Okay as discussed in the last post I am still project blocked by a failure on my part to get the TI talking with the GPS.  Undoubtedly something simple but as of yet unknown.

 

I had found mention of someone else having similar issues and getting answers on the forum 43oh site.  It appears that basic browsing and searching without a user account will yield no information so here I will connect to that site.

Here we have the basic view once you have connected and NOT logged in with a user account.  Looks promising!

 

(Well Technically I would think the view would be the same even if you are logged in.)

Here we have the result of trying to go deeper into any of those interesting forums and not having an account.

 

If somewhere it states you need to have an account to view those threads I missed that in my excitement to discover a solution to my problem.  :-)

 

So lets follow the tested advice from on registering and then the site opening up for access!

Ah the basics, time to sign up and get some more emails!

Oddly enough it didn't show it in the cut and paste but you do get a popup saying to check your email and confirm.  So off to my email and clickity click.

Tada.  I am now a registered user and and able to jump into the Energia subforum!  Woohoo!

Let's try doing a search on gps to see if that pulls up what I have been looking for and anyone else experimenting with it.

 

Nope 0 results found.  Hmm...

GSM?  Nope.

By the way, don't be too quick in your search efforts or else you get this!

 

So no go with searching.  Or at least with my new experience to their search options.  I did try using the author option and apply the gentleman's name that was talking about the problem on the other site but couldn't find that either.

So let's start browsing through the forum manually.  Only 1,524 topics available.  :-)

Wait what?  Why is this back?  I went to double check something while writing the blog...

 

Ah it seems that it has a super fast auto-logoff.  Sigh...

Not sure if they kick you at an hour or what.  You can see I am the newest member of an hour ago.

 

Okay.  End of the blog for now.  I will need time to browse those 1.5k topics.  :-)

    Ah, I think you mean blog 8.   I will have to try and figure out the best loopback option.  I was actually using the offered com port code by Energia to test with, which kind of made me confused on why I was seeing nothing since conveniently it was testing a GPS!  :-) 

     

    I am hoping that 43oh forum might have some clues as well. 

  • It's worth checking the comments that people posted on your 7th blog. There are ways to verify if serial communication is working. Look at Jon's and mcb's posts in particular.

    You can use a loopback to read back what you are sending.

    If that works, it's up to checking if it's related to the 3V / 5 conversion ...
