SoftwareSerial Bug? #47

Closed 8cH9azbsFifZ closed 11 years ago

8cH9azbsFifZ commented 11 years ago

SoftwareSerial Serial1(GPS_TX_PIN, GPS_RX_PIN); Adafruit_GPS GPS(&Serial1); SoftwareSerial Serial3(GPS_TX_PIN, GPS_RX_PIN); Adafruit_GPS GPS1(&Serial3);

It does not work to open two serial ports?

Is even mentioned in the doc: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/SoftwareSerial http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/SoftwareSerialListen

8cH9azbsFifZ commented 11 years ago

mySerial.listen()

and check mySerial.available()>0

Solved in v0.4.8

8cH9azbsFifZ commented 11 years ago

does not work in the main loop as of v0.4.19

8cH9azbsFifZ commented 11 years ago

problem: serial->listen will abandon poor data...

solution: once in gps mode read all characters, until we can understand the signal.

implemented in v0.4.21
