GPS with Parallax Serial Terminal Object

bingo

Hello,

Would someone please tell me what’s wrong with this code. The GPS module puts out a single ASCII string once per second. I have double checked all pins, baud rates, ports etc.
I get no response on the terminal.

You need to use two Parallax Serial Terminal objects. Something like this (not tested but does compile)

VAR
  byte MyString[60]

CON
  _clkmode = xtal1 + pll16x
  _xinfreq = 5_000_000
OBJ
  pst : "Parallax Serial Terminal"
  pstGPS : "Parallax Serial Terminal"
  
PUB start | ok

dira[14] := 0                            ' Set Rx pin to input.

  pst.start(115200)                      ' Start Parallax serial terminal.

  pstGPS.StartRxTx(14, 15, 0, 4800)         ' Set up for GPS transfer.
  repeat
    pstGPS.StrInMax(@MyString, 10)          ' Start GPS transrer.
    pst.str(@MyString)                        
    waitcnt(clkfreq + cnt)

Wow, John that really worked. I spent 2 days trying to get a result. Many Thanks
