I want to increase the baud rate on the bn-880 and increase it to 5 locations per second. How can I do that with an arduino mega? I am using this code and get 1 location per second. Don't have much else to say just wanna know how.
#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(115200);//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("");
}
}
