We are trying to log GPS data using the listed parts from above.· These parts will be placed inside an RC Airplane and used to track the planes coordinates, speed, altitude, and heading.· We are novice PBasic Programmers and have attempted to create a program but we've been unsuccessful.· We are looking for any suggestions/help on making this come together.· We were able to test the GPS module and the data logger separately with no problems due to the given test programs, but we are unable to make them work together.· Thanks in advance for any assistance you can be.

It's an old acronym from when I first started learning the BS2e (in isolation). I suppose I should switch over someday, but I do like how SCRAM is a real word.
Once again, SRLM, thank you for your help.
The battery pack is located under the foam.· It seemed to me that the GPS module worked better with the 9V battery·than the 4 x 1.5V battery pack, even though the board works with both.· Maybe this is just a coincidence.
