Hi,

I'm working on a simple GPS Xbee tracking project.

It seems that you can directly connect a gps with NMEA output to a XBEE and send the data over to a xbee connected pc.

I've tried this but it doesn't really work. I get data but its unreadable.

My setup is the following

GPS                XBEE                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~        XBEE       Expl board     USB PC

TX ---------------DIN                                                                     

5V ---------------5V-----------------5V Batt

GND ------------GND--------------GND Batt

I'm using a mediatek GPS set at 4800bps and two XBEE 2,4Ghz also set at 4800 bps.

On the pc side the xbee is connected with an usb explorere board and I'm using hyperterminal to read the incoming data on Com10.

Does someone have a solution to this?

Thx
