Re: GPS with VEX

We are trying to add a Parallax GPS to a standard FRC controller using Easy C. We can see that we have established a fix via the idiot light on the GPS, but we are having trouble writing and reading the TTL serial port. Can anyone provide words of wisdom on how to write text strings to the serial port e.g "!GPS05" and how to read the serial response.

Thanks
