So the gps got wired to the arduino and the blue smirf got setup to send data back. Unfortunately all that came out of hyperterminal was gibberish. Most of my time lately had been occupied trying to return these poor animals to their rightful owner. Going to take a step or two back this weekend to see if I can get nema strings again.
After validating that everything seems to work (gps still places me in china) I've wired up a bluetooth link. Next step is to see if a lock outside gives me good gps, and if I can get data via bluetooth.
So with some shameless leveraging of some code I now can get data from the gps module back to my laptop via the arduino environment! Now I need to wire in an hbridge, plug in the truck base, and write some code. Hooray!
So the car has been stripped and a particle board base has been attached. Now I need to get coding to see if there is anything I can get from the gps for guidance.
