Interfacing GPS receiver module with PIC16F876

[skimask]

For one thing, you're using both HSERIN and SERIN. Which is it? Can't really have both without resetting the serial port pins back and forth between the serial module and general purpose I/O.
And, 2nd, you do realize this is a PicBasicPro forum, not a Proton Basic forum, right? PicBasicPro doesn't do DIMs and I'm not sure, but I don't think Proton does PAUSE.
So, again, which is it?

I am not sure you can use the explicit array approach (Rx[26] = "," etc) as the NMEA sentences are variable length and what might be a comma this time may not be a comma when the field data changes.

I posted code to decode/parse GPS sentences a year or two back.
Have a look at:-

theblackhourse, This section of code does not look right...
'_______________________________

temp2 = temp2 >> 1
temp1=temp2
charcount = charcount + 1
temp2 = RX[charcount]
temp1.7 = temp1.7 OR temp2.2
temp1.1 = temp1.6 OR temp2.1
temp1.5 = temp1.5 OR temp2.0
TX[txcounter] = temp1
txcounter = txcounter + 1
'_______________________________

I beleive the line "temp1.1 = temp1.6 OR temp2.1" should be "temp1.6 = temp1.6 OR temp2.1" Also I think with a little thought you can get this series of lines down to about 10 or so...
