GPS Problem with Arudino Due

Projects Programming
1

Hello,
I´m using the Arduino Due Board with a Sparkfun Venus GPS Module (SparkFun Venus GPS Logger - SMA Connector - GPS-10920 - SparkFun Electronics) and a GPS antenna.

I´ve tried with the Tinygps libary but did not see any results. "chars" were recieved but no "sentence". I striped down my programm to test the GPS functions only. (Code is somewhere from the internet)

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial2.begin(9600);

  Serial.println( F("Echo test") ); 
}

void loop()
{
    while (Serial2.available())
      Serial.write( Serial2.read() );
}

First I did upload the sketch to my board and opened the serial monitor, "Echo test" would appear as wanted. Afterwards i would connect my GPS Module. I would expect to see raw GPS sentences in this NMEA Format or something. But I just get a Message, which I belive is some information on the GPS Module and afterwards I get hieroglyphs. Since I got the first message i guess my baudrate setting is correct. (Tried it on other settings, no results nor do I get this first Message)
The Module indicates a "fix" with a blinking LED. And those hieroglyphs change in style when the Module indicates a "fix" with the LED. Therefore I assume my GPS is actually working but somehow I dont get the right Information.

I attach two pictures, one of the first message + hieroglyphs prior to "fix" and the second one is after getting the "fix".

I hope someone might be able to help me here. I also went outside but the same kind of message kept comming in.

Thanks in advance.

But you are keeping the code and the message a secret. I'll keep the answer a secret, too then.

I attach two pictures

Where?

Me too, I was testiing my tracker programs on a DUE a couple of hours ago.

The code works.

so this isnt right?

No. You've got that part right.

What is NOT right is the lack of links to the hardware and the lack of code.
