I have no idea what you are asking? What 3 lines? Where?
Im using the library they said to use. How do I find out what library im supposed to use?
They said use TinyGPSPlus. I used TinyGPSPlus.
Hi there,
Also Go have a look at this thread & the code I provided, Especially the Soft Serial.
Never mind it’s a Nrf example, the same thing runs on C3 I have that on here also.
Look through it, and KNOW softSerial requires you spell it out for the params.

Hi there,
Ok, So I must know How long have you been writing code?
Do you ever use the compiler?
Do you have the Verbose output turned on in the prefs?
What is the Version of the BSP you are using?
I’m gonna go do some errands while the spammers are taking over the forum, You should go read that thread I provided and the Back to Basics for Arduino IDE compiler 101 threads too.
I’ll be back later to check on things.

several years, but just know what I am familiar with.
I only use compiler, i dont know how else you would do it?
I have no idea what verbose is.
newest version of everything
This thing may be more trouble than its worth, i just dont know what to do or where to get support at. I may can email supplier, they may know how to get it to work.
From the desk to the floor…
I just gotta try to return them. I was expecting at least a working example, but it looks like no one has even done it with this same set up. Live and learn, should have tried to compile it before i bought them I guess, or asked if anyone knew how to set it up. I may can try the arduino forum, those guys are pretty helpful there.
lol… the problem is with you my friend… so you gonna need a pretty big box to ship that back… my stuff works fine… if you decide to throw them away you can send to my house
HI there,
So they are probably NOT defective… You must know this isn’t a "Plug and Play " tech, yes it’s based on some standards but there are not ONE size fits all in these type devices. Different manufacture require different LIBRARIES is really all. You still glue them together in a sense with your code and vision for the program. I’m Glad you got the second one, The compiler is the only REAL way , what I was asking or indicating is While it builds and tells you what steps it’s at, The errors sometime provide the answer. If you have the “Verbose” mode turned on, It will give even more readable messages that help narrow down issue and fix the incompatibilities(bugs) between your code the hardware.
The Board support package is what is provided by the manufacture or IDE to use a specific board. The issue comes up ALOT. It’s the boards TAB in Arduino. are you using that or PlatformIO?
I do Believe the same code for the AIR530 works on the GNSS module with some adjustments of course. You can throw in the towel or Go read the WiKi again and Look to the board support packages. some require older ones to run like the examples. Know this too Not all the ESP ones are backwards compatible. That stuff is out of Seeeds Purview.
it’s NOT rocket science but does require a procedure or process to get it going. You CAN do it, if you put in the effort.
read the threads, read the Wiki, look at more examples come back and ask some Q’s

he is doing something wrong in the arduinoIDE… i just hope he doesnt google the arduino forum… because those same clowns are spreading misinformation over there… talking about updating firmware and throwing your computer out a window and then washing it in the sink to get all the bad viruses out…
Hope you have not been frightened off.
Have you installed ESPSoftwareSerial lib? Maybe try.
I am running a Xiao ESP32-S3 atop the L76K GNSS module (photo below).
From the TinyGPSPlus library’s examples, here is what I have found. In all instances where the code ran fine, insert/edit these lines where appropriate.
static const int RXPin = D7, TXPin = D6;
static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;
Examples:
BasicExample.ino – no joy
DeviceExample.ino – no joy
FullExample.ino – no joy, but gets the correct time…
KitchenSink.ino – works, follow above insert/edits, but the data flies so fast is not fun to look at.
SatElevTracker.ino – works, again follow above note.
SatelliteTracker.ino – works, follow note above, and kinda fun with the serial spew as you can read numbers and start to visualize the umbrella of sats above.
UsingCustomFields.ino – works, and maybe I get around to using this one in particular later.
Also, try this one as it works also:
If you wanna give us a try again, come on back and maybe can get this sorted out.
All the best,
In my haste to compose above, neglected to address some of the issues raised further above…
Use Espressif’s ESP32 board core (BSP), which at present is 3.1.1. Find that in your IDE boards and install. Do not use the Arduino core.
You should see something like this on compile at top (scroll right to see “packages” folder):
FQBN: esp32:esp32:XIAO_ESP32S3:PSRAM=opi,EraseFlash=all
Using board 'XIAO_ESP32S3' from platform in folder: C:\Users\mkapo\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\3.1.1
Using core 'esp32' from platform in folder: C:\Users\mkapo\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\3.1.1
Install the ESPSoftwareSerial from the IDE library panel. This resolves the Arduino SoftwareSerial situation you encounter. It works out like this:
Alternatives for SoftwareSerial.h: [[email protected]]
ResolveLibrary(SoftwareSerial.h)
-> candidates: [[email protected]]
Hoping you find this useful.
All the best,
I use the TinyGPSPlus ESP Library
Do the examples in the TinyGPSPlus-ESP32 run any better than the vanilla var?
I was gonna flash latest Meshtasx on my boards, and just wanted to address this post before moving on with that.

Hi there,
yea, So the first three will go on a C3 
IF you use the older BSP, i.e. 3.0.7

I’m still waiting on the confirmed SHIPPED , TWO S3/lora boards to arrive…
Like Ye’ say’s " my life is Dope, & I do Dope Stuff "
gonna get some NODES going… soon 
I get some 5$ GT-U7s on the way…going try stuff em in the N30 cases…bwahahaha!
