Hi,
This is my first post so please be gentle!
I've been doing a lot of seraching over the last few days but dont seem to be able to find a definitive answer for my question so im hoping someone can either point me to a thread i have missed or point me in the right direction/
Im planning on building a GPS data logger for use in my car. I have worked out pretty much all the parts i need except for how to get the GPS data.
I have been looking at two options. My preferred option would be to add a bluetooth interface and receive the data from the bluetooth GPS that i already have in my car.
Is it possible to connect a 28x1 PICAXE to a GPS like this and use serial over bluetooth to receive the data?
My other option would be to buy another bluetooth module and connect that directly to the PICAXE and get the data that way.
I would prefer to use bluetooth as i already have a working gps reciever and it seems a waste to buy a second one if i can get the one i already own to work, even if it does cause a few headaches.
Any help would be greatfuly received!
Mike
