HERE

Ran it, watched it, no error msg, no data on server that I can tell. No indication of receiving NMEA data from GPS.

The test program won't send anything, it's just to read the NEMA sentence from the receiver and display it for you...

you didn't get any messages period?

Got all the error checks including port open, but no NMEA data displayed. I also just logged into PURGPS on your server and it worked flawlessly so I know the port is talking. Done running out to the garage for tonight, may try again tomorrow afternoon - strike that (just looked at the clock) -- this afternoon.

HMM well if you're getting port open, then MSCOMM.OCX is good and the use of it, but if you're still not getting data... You imported the REG file right? I might have to change the OCX I use for communication... or maybe use the the NetComm.ocx wrapper... :-\ hmm

Thanks for work'n with me on this

I've got to have good feedback to get this working, cuz on all the machines I've used it on, it works..

lol
again thanks bro... oh and I should have my new version (new gui and added features) released by morning... for you all to test too.

now to just figure out the main part of this whole thing.. lol getting the damn data in...

My question is what is so different between this and PURGPS, which does work?

I did also look at my raw data stream from the GPS - its a mess. About vry third sentence is all zeroes, but the virtual port software tells the ports I have 12 sats locked and discards any bad sentences.

Oh well, goodnight, I'll pick this up again around noon.

Okie doke folks... See the bottom of the first post. Updated the program to use NETComm.OCX vs the MSComm.OCX, so we'll see if that fixes some issues. Also rebuilt the GUI, added more features and functions.

Let me know how this works for you. I does work for me and all the systems I've tried it on...

Enjoy. There will be more to come.

Peace... The W3bMa5t3r

/EDIT: This version has the offline save / upload later feature. You can also make backup copies of your current data log.

HEy i tried it with the new ver 1.7 and still no good. I install the new netcom things and it still didn't work. I still get that not receiving GPS... Also if i were to set it to a different com port that doesn't have gps feed. i get "could not communicate with com port# and it wont load the app. So obviously it knows that their is GPS data on the correct port and it loads the app but doesn't log data....

**W3bMa5t3r** · 03-12-2007, 06:45 PM

GRRR ... lol damn. I don't get it. I really can't get it to not work at all on any of the systems I've tried it on. Everything from my carpc to the office computers and even virtual pcs...

What kind of GPS receiver are u using? Are u using a com port splitter? If so which one?
