BS2P and GPS
Someone, a few months ago, gave the command for reading an entire GPS
sentence into the scratch pad of the BS2P. I read up on the SERIN
command, but didn't see how this was done. Can someone send that
command again? also, is there a way to send the contents of the
scratch pad in a SEROUT command?
I'd like to be able to read the GGA sentence of my GPS into the
scratch pad, parse it for altitude data, then send the entire GGA
sentence to a modem connected to a different I/O pin.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
SERIN dpin,baudmode,timeout,timeoutaddress,[noparse][[/noparse]wait("RMC,"),serstr\N]
where N is the number of characters you want to put in the scratchpad
RAM. The timeout allows it to bail out if something goes wrong. Put
the start key for your sequence in the wait modifier.
There is no equivalent statement for SEROUT. You have to get the
bytes and send them out one by one.

I got my syntax wrong for the capture to the scratchpad. It is
[noparse][[/noparse]spstr N] not [noparse][[/noparse]serstr\N]
_not_
> SERIN dpin,baudmode,timeout,timeoutaddress,[noparse][[/noparse]wait("RMC,"),serstr\N]
it should be
SERIN dpin,baudmode,timeout,timeoutaddress,[noparse][[/noparse]wait("RMC,"),spstr N]
This is for the BS2P only, not the BS2, BS2e nor BS2sx. N is the
number of characters you want to capture in the scratchpad RAM (up to
127).

Any way you can think of to make this line of code talk with the new
parallax Quadravox modules instead of going on the LCD displays? Need help
on this if anyone has any ideas.
thanks guys

the my program from my GPS guided truck at
www.stoneflyers.com . It was for a robotics project
continuing into a GPS guided airplane this semester, I
just recently purchased the airplane from a friend and
have a brand new motor for it. All the details of my
project are at www.stoneflyers.com and you just need
to move a couple commas around on my code to receive
the altitude data rather then bearing. Good luck, keep
me posted.

PS. What data modem and radio system are you using,
you can reply in the newsgroup or
mklarich@s.... Thanks much. Matt

I'm building a balloon controller. As a hobby, I launch high altitude
weather balloons. we track and recover them with amateur radio.
A GPS connects to the BS-2P on the controller. The GPS uses
the GGA sentence to operate experiments. The same GPS
sentence needs to be sent to ground stations afterwards. We use
a TNC (modem for radio) and a handheld radio to send the
telemetry down.
I have a website at www.the-one.com/tvnsp
