Integrating GPS Device


Maloya Aug 12, 2015 09:11 AM

Hello,
I want to sychronize a CR1000 to the gps signal.
I would like to use the GPS function.
Is this possible with this device? http://www.sparqee.com/portfolio/sparqee-gps/
The GPS Sensor sends the data at a baudrate of 9600.
I checked the wiring and the sensor it works. When I use the SerialIN but not with the prewritten function. Why?

The sensor sends the following sentences in a loop.

The GPS() instruction requires the GPS to be running at 38,400 baud. It also needs to be exporting both the $GPGGA and $GPRMC strings. In addition, if the GPS does not have a PPS wire (1 second pulse), the GPS() instruction will not sync the clock of the logger to the GPS information. It does not looking like the GPS that was listed in your message has this PPS line.

You can use SerialOpen to indicate the GPS instruction needs to use a baud rate other than 38400. See the help in CRBasic on how to do that.
