I am not getting correct strings of A and C NMEA sentences when switching from an arduino uno with Softserial libraries, to a Teensy 3.6 using hardware serial ports instead of softserial.
//Make sure to install the adafruit GPS library from https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GPS-Library
#include <Adafruit_GPS.h> //Load the GPS Library. Make sure you have installed the library form the adafruit site above
//Load the Software Serial Library. This library in effect gives the arduino additional serial ports
#define mySerial Serial1
Adafruit_GPS GPS(&mySerial); //Create GPS object
String NMEA1; //We will use this variable to hold our first NMEA sentence
String NMEA2; //We will use this variable to hold our second NMEA sentence
char c; //Used to read the characters spewing from the GPS module
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200); //Turn on the Serial Monitor
GPS.begin(9600); //Turn GPS on at baud rate of 9600
mySerial.begin(9600); //Start receiving info on serial1
GPS.sendCommand("$PGCMD,33,0*6D"); // Turn Off GPS Antenna Update
GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCGGA); //Tell GPS we want only $GPRMC and $GPGGA NMEA sentences
GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_UPDATE_5HZ); // 1 Hz update rate
delay(1000);
}
void loop() // run over and over again
{
readGPS(); //This is a function we define below which reads two NMEA sentences from GPS
}
void readGPS(){ //This function will read and remember two NMEA sentences from GPS
clearGPS();
while(!GPS.newNMEAreceived()) { //Keep reading characters in this loop until a good NMEA sentence is received
c=GPS.read(); //read a character from the GPS
}
GPS.parse(GPS.lastNMEA()); //Once you get a good NMEA, parse it
NMEA1=GPS.lastNMEA(); //Once parsed, save NMEA sentence into NMEA1
while(!GPS.newNMEAreceived()) { //Go out and get the second NMEA sentence, should be different type than the first one read above.
c=GPS.read();
}
GPS.parse(GPS.lastNMEA());
NMEA2=GPS.lastNMEA();
Serial.println(NMEA1);
Serial.println(NMEA2);
Serial.println("");
}
void clearGPS() { //Since between GPS reads, we still have data streaming in, we need to clear the old data by reading a few sentences, and discarding these
while(!GPS.newNMEAreceived()) {
c=GPS.read();
}
GPS.parse(GPS.lastNMEA());
while(!GPS.newNMEAreceived()) {
c=GPS.read();
}
GPS.parse(GPS.lastNMEA());
while(!GPS.newNMEAreceived()) {
c=GPS.read();
}
GPS.parse(GPS.lastNMEA());
while(!GPS.newNMEAreceived()) {
c=GPS.read();
}
GPS.parse(GPS.lastNMEA());
}
Any suggestions please? I look to further integrate this code with more senors, so I would like to to be robust when it comes to timing. I feel like the NMEA string is coming in too fast.
