Re: GPS with VEX
The Vex controller has 2 serial ports available. The port 2 is unused and could be used to interface to the GPS unit. It is a 5 volt TTL serial port. The Parallax GPS is 5 volt TTL and would be compatible with the Vex port. I don't remember there being serial port support in easy C however WPLib does support serial if you want to use Easy-c. Note that this an older GPS unit and probably will not work well indoors.
