Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield - Receiving errors

Post by Smoothtalker »

Hi All, just received my gps logger shield kit, got all the pins connected and tested

i copied down the entire adafruit gpgs library, and put it into the sketch folder as directed
I am currently working through the setup/tutorial, and ran into a few issues
i am receiving data back from the unit when viewing the serial monitor (location, date, time, etc), i got through the "soft serial connect" step in the tutorial, but moved on to the parsing section and started to get errors.
I changed the line "SoftwareSerial mySerial(3, 2);" to "SoftwareSerial mySerial(8, 7);" but when uploading to the UNO R3 I am using, i am receiving a bunch of errors in the log;

parsing:35: error: 'Adafruit_GPS' does not name a type
parsing.pde: In function 'void setup()':
parsing:59: error: 'GPS' was not declared in this scope
parsing:62: error: 'PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCGGA' was not declared in this scope
parsing:69: error: 'PMTK_SET_NMEA_UPDATE_1HZ' was not declared in this scope
parsing:74: error: 'PGCMD_ANTENNA' was not declared in this scope
parsing:83: error: 'PMTK_Q_RELEASE' was not declared in this scope
parsing.pde: In function 'void __vector_14()':
parsing:89: error: 'GPS' was not declared in this scope
parsing.pde: In function 'void loop()':
parsing:120: error: 'GPS' was not declared in this scope
parsing:127: error: 'GPS' was not declared in this scope
parsing:145: error: 'GPS' was not declared in this scope

please help! I have NO idea what any of this means!

Thanks!

Those errors mean that the Arduino IDE cannot find the Adafruit_GPS library. Make sure you have moved the Adafruit_GPS library folder to the correct location, and that you have renamed the folder to "Adafruit_GPS".

Please review our tutorial on Arduino Libraries:
