I might have asked this before but am not sure so here goes again.
I got it to compile but I am not sure its correct.
Original

ss = new SoftwareSerial (GPS_RX_PIN, GPS_TX_PIN, GPS_INVERT, GPS_BUFSIZE);
	ss->begin(GPS_BAUD);

My changed code:

ss = new SoftwareSerial (GPS_RX_PIN, GPS_TX_PIN);
	ss->begin(GPS_BAUD);

Does it work? Can you send/receive serial data via SoftwareSerial to whatever device it is that you need to connect?

I don't know if it works. By that I mean I don't know if this is my problem or is the problem elsewhere.
The intent is to drive a servo motor thru an ADAfruit 815 servo controller.
Is there some reading I can take at the servo controller to see what is getting there.?

This Controller? Looks to me like that uses I2C. Why are you trying to connect to it with a serial interface?

That's a great question gfvalvo. This is not my sketch and since it appears that the servos are not working I had assumed that the softwareserial was the problem since Softwareserial was the only thing that I changed.
I will have to look deeper.
