Hi, I am having some issues with my adafruit flora gps module, I have tried talking or should I say listening to its serial output at 9600, 19200 but I can't get any sensible output I just get gibberish, does anyone know the full set of serial parameters this module uses as the basic speed is not cutting it, I have checked the internet but looks like it works out the box with the arudino board so any guidance on number of bits, stop bit and parity would be most helpful.
thanks in advance 
I tried various speeds all the standard ones from 4800 -> 115200 and application that scanned all the speeds I found on a web site and still nothing, played around with data and stop bits as well still nothing that syncs into "real" data, but I am seeing patterns, I have two of the units and get the same behaviour which is why I was thinking the 3.3 -> 5v issue, as my two headed usb adapter was cheap so thought it may be worth a try to do the conversion just to be sure. I suppose worst case it will not do anything 
Shabaz, yes in a nut shell even with the logic converter still same problem, so yes you were right with a USB serial adapter that does 3.3v its fine, so I can only assume a dodgey serial adapter which I will have to investigate further ... happy happy joy joy
