I'm returning to my PICAXE projects after a couple of years of attempting to retire and failing ;-) I am iniitally constructing a digital clock with some unusual features, mainly using PICAXE modules. The time source is an Adafruit Chronodot RTC. All this ought to go smoothly - although I may come to regret writing that.
In a complete failure to keep things simple, I've now started thinking about how to use GPS time, when available, to update/set the RTC. I have read all the material I can find on this forum about NMEA parsing and getting PICAXEs to do 9600 baud (not helped by the search field refusing 'GPS' as a search term), so my questions right now are:
. Has anyone got experience of interfacing a PICAXE to a recent GPS breakout such as the one from Adafruit (<https://www.adafruit.com/product/746>)?
. Bearing in mind that one would have to write code in any case, is there any point in using something like the AXE210 for parsing/serial buffering?
. Does anyone have experience of using the AXE210 for this purpose (as opposed to using it for 433 MHz comms)?
I am finding the AXE210 material rather confusing, probably because the module is designed to do so many things.
Thank you all for your patience.
