Re: NETcomm fails to show GPS data
Posted: Thu May 22, 2008 6:30 am
do you have c:\windows\System32\MSCOMM32.OCX in your version of windows? i beleive the netcomm OCX uses this file.
my gps is 4800 baud...it works
maybe you gps needs a different parity or one of the other setting i don't use
_OpenComPort($CommPort = '8', $sBAUD = '4800', $s1 = 'N', $s2 = '8', $s3 = '1')
to bad I never knew what the other settings were for(the origional netcomm gps code was made by another person for a circle generator we worked on)... I'm guessing that $s1 is parity, $s2 is data bits, and $s3 is stop bit
i default to None, 8 bits, and 1 because every gps i owned was like that. maybe yours is different...
