Entry for May 12, 2006 – GPS APRS Project

I managed to get the TinyTrackerII soldered together earlier in the week, and tonight I started testing it. I had to wire up a TTL to RS232 converter to get it to talk with my laptop. I was able to configure the parameters, but haven’t set the audio levels with the radio interface yet. I also powered up the $17 GPS receiver, and it is spitting out NMEA serial data as it should. My GPS antenna seems to have been delivered to the wrong place, so I still don’t have it.
