I am having some difficulties sending Long, Lat, and other data via Bluetooth.
Hardware used:
GPS Shield (Software Serial pins(2,3))
Bluetooth Mate Silver (UART pins(0,1))
Arduino UNO R2
Few things I have done already:
I have used AT command to set the baud rate to 4800 (same as GPS) and also I have set it to 9600, and 115200 none of these settings work. I have also tried to set the BT Module to a slave or master. The only data that is displayed is:
CHARS=0 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=0 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=0 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
Here is my Sketch:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <TinyGPS.h>
/* This sample code demonstrates the normal use of a TinyGPS object.
It requires the use of SoftwareSerial, and assumes that you have a
4800-baud serial GPS device hooked up on pins 3(rx) and 4(tx).
*/
TinyGPS gps;
SoftwareSerial ss(2, 3);
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(4800);
ss.begin(4800);
Serial.print("Simple TinyGPS library v. "); Serial.println(TinyGPS::library_version());
Serial.println("by Mikal Hart");
Serial.println();
}
void loop()
{
bool newData = false;
unsigned long chars;
unsigned short sentences, failed;
// For one second we parse GPS data and report some key values
for (unsigned long start = millis(); millis() - start < 1000;)
{
while (ss.available())
{
char c = ss.read();
// Serial.write(c); // uncomment this line if you want to see the GPS data flowing
if (gps.encode(c)) // Did a new valid sentence come in?
newData = true;
}
}
if (newData)
{
float flat, flon;
unsigned long age;
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon, &age);
Serial.print("LAT=");
Serial.print(flat == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flat, 6);
Serial.print(" LON=");
Serial.print(flon == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flon, 6);
Serial.print(" SAT=");
Serial.print(gps.satellites() == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_SATELLITES ? 0 : gps.satellites());
Serial.print(" PREC=");
Serial.print(gps.hdop() == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_HDOP ? 0 : gps.hdop());
}
gps.stats(&chars, &sentences, &failed);
Serial.print(" CHARS=");
Serial.print(chars);
Serial.print(" SENTENCES=");
Serial.print(sentences);
Serial.print(" CSUM ERR=");
Serial.println(failed);
}
I am guessing the reason it is not receiving the data is due to the baud rate but I have been unable to get it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
