Hi

I am trying to hook up a Garmin Vista GPS unit to the Javelin controller.· Has anyone tried that?· I tried using the Uart class, but all·I read is junk for the GPS.· Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Did you try inverting the input?

    Yeah, I interfaced a Garmin eTrex to a BS2, and had to configure it to accept 8-bit, no parity, inverted.

    I just recently got my Deluo Lite GPS talking @ 4800 baud to my javeline, works well. I also interface my javelin to the co-processor to do some distance comparisson stuff and logging. I have it turn an LED on once you travel more than a mile from your first aquired position and when you press a button on the breadboard it begins a data dump to the serial port.
