Ok, I am back in the office.
The code I have been using to connect to the GPS is as follows:
Code:
while 1:
ser = serial.Serial(port=0, baudrate=4800, timeout=0)
line = ser.readline()
print line #DEBUG
ser.close()
"line" is then passed to a parser which has been developed with the aid of a text file of a GPS output (NMEA).
I've included two text files - GPS DUMP is what is received when the GPS is outputting NMEA sentences and the TXT file shows what is received when the GPS unit is outputting text only.
I really like your buffer method but am at a loss on how to implement it
I am off to pour over the documentation for PySerial again as I am sure I'm missing something obvious
