TinyDuino Processors & TinyShields / Having trouble with using WIFI and GPS same time

« on: September 30, 2014, 10:02:24 AM »

Device : Tinyduino, Tinyduino WiFi module, Tinyduino GPS module, Tinyduino USB module.

Hi, My name is SunChel Ha

I have a problem issue with using WiFi and GPS same time.

It works fine when i use them separately. But when i used it at the same time. Problem occurs.

I thought that is the problem with sharing A3 pin. Used by ADAFRUIT_CC3000_VBAT  A3 for WiFi, GPS_ONOFFPin = A3 for GPS.

I'm not getting anything from GPS. i waited for 30 minutes to make sure this is working.

What we are trying to do is connect open Wifi, then send gps information via wifi.

Wifi module is working but GPS doesn't.

How can i solve this problem?

// These can be any two pins
