dht_pin = 17
GPIO.setup(dht_pin, GPIO.IN)
# Set up GPS module
gps_uart = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 9600)
while True:
    # Read temperature and humidity values
    temp, hum = read_dht_values(dht_pin)
    print(f'Temperature: {temp:.2f}C, Humidity: {hum:.2f}%')
# Read GPS data
    gps_data = gps_uart.readline()
    print(f'GPS Data: {gps_data.decode()}')
# Sleep for 1 second
    time.sleep(1)
```
