Title: GPS only printing ****
Post by: arturoservin on June 20, 2017, 12:22:55 AM

Hi

I am using the sample code for the gps-tinyshield (TinyShield_GPS.ino)

It seems that the GPS is recognized but the output it is only *'s.

Sats HDOP Latitude Longitude Fix Date Time Date Alt Course Speed Card Distance Course Card Chars Sentences Checksum
(deg) (deg) Age Age (m) --- from GPS ---- ---- to London ---- RX RX Fail
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**** **** ********* ********** **** ********** ******** **** ****** ****** ***** *** ******* ****** *** 63 0 0

I changed the bauds to 4800 and 9600 and same output.

Any idea of what else I need to change?

Thanks

It could be not receiving a signal. Try it outside where the gps is not obstructed by buildings.

I tried but not much of luck. I live in high density area, so I will try to go someplace else and try.

Also, any idea of how to build an antena. A simple wire would do? Any specific length?
