How can I display the GPS data on the Debugger monitor?
PostPosted: Mon Oct 23, 2006 7:00 am     Reply with quote

Now I'm using the ccs & ICD u40 to do the coding. Here is a GPS receiver and I wanna to get the GPS receiver data and to display just on the debugger monitor, how can I manage this? Thank you.
the following is the code I wrote. Is there any problem? There is some rubbish characters on the monitor.
Code:
#include<16f877A.h>
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#device ICD=TRUE
#use delay(clock=8000000)
   #use RS232(baud=4800, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, stream=GPS)
      #use RS232(baud=9600, xmit=pin_B3, rcv=pin_B3, stream=DEBUG)
         void main ()
         {
            int i;
         char GPS_packet[70];
         char c;
         while (1)
         {
            i = 0;
            for (i = 0; i < 70; i++)
            {
               if (kbhit(GPS))
               {
                  c = fgetc (GPS);
                  GPS_packet[i] = c;
               }
            }
            for (i = 14; i <= 40; i++)
            {
               fprintf (DEBUG, "%C", GPS_packet[i]);
            }
         }
         }

Your code above doesn't wait for the characters to come in.
Most of the time, kbhit(GPS) will return 0 and the if() statement
code won't execute. But the for(;;) loop will continue to execute
and it will quickly go through 70 times, but without doing anything.
You will get one character if you're lucky.
