Title: New guy here.... Reading Serial Monitor issue- GPS
Post by: Mengquist on November 16, 2023, 06:45:12 PM
So I am new and having issues with reading the serial data with the GPS tracker. 
Setup: Aurdino IDE 2.2.1
Cannot upload with serial monitor on...  So I upload the GPS code given without it.  It pushes fine
Then open serial monitor and see nothing but question marks and characters...
Baud has been tried at 4800 and 9600 and both fail to work.

Any advice to help?  I am sure it is something stupid.
Note that the Baudrates have always matched line 1 to serial monitor

If you're using the code from this tutorial https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Projects/GPS-Tracker-Data-Logger_Tutorial/ then it looks like lower down the actual processor board baudrate is set to 115200. The GPS and SerialMonitorInterface baudrates are separate.

Could you try setting the baurdrate to 115200 in the Arduino Serial Monitor and see if it works?
