Hello all,
I'm currently working on a simple GPS project using a EM-406 module that displays the Latitude and Longitude to a LCD screen. I'm using a 8052 microcontroller for parsing the NMEA data. The strange problem I'm having is that when the GPS module is connected to the microcontroller and LCD circuit the module can never get a fix but, when the module is the only thing connected to power it gets a fix fast. I'm not an expert at electronics but could there be a noise problem? If there is what could I use to clean up the noise so everything works together? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Caleb
