperial College London
	# A simple python telnet script to connect to the emulator on
	# localhost 5554 and issue geo fix commands
	import sys
	import telnetlib
	import getpass
	import time
	import random
	HOST = "localhost"
	PORT = 5554
	TIMEOUT = 2
	# Sleep time between each location update
	TIME_GAP = 4
	# Starting values for longitude and latitude
	lon = 50.000000
	lat = 50.000000
	tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, PORT, TIMEOUT)
	print tn.read_some()
	while (True):
	a = random.random()
	b = random.random()
	lat = lat + a
	lon = lon + b
	s = "geo fix " + str(lon) + " " + str(lat) + "\n"
	tn.write(s)
	print(s)
	time.sleep(TIME_GAP)
