hello folks
I am looking to getting my Parallax GPS to work w/ my Mega. I have seen a couple of posts on this regard; but, did not seem to fix my issue.
I tried two routes and both did not seem to work for me. So any help is much appreciated.
Route 1:
The GPS' SIO pin is connected to the TX and RX pins via a switching 1N1914 diode according to this post here:

I do not see any GPS data come thru the Rx pin.
Route 2:
The GPS SIO pin is connected to digital pins 22(Rx) and 23(Tx) digital and by using the "NewSoftSerial", I print 0x01 and do not see anything coe back on the NewSoftSerial::available() count
I also noticed that NewSoftSerial does not have a ::write() method. I hope i am wrong here.
can someone shed some thoughts on what I am doing wrong here.
thank you in advance
