Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2007 3:07 pm
Hello,
I recently bouht EM406 GPS Sensor from Sparkfun. I used a Sirf III demo software as i read it in this forum.I made my own Interfacing board using MAX 3232 to connect it with serial port.I am using regulated 5V DC supply.
Earlier LED was flashing but i was not getting the data as stated in Manual.The software was showing only input message $PSRF103.........
When i connect ground to Pin 5 of DB9(serial port) even this message won't come.What is this??
Now LED is continuously glowing still with no output data.
Is my GPS ok?? How can i check it that it is working properly??
Please tell me what to do as i have to run this GPS with in this week.
