OUT OF DYNAMIC MEMORY? Please help!

HI. I am making an Arduino GPS tracker with an adafruit GPS module, an OLED display, and an SD card module. However, I ran out of dynamic memory. Here is my code and does anyone know how i can decrease the size of my code or use flash memory to make it work. I am currently at 113% and i need less than 100 :slight_smile:

Any help is appreciated!

#include <Adafruit_GPS.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include <avr/sleep.h>
#include "GPSconfig.h"
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>


#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>

#define OLED_RESET 4
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(OLED_RESET);

#define NUMFLAKES 10
#define XPOS 0
#define YPOS 1
#define DELTAY 2

// Ladyada's logger modified by Bill Greiman to use the SdFat library
//
// This code shows how to listen to the GPS module in an interrupt
// which allows the program to have more 'freedom' - just parse
// when a new NMEA sentence is available! Then access data when
// desired.
//
// Tested and works great with the Adafruit Ultimate GPS Shield
// using MTK33x9 chipset
//    ------> http://www.adafruit.com/products/
// Pick one up today at the Adafruit electronics shop 
// and help support open source hardware & software! -ada

SoftwareSerial mySerial(8, 7);
Adafruit_GPS GPS(&mySerial);
/* set to true to only log to SD when GPS has a fix, for debugging, keep it false */
#define LOG_FIXONLY true

// Set the pins used
#define chipSelect 10

File logfile;

// read a Hex value and return the decimal equivalent
uint8_t parseHex(char c) {
  if (c < '0')
    return 0;
  if (c <= '9')
    return c - '0';
  if (c < 'A')
    return 0;

}


void setup() {
  display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C);  // initialize with the I2C addr 0x3D (for the 128x64)
  // make sure that the default chip select pin is set to
  // output, even if you don't use it:
  pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
  
  // see if the card is present and can be initialized:
  //if (!SD.begin(chipSelect, 11, 12, 13)) {
  if (!SD.begin(chipSelect)) {      // if you're using an UNO, you can use this line instead
  }
  char filename[15];

    if (! SD.exists(filename)) {
      break;
    }
  }

  logfile = SD.open(filename, FILE_WRITE);
  
  // connect to the GPS at the desired rate
  GPS.begin(9600);

  // uncomment this line to turn on RMC (recommended minimum) and GGA (fix data) including altitude
  GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCGGA);
  // uncomment this line to turn on only the "minimum recommended" data
  //GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_OUTPUT_RMCONLY);
  // For logging data, we don't suggest using anything but either RMC only or RMC+GGA
  // to keep the log files at a reasonable size
  // Set the update rate
  GPS.sendCommand(PMTK_SET_NMEA_UPDATE_1HZ);   // 1 or 5 Hz update rate

  // Turn off updates on antenna status, if the firmware permits it
  GPS.sendCommand(PGCMD_NOANTENNA);
}

void loop() {
  char c = GPS.read();
  // if a sentence is received, we can check the checksum, parse it...
  if (GPS.newNMEAreceived()) {
    // a tricky thing here is if we print the NMEA sentence, or data
    // we end up not listening and catching other sentences! 
    // so be very wary if using OUTPUT_ALLDATA and trying to print out data
    //Serial.println(GPS.lastNMEA());   // this also sets the newNMEAreceived() flag to false
        
    if (!GPS.parse(GPS.lastNMEA()))   // this also sets the newNMEAreceived() flag to false
      return;  // we can fail to parse a sentence in which case we should just wait for another

    // Rad. lets log it!
    
    char *stringptr = GPS.lastNMEA();
    uint8_t stringsize = strlen(stringptr);
    if (strstr(stringptr, "RMC"))   logfile.flush();

  display.clearDisplay();
  display.setTextSize(1);
  display.setTextColor(WHITE);
  display.setCursor(0,0);
  display.println(GPS.hour, DEC); display.print(':'); display.print(GPS.minute, DEC); display.print(':'); display.print(GPS.seconds, DEC);

  display.setCursor(20,0);
  display.println(GPS.day, DEC); display.print('/'); display.print(GPS.month, DEC);  display.print("/20");display.print(GPS.year, DEC);

/* End code */

I don't see much you can do without removing libraries.
Maybe time to move up to a '1284P with 16K SRAM.

The GPS module needs to be small. does anyone know of an Arduino board with enough memory that is relatively small?

Small enough?

What are the dimensions of the square one
