BN-880 GPS and TinyGPS++ Library

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi, I am a novice when working with Arduino, and I wanted to make myself a GPS Speedometer.

I bought a BN-880 and am using my UNO. I found the TinyGPS++ library and am trying to make them work together. The problem i am having right now is that, when i run the "FullExample" from the library, the only numbers that seem to come up are under the "Chars RX" and the "Checksum Fail", while everything else is "*****" Image here: Arduino Serial Monitor - Album on Imgur

I am sure I have wired everything properly, the only thing I've done different is that:

The Example says RXPin = 4, TXPin = 3
But I've put the TX pin into 4 and put the RX pin into 3, which gave me some feedback in the Chars RX. If i follow the the example, i get 0 and a "No GPS Detected, check wiring"

If someone can please help me out, it would greatly be appreciated. I am not sure if my wiring is wrong, if im missing a component, etc. I saw this video, using the BN 880 and an arduino micro, but it was not much help.

Thanks in advance!

Read the first topics telling "How to use Forum", "How to attach code….".
My chrystal ball is sent for polishing so I need to ask You to attach the code, if it is not secret.

Always a good idea to post the actual code you are using, often that is where the problem is.

You said the only change you made to the fullexample was to change the pin allocation for TX and RX.

Try changing the GPSbaud to 9600 as well.

Hi.

What do your raw NMEA sentences look like? That is a useful starting point for troubleshooting.
