Post by thread:GPS info

Has anybody used this IC4s or similar for GPS, any hints would help !! ST's GPS (Global Positioning by Satellite) chipset is made up of a radio frequency front end, the STB5600, and the ST20GP1 which is a dedicated micro-controller. Thanks to its innovative architecture, STB5600 requires a minimum of external components and the combination of a very low cost oscillator (no TCXO required) resulting in even greater cost savings. As a result of internal level converters, the STB5600 is able to drive CMOS microcontrollers such as the ST20GP1 directly. Thanks Javier

NMEA is National Marine Electronics Association (or similar). See http://www.nmea.org. They got into this due to involvement with the interfaces to navigation equipment. They appear to be located in New Bern, North Carolina, USA. As far as I know, NMEA standards are for sale _only_ as printed materials. They do not publish them on their web site. They do have a prominent copyright notice. And they do have ordering instructions on their site. GPS interfaces are mostly NMEA 0183 standard (serial, 4800 baud). NMEA 0183 is currently version 2.30 dated March 1998. It is $60 to NMEA members and $125 to non-members. They'll happily mail you a copy upon receipt of a check or your credit card information.

I have some rudimentary info ie: pinouts & protocol with a basic program to read it. If this will help mail me off the list & I will attach it to your mail 270k gif file Wil Reeder RemoveMEteachtechTakeThisOuTbc.sympatico.ca Vancouver,Canada Faster horses, younger women, older wiskey, and more money! ---------- | From: Lee Jones <spamBeGoneleespamBeGoneFRUMBLE.CLAREMONT.EDU> | To: TakeThisOuTPICLISTEraseMEspam_OUTMITVMA.MIT.EDU | Subject: Re: GPS info | Date: Wednesday, January 13, 1999 11:31 PM | | >>> Has anybody used this IC4s or similar for GPS, any hints would help !! | | >> as long as it has a standard NMEA output then I don't see why you snip
