Hi, I am using the GPS Bee and have got it working, except the data string it’s outputting is strangely missing characters from a standard NMEA string. I have tested it outside, I am using the standard antenna, I have tried different serial readers, I’m really not sure what the problem is, if anyone could help it would be really appreciated.
[code]#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_A7, STREAM=HOSTPC) //HOST PC STREAM
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_A3, rcv=PIN_A2, STREAM=GPS) //GPS MODULE STREAM
void TEST_GPS(){
unsigned char c;
fprintf(HOSTPC, “Now starting to test GPS\n”);
while(1) {
c=fgetc(GPS);
fprintf(HOSTPC, “%c”, c);
}
}
void main(){
TEST_GPS();
}
[/code]
This is the code I’m using to read the GPS Bee, and this is the data I am getting from it:
