Hello,
I bought the Venus GPS (gps-11058) and a usb to TTL converter, which has a regulated 3.3v output, (dev-08531) and I thought should be sufficient. I've wired the 3.3v output from the usb-mb5 to the venus along with the tx and rx to the tx0 and rx0 on the venus. And they are crossed -- tx -> rx0, rx -> tx0.
The venus is definitely getting power (the LED lights up). And my laptop saw the usb-mb5 and I installed the drivers. The com port is configured to 9600 and the SkyTraq GPS Viewer is set to the right com port and baud. But the gps viewer cannot communicate with the Venus itself.
Can somebody point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you,
Rich
