Beetle communication with GPS NEO6MV2
Hello, I try to connect my GPS NEO with Beetle board, but nothing good…
Before that I did the same (same GPS and same code) with an arduino nano and all worked ok.
So I suppose the way to connect the GPS with the Beetle is quite different but all my tests didn't succeed. I need your help to explain me what is wrong, and if it exists special parameters.. When the code runs all GPS value are 000000 in monitor display.
I also use a Servo into my code and it works fine.
See the code:
```
#include <TinyGPS.h>
#include <Servo.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
Servo myservo; // create servo object to control a servo
TinyGPS gps;
SoftwareSerial serial1(0, 1); // is it good parameter ??
void setup()
{
//Serial.begin(9600);
serial1.begin(9600);
pinMode(0, INPUT); // do I need PULLUP ??
pinMode(1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}
void loop()
{
bool newData = false;
unsigned long chars;
unsigned short sentences, failed;
// For one second we parse GPS data and report some key values
for (unsigned long start = millis(); millis() - start < 1000;)
{
while (serial1.available())
Serial.println("serial1 available");
{
char c = serial1.read();
//Serial.println(analogRead(A0)); // for test
//char c = analogRead(A0); // for test
//Serial.write(c); // uncomment this line if you want to see the GPS data
if (gps.encode(c)) // Did a new valid sentence come in?
newData = true;
}
}
if (newData)
{
float flat, flon;
unsigned long age;
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon, &age);
Serial.print("LAT=");
Serial.print(flat == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flat, 6);
Serial.print(" LON=");
Serial.print(flon == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flon, 6);
Serial.print(" SAT=");
Serial.print(gps.satellites() == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_SATELLITES ? 0 : gps.satellites());
Serial.print(" PREC=");
Serial.print(gps.hdop() == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_HDOP ? 0 : gps.hdop());
Serial.println("servo job");
}
float flat, flon;
unsigned long age;
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon, &age);
Serial.print("LAT=");
Serial.print(flat == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flat, 6);
Serial.print(" LON=");
Serial.print(flon == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flon, 6);
gps.stats(&chars, &sentences, &failed);
Serial.print(" CHARS=");
Serial.print(chars);
Serial.print(" SENTENCES=");
Serial.print(sentences);
Serial.print(" CSUM ERR=");
Serial.println(failed);
if (chars == 0)
Serial.println("** No characters received from GPS: check wiring **");
}
```
Thank You
Erwann.
