I'm using the sketch below from your product page and am not receiving the data your product page says I should.  What is the problem with your sketch please?

This is what i see in serial monitor:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Initializing Flash Memory...

Determining write/read start point...
Done.

Send 'y' to start read mode. Write mode will begin in waitTime seconds...

Now initiating write mode.

Attempting to wake GPS module.. done."
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I've tried several times over several years to get your products working, and after another full afternoon (6-8 hours) of trying to get this working without success, I will likely put on shelf again.

This is the sketch I am using from your product page:

//  TinyCircuits GPS Tracker Tutorial Program
//  Last updated 27 February 2017 (1.02)
// 
//  Using the GPS TinyShield, the Flash Memory TinyShield, and the TinyDuino,
//  this program turns the stack into a miniature GPS tracker and data logger.
//  The code detects which sentence is being read and formats the string accordingly.
//  In order to reduce the number of writes, we write one NMEA sentence per 10 seconds,
//  which can be modified.
//
//  With the Telit SE868 V2 module with Glonass support, some messages come through
//  as GN** sentences instead of GP**. These are changed back to GP** before logging
//  so that they don't cause problems with programs like Google Earth.
//  Some GPS modules have been shipped with 4800 baud instead of 9600- try this if
//  you see bad data.
//
//  The Software Serial library should be modified for a larger buffer- 256 is enough
//  for GGA and RMC sentences at 1Hz. In SoftwareSerial.cpp, the change looks like:
//  #define _SS_MAX_RX_BUFF 256
//
//  Written by Ben Rose & Lilith Freed for TinyCircuits, http://tinycircuits.com

Hello,

You mentioned you found this program from the product page. I believe the full starting tutorial might help point you in the right direction: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Sensors/GPS_TinyShield_Tutorial/

It looks like the example you are using is from the "GPS Tracker and Data Logger" project tutorial that requires some additional hardware other than a processor and GPS TinyShield. Are you using all of the same hardware that is referenced in the tutorial? You can see the full tutorial here: https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Projects/GPS-Tracker-Data-Logger_Tutorial/

Let me know if that helps, or if you run into any other questions!

I noticed you had some other comments on multiple threads ranging from recently to a few years ago - to keep things organized I will work on responding to this thread that you started and disregard the other comments, so please make sure to ask any outstanding questions in this thread.

Thank you,

Réna

Hi Rena, I hope you are well.
As mentioned, I endured the metioed problem, I thought...

What I learned is that the stack was working, but I thought not because the serial monitor doesn't show the data.  When I checked the SD card, there was data being written I wasn't aware of.

Great job, thanks!

Glad the issue could be sorted out!

Thanks for the update!
