Title: GPS shield getting time fix but no location fix
Post by: ablanca4 on April 15, 2015, 07:46:35 PM

Hi all,

I am currently trying to get the tiny gps shield to work on my device. I am using the tinyduino++.h file to parse all the nmea sentences and printing the location and time to a serial monitor. Upon uploading the sketch, after about 30 seconds the time shows up perfectly however the location still states INVALID. I have let it sit for upto 45 minutes and came back still to see that it hasn't got a location fix.

I am running the device outside in open skies. I don't know if its the code I am running or if the unit is busted.

Any information is greatly appreciated. I have also attached the sketch to the file if anyone wants to look at that.

Thank you all.
