hello there,,
i recently received my EM406
+ dev board
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8334
i have used usb to provide power from my PC , and i connected the gps to my hyper terminal in order to have an idea about the data it sends..
i get what seems to be nmea format,, but messages give utc time only.. the gps doesn't seem to get a lock..the led is red (not blinking as it should)
i 've tried taking it outside,, many times,, which led to think that may be there some sort of initialization that i should do,,
my question is : how to handle the dev board, what are the two serials for,,
and what is the best way to send nmea statements to the gps,,
"how to initialize data sources"
