#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX
void setup()
{
// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("uBlox Neo 8M");
// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
mySerial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() // run over and over

Serial.write(mySerial.read());
}
All the examples NOT RUN FOR ME (Attaching Example)
#include "TinyGPS++.h"
#include "SoftwareSerial.h"
SoftwareSerial serial_connection(10, 11); //RX=pin 10, TX=pin 11
TinyGPSPlus gps;//This is the GPS object that will pretty much do all the grunt work with the NMEA data
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);//This opens up communications to the Serial monitor in the Arduino IDE
serial_connection.begin(9600);//This opens up communications to the GPS
Serial.println("GPS Start");//Just show to the monitor that the sketch has started
}
void loop()
{
while(serial_connection.available())//While there are characters to come from the GPS
{
gps.encode(serial_connection.read());//This feeds the serial NMEA data into the library one char at a time
}
//if(gps.location.isUpdated())//This will pretty much be fired all the time anyway but will at least reduce it to only after a package of NMEA data comes in
{
//Get the latest info from the gps object which it derived from the data sent by the GPS unit
Serial.println("Satellite Count:");
Serial.println(gps.satellites.value());
Serial.println("Latitude:");
Serial.println(gps.location.lat(), 6);
Serial.println("Longitude:");
Serial.println(gps.location.lng(), 6);
Serial.println("Speed MPH:");
Serial.println(gps.speed.mph());
Serial.println("Altitude Feet:");
Serial.println(gps.altitude.feet());
Serial.println("");
}
}
This is an example that I downloaded from YouTube.
The example work 100%.
while(serial_connection.available())//While there are characters to come from the GPS
{
gps.encode(serial_connection.read());//This feeds the serial NMEA data into the library one char at a time
}
The encode() method returns a value. Ignoring that value is silly.
