Hi All,
I installed a GPS Bee onto my Stalker 3.1 and I struggle to make it work.
The GPS Bee works perfectly with the UartSBee v5 and the u-center. I do get a signal. All fine here.
My troubles begin when I fix the GPS Bee onto the Stalker. I use the pins 0/1 , pin 9 for electricity and TinyGPS as library. - and i am getting no info from the GPS module in the serial display. How can that be? i really have no idea, and i would be very happy if somebody could give me an idea of what to do or where to look at.
Thanks a lot!
and the code is here:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <TinyGPS++.h>
/*
This sample sketch demonstrates the normal use of a TinyGPS++ (TinyGPSPlus) object.
It requires the use of SoftwareSerial, and assumes that you have a
4800-baud serial GPS device hooked up on pins 4(rx) and 3(tx).

int RXPin = 0;
int TXPin = 1;
static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;
// The TinyGPS++ object
TinyGPSPlus gps;
// The serial connection to the GPS device

{
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
