Hi all,
I'm new to the Arduino. I have the Mega2560 with the GPS Logger with the Lassen IQ. The logger is working, I do have files created on the SD card, but no GPS data on the Serial monitor. I'm now tryging for more than 2 weeks and still don't have any data out of the Lassen. Nothing on the Serial monitor.
I'm using the new SoftSerial 11 and nothing ! I even bought a second GPS module to be sure the first one was not dead. For now I'm just trying to get some data out of that thing.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Mega 2560, GPS logger and Lassen IQ

Re: Mega 2560, GPS logger and Lassen IQ
use an oscilloscope or logic analyzer (or similar) to check the TX and RX pins, are you seeing data coming out at all?

HI,
Unfortunatly I don't have an oscilloscope.
But i finally got some data, but on pin 50 and 51, not on any UART !
Here is the code I'm using :

Here is the code I'm using :
Code: Select all
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(50, 51);
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(57600);
Serial.println("Goodnight moon!");
// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
mySerial.begin(4800);
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(4, LOW);
}
void loop() // run over and over
{
if (mySerial.available())
Serial.print((char)mySerial.read());
}
