Re: GPS with VEX

You would need easyC Pro to access the serial port to use GPS. I think GPS would be a really cool field positioning device for both FRC or FTC. I just don't know enough about how you could create your own field based GPS network. Would be cheaper to use ZigBee modules to pinpoint a location based on signal strength?

doesn't the parallax gps have i2c, i think this would be compatible with Vex
Unfortunately IFI didn't bring out I2C in the VEX controller other then it is used by the two PICs
to communicate with each other.
