TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Help with GPS code please

« on: October 27, 2014, 09:34:20 AM »

I followed the tutorial at http://www.instructables.com/id/Tinyduino-LEGO-GPS-battery-powered-Logger-DIY/?ALLSTEPS for a GPS logger with LEDs.

Unfortunately I've not had any success with the GPS getting a signal and logging to the SD.

The code is attached. Please could someone take a look and see why it isn't working.

Many thanks.

User Projects / Code Examples / Google Earth unable to read GPS Cat Tracker NMEA file

« on: October 23, 2014, 03:16:54 PM »

I followed the GPS Cat Tracker tutorial and have a gps.txt file written to the microSD card. Lots of raw data inside. I correctly renamed the file so it was no longer a txt extention but .nmea

Google Earth is unable to read it. I get a "Loaded no data" message appear. I also tried converting it on gpsvisualizer.com without luck. "No valid GPS data detected!"

I was also hoping to introduce the 16 Edge LEDs shield. I used the Sketch from this tutorial: http://www.instructables.com/id/Tinyduino-LEGO-GPS-battery-powered-Logger-DIY/?ALLSTEPS

Unfortunately it seems like the GPS never gets a signal. All that happens is the lights flash around the edge which is the sequence for searching for satelites. 

I've attached the NMEA file if it helps someone with better knowledge.
