I have been working on the GPS sensor with photon. I am trying to get the latitude and longitude which is not coming. I also included gp20u7_particle code in build.particle. gps.read() is always throwing 0. Please help me on this.
Note: We included gp20u7_particle.h library in our code and used the “basic-example.cpp” in our photon.
Did you get this working?
I am using the same GPS Sensor on an Electron.
I simply connect the TX to Serial One RX and on power up the serial data can be read quite easy.
All I will say is it takes a very long time to get the LAT and LONG data.
It sends something like $GPRMC,V,N*93 if it has not locked.
When locked then full data is available.
I am unsure which way up this should be or if an external antenna can be used to increase sensitivity.
