C Code for GPS

NWCCTV

Just wondering if anyone has any SimpleIDE code for the PMB 648 GPS Module. I have some Spin code and I suppose I could attempt to convert it if necessary but I think I would still need a library for it, correct? I doubt Parallax will be doing anything for it since it has been replaced but if anyone knows where I could start I would appreciate some advice.

Hey Andy -

The PAM-7Q GPS Module does have GPS code that runs in SimpleIDE:

I'm wondering if it would work without changes on the PMB-648.

I will give it a try. What would it take to make Arduino code work in SimpleIDE?

Andy,

I used spin2cpp to translate a GPSPropeller spin project that was developed from I.K

Thanks, I will give this a try also.

This code will break up a serial stream into individual NMEA strings.

@dgately, I get the following error at the end of compilation:

Timeout waiting for ACK/NAK

error: SendPacket DATA failed


error: load failed

I'm sure it is something simple but not sure what!!!

Ah, you may need to reset the Project Options in SimpleIDE (requires being in Project View)... Board type should be for your particular propeller board (Activity Board? Seems that Activity Board SDXMMC does NOT work, here!). And, you'll need to reset the Memory Model to LMM or CMM or even any other one model once you'v changed the board type.

As soon as I did the above, re-compiling worked without issue...
