Saving the GPS NMEA sentences

[saykhoon]

Hi,

could anyone please demostrate to me how to save the GPS sentences. By the way the sentences are in strings form. I hope to save the strings into a log file so I could read it later on.

Please give me some guidance.

Thanks

I don't have personal experience with this, but I found a couple of links that might help you out:
NMEA example.

You might continue to search through the forums to see if you can find anyone else who has done this. By the way, what programming environment are you using?

Hi saykhoon,

You have been asking questions repeatedly about GPS etc for quite a while and I am wondering if you are making any progress at all.

In an earlier reply I posted a bunch of hints that should have helped but I am not sure if you saw them.

I usually do not do this but becuase you have been so persitant about this GPS topic I may be able to help out.

I just wrote an application about 5 months ago that monitors, displays and logs a GPS feed along with other NEMA feeds if desired. It even supports an interface to "The Capn'n" navigation software to allow you use comercially availalbe navigational charts at the same time.

But like I said earlier, I already gave you a buuch of hints.

Trying to help,

You can write any string to any file by using the Write Characters To File function found in the File palette. Just wire in the file's pathname and wire in the string. You can read the strings back by using Read Characters From File.
