Hello Libelium:

XBee need to receive GPS data. First I took the example code in the IDE Getting GPS Coordinates Waspmote ------ -------- Example and everything works fine, I can read Waspmote gps data via USB.

Next, I tried to receive GPS data through the GATEWAY with XBee. For this I used this code:

void setup()
{
// Inits the XBee 802.15.4 library
xbee802.init(XBEE_802_15_4,FREQ2_4G,NORMAL);

// Powers XBee
xbee802.ON();
// setup the GPS module
XBee.println("----- Setting up GPS ------");

GPS.ON();

// waiting for GPS is connected to satellites
while( !GPS.check() )
{
delay(1000);
XBee.print(".");
}

XBee.println("\nConnected");

}
void loop(){

// Getting Time
GPS.getPosition();
XBee.println("---------------");
XBee.print("Time: ");
XBee.println(GPS.timeGPS);
XBee.print("Date: ");
XBee.println(GPS.dateGPS);
XBee.print("Latitude: ");
XBee.println(GPS.latitude);
XBee.print("Longitude: ");
XBee.println(GPS.longitude);
XBee.print("Altitude: ");
XBee.println(GPS.altitude);
XBee.print("Speed: ");
XBee.println(GPS.speed);
XBee.print("Course: ");
XBee.println(GPS.course);
XBee.println("---------------");
}

But there is something I'm not turning because I still receive the data by GATEWAY. I hope you can tell me I'm wrong. Thank you.

Hi chusty_09 ,

I'm not sure to have understood your problem. You are trying to receive the GPS data in your PC via XBee, isn't it? We have tested your code and it works, and you mention in your last sentence that you do receive it. What is exactly your problem?

Regards.

hello Libelium:

I've already solved, it was receiving data through the gateway, I created a new code and I will correct.

I would also like to know where I can find more information about XBee 802, because the manual only bring a few instructions and let me know where I can find out more.

chusty_09,

Besides that 802.15.4 programming guide, you can take a look into Digi's website (Xbee manufacturer) there you can find specific manuals and AT commands to communicate directly with Xbee module.

Regards...
