Hi

Can you connect the GPS module directly to a PC and capture the dump the module sends out. That will really help to identify the issue.

With anything to do with UART a USB-TTL gadget such as below is your best friend.

Yes, of course, no problem about that, I'm going to check outside the house, maybe the signal will improve

Hi again both/all!

Try to look at this, very simple way to figure out if you have connection with the gps module or satelite

Look at the hole video ;)

I am going to do tests with all the information obtained from you, I greatly appreciate the help you have given me, I will keep you informed; Right now I can't move from here, I'm doing what I can, with the things that I have.

Sadly I still cannot receive LAT and LONG; but I will keep trying until it is achieved and I find the fault.

Excellent video, perhaps a better antenna or an open place is required :D

Enrique
Best Regards !!!

Flowcode v10 Re: GPS not send LAT_LONG

WORKING GPS !!!!!

I did tests when I was in home, another common detail is that approximately 8 months ago, I worked in a place that was a large and open construction warehouse (there was a good signal there) and I didnt have any problems. Coincidentally I started doing tests a few weeks ago, but in the new workplace (with 2 roofs) one made of concrete and the other of metal structure, the place is not very large; I didn't think that the GPS reception can be affect by the structure, but in fact that affect the signal ; After days trying to achieve the sending of coordinates without success and about to leave the project, the video sent by Jorgen commented the importace of open places for the signal, as the recommendations of the rest of the Flowcode team Chipfryer27, LeighM and Martin who were helping me. Im very thankful with everyone.

Fortunaly it was a logic solution at the problem, just taked some time. :D

Enrique
Thanks and my Best Regards !!!
