    yes, the link is www.auav.net. He has spent a couple
    years developing the system and is wanting to sell it
    rather then share it. I don't dislike him for that by
    any means. I would much rather learn some of this on
    my own. I am a student in industrial technology and
    this is the perfect project for a group I am in.

    Thanks again
    Matthew Klarich

    Cory -

    You may want to take a look here as well: [noparse][[/noparse]
    http://www.edx.com/products/mim.html ]
    as that MIM module seems to come up often in telemetry discussions, and in
    Amateur Radio RF links and projects. I'm just looking into it now, for a
    possible commercial effort.

    I am looking to use a 12 channel GPS receiver to fly
    my R/C airplane around. I have found someone who
    created one of these but he used a much faster chip
    then the stamp 2. I want to get the basics down first
    and in order to do that I need to decipher the NMEA
    data that the GPS receiver is emitting. Does anyone
    have that data so I do not have to spend hours walking
    around and seeing the differences in the code?

    Thanks much,

    RE: [noparse][[/noparse]basicstamps] NMEA commands?

    Hi Matthew,

    I was doing some readup in the past about GPS and interfacing one with a MC. I also wanted to build some interface to my computer in my car. That's when I bumped into this one site. It is elaborate - but, of course does not cover everything. I'm sure there will be other links.

    http://www.dip.ee.uct.ac.za/~ahenric/oncorhtm.html


    Also, try searching using Google search engine. You'll be surprised how many there are out there about this subject.
    www.google.com


    thanks
    nagi

    you might want to look at my site
    http://www.inetport.com/~davisele/fc.html

    I did it by looking at the manuals for the gps card
    getting the data into the stamp wasnt difficult but it was in string format.
    I spent a fair amount of time parsing out the data and then converting it
    into numeric format. If you want to control a vehicle then I am sure you
    want a number for a location rather that a string representation for a
    location. There was a guy that posted his codee for the string conversion
    about a year ago - you might want to check the archives - his code on the
    format conversion was a little more cleaner and compact than mine.

    I wanted to get the data in binary format but was too lazy to do that (all I
    really wanted was to ask the gps its last known position - and then receive
    an answer)

    Here is a simple way to read in NMEA data....

    This reads the important data from RMC, GGA, and GSA strings... it converts
    the data on the fly and can read fastenough to read all the data for each
    sample that is sent each second. Hope this saves you time/space.
    serin GPSRX, GPSBaud, GPSTimeout, ReadGpsNoData, [noparse][[/noparse]wait("RMC,"), Wait(","),
    SampleStatus, skip(1), dec5 Lat, skip(1), dec1 LatDec1, dec1 LatDec2, dec1
    LatDec3, Dec1 LatDec4, skip(1), LatRef, skip(1), dec5 Lon, skip(1), dec1
    LonDec1, dec1 LonDec2, dec1 LonDec3, Dec1 LonDec4, skip(1), Ref, skip(1),dec
    speed, wait(","), dec heading, wait(","), dec1 DateD1, dec1 DateD2, dec1
    DateM1, dec1 DateM2, dec1 DateY1, dec1 DateY2, wait("GGA,"), dec1 TimeH1,
    dec1 TimeH2, dec1 TimeM1, dec1 TimeM2, dec1 TimeS1, dec1 TimeS2, Wait(","),
    skip(1), wait(","), wait(","),wait(","),wait(","), wait(","), dec NumSats,
    wait(","),wait(","), dec alt, wait("GSA,"), wait(","), x]
