Parallax GPS with simpl_serial

Onni

I just bought a Parallax GPS with the nifty "raw data mode".

I got it running using some example code with FullDuplexSerial.


·serial.start(pin, pin, %1100, 4800)

But I really don't want to tie up a whole COG for less than 100 bytes of communication a second.

And I couldnt get the simple_serial to work. In "normal" mode I get really strange (but stable)·numbers. In inverted mode all i get is Zeroes.
normal: serial.init(pin, pin, 4800)
inverted: serial.init(pin, pin, -4800)

Any ideas?

This code has worked for a number of gps modules of mine.

That is not really what I was looking for.

Your code uses Simple_Serial to receive NMEA183 and decode it.

I wanted to use the Smart Mode (Sorry, not the "raw mode" that I wrote in my last post.)
