Hi! It looks like the attached examples and datasheets are for a microphone rather than a GPS sensor. Do you have some code for the GPS sensor that you could post?

Thanks!

Hi Tim!

Thank you for catching that! The files have been updated with the GPS Sensor.

Thanks for the code!. I'm using a GP-635T and your code help me a lot.

Hi Sunaina,

                        I tried to reuse your code but I couldnt make it work at a baudrate of 9600 bps. I configured it at 4800 bps and it finally worked.

Do you have any idea why?

Thanks for the code, ( before knowing that the robotic toolkit have the "GET GPS DATA.vi" I spent quite a long time developing the same functionality , good to know I can use this VI instead   )

regards,

Erwin Franz
