I need some help with this one.
I was using a Garmin GPS18C ‘puck’ type of GPS running at 4800 baud. I had to set the RS232 port to 4800 (9600 is now the default after a new firmware update) and it recognized the GPS on the next restart, so the Baud rate worked. I couldn’t exit the Sync screen. Did I miss something? The only way I could get out of it was by sending a pulse on C0.
The GPS that Alge is selling is running at 9600 baud. I know from talking to Albert, that they are looking for a $GPRMC sentance and a valid satellite signal (this sample is not valid).
