GPS library for msp430g2553

[AMPS 0]

Is there any liberary TINY GPS lib in arduino for Energia. I tried the code of tiny gps in ENERGIA but IT worked on MSP kits

Please, try to pay attention to your English. Even for someone with bare minimum mastering of the language you should be able to do punctuation and negations.

I assume you're looking for a library like the tiny GPS library in Arduino. You've tried using the Arduino tiny GPS library in Energia but it didn't work.

Did I read this correctly?

As far as I know, there is no widespread GPS library for Energia, you could try modifying the Arduino library to work with Energia, preferably without breaking Arduino functionality. This way you'd have a portable library, deserving much likes/thanks.

Thanks for providing information. BUt in forum people say that , they made working with Arduino  TINYGPS liberary  but provide RAM has limited size for MSp

Hi Amps, could you point us to that thread?

 

Moving to Energia General. This forum is only for tested libraries.

hello guys,

did any one succeed in porting the tinygps library to energia IDE?.. if yes kindly help

regards,

I use the following library with the F5529 and Energia: https://github.com/anorse/NorseEngineering_GPS

@mention does it work with g2553?

Hi @@johnmarwa

 

It looks like you are using a different version of the library than me.  But the problem is that the G2553 doesn't appear to have sufficient memory.  I got a RAM overflow of 82 bytes with my version of the library and a basic example when I tried it just now with the G2553.  Since I normally use it with the F5529 it isn't a problem for me.  You will either need to pare things down or use a microcontroller with more memory.  The thread above implies someone else has pared it down so you might search around a bit more.  Good luck...

@@johnmarwa Please have look here for a starting point : http://forum.43oh.com/topic/4966-unable-to-retrieve-complete-nmea-string-from-serial-communication/?p=44095

 

@@Fmilburn is right ... G2553 does not have enough memory for the "standard" examples / sketches you'll find around the net (esp. those for Arduino).

 

Try to get things started much more simple and try to find out which functions you really need (to reduce memory) ...

 

Good luck !
