BS2 to Arduino Mega serial communications

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

I am trying to get a GPS sensor (using Parallax BS2) to communicate with my arduino Mega 2560. To start with I am trying to send a simple, repetitive signal (eg. "10" or something) using serial (8N1) to the digital input of the arduino, and then print out the first 16 bits to see if I can find the pattern and isolate the stop bit etc... Here is my arduino code:

I can't figure out what the bits/second from the BS2 but I've included the BS code below the arduino code. I'm new to the whole programming word so please be gentle.

ARDUINO CODE

int BS2receive = 2;

int counter = 0;

void setup() {
  
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(BS2receive, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // only do this 16 times
  if (counter < 16) {
    // read and print input
  int inputState = digitalRead(BS2receive);
  Serial.print(inputState);
  counter++;
  delay(1/19200);        // delay in between reads to match with baud from BS2
  }
  else
  {}
}

BASIC STAMP CODE

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.0}
result VAR Word
Main:

SEROUT 0, 32,[0]

GOTO Main

FYI, the "#" CODE button is for posting code.
Click the MODIFY button.
Highlight the code.
Click the "#" CODE button , and it will create a scrolling window for the code.

Thanks for the tip!
