I bought one of these and I'm not exactly sure how to interface it with the arduino. I see the data logging shield from Adafruit but logging isn't really what I want to do with it.
I have one of these :
So, am I missing something obvious?
The data sheet describes how to connect it to the Arduino:
See page 4. The TX and RX pins allow you to read data from the GPS.
The data sent from the GPS is in NMEA format. The sparkfun site has a link to the NMEA reference manual.
So, it looks like you should have enough information to get the GPS talking to the Arduino.
Do you have it connected? Is it properly communicating? What are you able, or not able to do?
Oh sure - the software end is no problem. I mean how do I physically connect it to an arduino? Is there a basic shield of some sort or an adapter to break out the pins to something bigger?
I see the pin descriptions but they're so tiny I don't know how I'll ever connect them as they are.
Did you get the little cable with it? Can you chop one end off, and spread the wires out?
Sure, I could do that.. I thought there might be an adapter or even a full shield for interfacing with this thing.
No worries - if that's how everyone is doing it then I'll follow suit!
