Hi all,

I am integrating a GPS receiver into one of my easypic4 development board Port. I want it to get the coordinates of the Northing and easting location of the receiver. How do I go about writing the codes to initialise the GPS receiver modules into the easypic4 port and get the northing and easting coordinates of the location?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks. =)

Which port ? who will decide port ?
which GPS receiver ?
where you wants to diplay coordinates after received ?
are you want whole code? or wirtten something ?

Which port? RS232? PS/2? SD card? Power? Programming? Port of Entry?

Practice...practice...practice...

The GPS module i'm using is a 32 Channel 5Hz GPS Receiver with MCX Jack.

This is the link containing the information about it :

I want to display the coordinates on the LCD display on the easypic4 development board.
Any help on the codings would be appreciated.

Thank you.

This thread is a good start.

You will have to find how to get your module to output NMEA data. The coordinates are in the $GPGGA, $GPGLL or $GPVTG words. You can communicate with most GPS using Serial communication.
See how you go.
