// Test code for Adafruit GPS modules using MTK3329/MTK3339 driver // // This code turns on the LOCUS built-in datalogger. The datalogger // turns off when power is lost, so you MUST turn it on every time // you want to use it! // // Tested and works great with the Adafruit Ultimate GPS module // using MTK33x9 chipset // ------> http://www.adafruit.com/products/746 // Pick one up today at the Adafruit electronics shop // and help support open source hardware & software! -ada #include // these are for Arduino 1.0 #include SoftwareSerial mySerial(3, 2); // if using Arduino v23 or earlier, uncomment these // two lines and comment out the above.
