Example GPS sketch error

Post by satwatcher »

I just bought the Adafruit "5V-friendly GPS Breakout" (http://www.adafruit.com/products/746) and am trying to use it with my Arduino Uno. I hooked it up (5V-5V, GND-GND,RX-Pin3,TX-Pin2) and tried to run the sample sketch (https://raw.github.com/adafruit/Adafrui ... S_Test.pde) linked on the product page. I am getting a 'SoftSerial' does not name a type" error (see attached screen shot).

Is this a problem with the sample code or is this a case where I need to import a new library? Can anybody guide me with this? Sorry if this seems simple but I'm very new to Arduino. I'm running Arduino 1.0 software on an Linux Ubuntu 10.04 desktop.

Thanks!

I believe it should be "SoftwareSerial" instead of "SoftSerial" for use with the Arduino 1.0 IDE>
