Use the forum search.

There is a complete library in the 'code library' section, and several dozen examples in this forum as well.

HI,
you just try this code .............


Code:

#include <18F452.h>
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#Fuses HS
#use rs232(baud=9600,parity=N,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,bits=8,stream=GPS,errors)
#byte portb=0xf81
#byte trisb=0xf92

#BYTE TRISC=0XF94
#include "flex_lcd.c"

 
 
   
   int i=0,j=0,flag=0;
   int8 data_gps[77],count=0;
   char data,lati_data[11],longi_data[12];
  // int8 tepmtest[7],test[]="$GPGGA,";
 

#INT_RDA
void rx_data(void)
{ 
      data_gps[i++]=getch();  // Store data in Reception regist   
      if(i==77)
      {
      count=i;
      i=0;
      }
}
char bgetch()
{
   char c;
   while(count==0);
   c=data_gps[j];
   if(++j > 77)
   j=0;
   if(count)
   {
      count--;
   }   
   return c;
}


void main()
{

Hello Velraj,

Given that you haven't provided any information as to whether you know electronics and programming, it'll be difficult to help. But here are my thoughts:

First thing, the way to physically interface to the GPS depends on the manufacturer. Some of them might use I2C, others SPI, others a UART. These are all different and you need to understand how they work.

Word of advice: I use a Salea logic analyzer... this is a MUST HAVE tool. The 8 channel version is about 150 dollars (Canadian) and it has saved my butt numerous times, especially with the SPI and I2C ports. A UART is somewhat easy to troubleshoot because it is simple.

The physical interface between the GPS and the PIC also depends on the voltage levels of the signals between the devices; don't connect a 5V PIC to a 3.3V GPS unless the GPS can handle 5V tx/rx.

You also need to make sure that the physical connectivity between your PIC and your GPS is working, so, given that the 877 devices have two serial ports if I remember - one is (I think) C0 and C1, the other is like C6 and C7 - you have to take the time to test both UARTS. Tie one of them to a serial console (e.g. a PC running Hyper Terminal with the proper level converter between the PIC and the PC) and ensure you can display text on your screen and if you type on your keyboard, display something else. This will ensure that bi-directional communications works. Repeat this step for both UARTS.

Once you can display "Hello world" on the PC, _then_ you can start interfacing with the GPS.

Second, there are LOTS of GPS messages and they are all comprised of various message lengths and depending on some units, yours might send you a GPS coordinate every second, or 5 per second or 10 per second. Your PIC needs to be able to handle such message rate, queue the messages and process them further. It also depends if you want to parse NMEA data or other types of messages (UBLOX even has a binary output).

So, all this boils down to... Before you start plugging-away and coding anything, make sure you understand:

1) You need to understand electronics and programming;
2) The basics of the PIC you're using;
3) Make sure it is functional and that you can talk to it;
4) Make sure you understand how the GPS works;

Hope this helps, you didn't provide more details.
