I am trying to read NMEA GPS data from a module and am slowly trouble shooting issues!
I am now able to recieve data using "Serin" but have not yet actually received anything intelligable. I am recieving TTL level serial data (I can see it on the oscilloscope) but the picaxe will not read it as intelligable ascii. Having re-consulted the data sheet for the GPS module it is supplied in the following format:
9600baud, 8 data bits, 1 start, 1 stop, no parity.
I can see that the picaxe will support 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop and no parity but I cant see anything anywhere (I havent managed to find any timing diagrams) about start bits.
Does anyone know if I can configure the picaxe to read this data format or am I out of luck with this module?
Cheers,
Darryl
