Tripmate GPS Info

Archiver

Here's a link on using the Tripmate. It shows you how to wire up the
Tripmate to hear its own ASTRAL command (which is needed to start the
Tripmate).

Paul,

Thanks for all the info. It's VERY helpful. I'm pretty sure I see how to
hook it up now. It's not that difficult at all. Now, if I can only find a
few bits of code to help me get started. :-)

I have a webpage for my balloon program. there I have some code for
operating a balloon capsule, including its on-board GPS reciever. The GPS I
use is a Motorola model, but reading the data is the same. Check out
www.ksu.edu/humec/knsp/ Under capsule construction is a software page.
There you will find a subroutine for sending commands to the GPS and reading
the altitude from the GGA sentence.

I'll try to get some time to post more.
