i want to Serial communicate my two boards together and the GPS is also communicating Serial can i have any example code
After that many posts you should know that is not how it works.
Make a start and ask what you are stuck on.
ok here are the two Programs one is the main that is printing the GPS data that code is
#include <math.h>
#include <nmea.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <NewSoftSerial.h>

and here is the code that is reading the data
#include <math.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <NewSoftSerial.h>

pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
myLCD.clear();
myLCD.home();
}
void loop() {
if (newboard.available()>0){
int d=newboard.read();
myLCD.setCursor(0,0);
myLCD.print("D:");
newboard.read(d);
myLCD.print(d);
myLCD.print("m");
float mydir;
myLCD.setCursor(1,1);
if (mydir < 0) {
myLCD.print("TURN LEFT");
}
else {
myLCD.print("TURN RIGHT");
}
myLCD.print(abs(mydir), DEC);
myLCD.print(223, BYTE); // print °-character
myLCD.setCursor(8,0);
if (d < 5)
{
myLCD.clear();
myLCD.home();
myLCD.setCursor(8,0);
myLCD.print("TRGET OK");
}
}
...and the second part of Mike's post?
2board??
Braces need to match.
i mean 2 say 2nd board
the DATA is not displayed on the LCD
Does it even compile?
This won't help:
void setup() {
2board.begin(4800);
void setup() {
newboard.begin(9600);
This open brace is not closed:
if (newboard.available()>0){
int d=newboard.read();
they both are compiling but they are not communicating
Your code as posted cannot compile for a number of reasons, so why don't you stop this?
k then i have changed the code
#include <math.h>
#include <nmea.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <NewSoftSerial.h>

The compiler is telling you that it cannot generate code to read a float
can you tell me what i have done wrong
float dest=newboard.read(float d);
candidates are: int NewSoftSerial::read()
i.e. NewSoftSerial.read() doesn't take a parameter, and you are passing it a float.
ok
i want my data that is coming from Board No.1 should send data to board no. 2 that is d or my DIR etc
So, you need to concentrate on transferring floating point numbers between processors.
Forget all else.
How?
Just put all the GPS stuff out of your mind and concentrate.
Look you just tell me how to receive that data through Serial port on another board please
You need to develop a protocol.
Put your floating point number between distinctive, non-numeric delimeters.
