Hello guys,
I new to this forums and electronics, but I'm looking forward to learn.
I just got a Netduino, a GPS shield and a EM-406A to make my first project and so far I'm figuring things out except that I cannot make the GPS to lock on satellites.
In regards to my setup and what I've done:
1. Power through laptops USB port.
2. GPS module next to my window where my phone locks on 8 satellites
3. I have let the GPS on for over 12 minutes
4. The GPS is attached to GPS shield with 2-sided tape.
Here's the GPS sentense I'm getting:
$GPGGA,014445.417,,,,,0,00,,,M,0.0,M,,0000*54
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E

Some of my questions:
1. Should I use UART or DLINE?
2. I don't understand what the "Solder Jumper" does, can someone tell me if I need to solder it?
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Alex,
