Gps4ppc

[alea46]

Hi,
After new Tests, there is the results :
My version : trial version 6.3, .Net Version 2.0.5238 (from Basic4PPC).

When I try GPS4PPC. exe, No problem, soft connect Well using port 6.

When I try GPS4PPC.sbp in run mode, With Serial2.dll, I get the message "error oppening port 6".

When I try GPS4PPC.sbp in run mode, with Serialdevice.dll, I get the message "GPS is Connect", + 2/3second later "GPS is deconnect".

What can I do to test my program. Increase time interval?, Increase counter value?Buy licence to compile soft for test?

SerialDevice.dll should only be used with .Net CF 1.0.
If you like you can go to Basic4ppc folder (on the device): \Program Files\Basic4ppc
and rename Basic4ppc.exe.config to something else.
Now the IDE will work with .Net CF 1.0 instead of 2.0.

HI, after tries and tries, I don't understand what is wrong for my program.
Can you see where i made a mistake, because with compiled program, it doesn't work. (i Buy Basic4PCC today )

I compile program in OPtimized compilation and Serial2.dll, because EREL say GPS4PPC compiled version use Serial2.DLL.

[Erel]

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my previous post.
The compiled GPS4PPC that you've used was compiled with the legacy compiler and SerialDevice.dll.
You should uncheck the optimized compiler option and replace Serial2.dll with SerialDevice.dll / SerialDesktop.dll.
After compiling your program a config file will also be created. Delete this file as you want to target .Net CF 1.0 and not 2.0.

After a lot of tests, I make a cab,setup pgm.
I compile as EREL said, and test my program : bad luck, it's doesn't work.

I just test the differences between GPS4PCC V1.05 directory and the directory where I put my program : SerialDevice are different, mine is 16,5Kb, GPS4PCC was 28kb.
I'm copying SerialDevice 28kb in my directory : GPS application doesn't crash!
Put claude is right in is topic
NETCFv2 vs NETCFv1 w/Version 6

A question stay : Why two version of serialdevice, one in GPS4PCC V1.05 and one in Basic4PCC library ?

[Erel]

I'm happy you solved this issue.
Can you please send me the SerialDevice.dll you use (erel@basic4ppc.com)?

The library that is now included in Basic4ppc was updated by its author.
I want to compare the two versions.

Hi Erel,
I send you the two serialdevice :
Serialdevice28 came from GPS4PPC V1.05 program (exe to charge into device).
Serialdevice16 came from Basic4PPC standard library.

Thank for all your replies.

Note : For my program, is there an exhaustive documentation for GPS.dll, because i have trouble, with only $GPZDA sentence intercepted.

[Erel]

Thanks.
This is the documentation: GPS
The GPS library parses the GPRMC and GPGGA sentences.

HI,
after making a test program that is decode manualy NMEA sentence, I saw that I received a single string with 3 NMEA sentences :
(program use listbox and strsplit to write NMEA sentence)

$GPZDA Date & Time
$GPGGA Global Positioning System Fix Data
$GPRMC Recommended minimum specific GPS/Transit data

These 3 sentences are separated by 2 specials Characters, but I don't know witch one (represented by square)

Is someone already had this problem?

How can't I decoded this 2 specials characters?

How can't I change this (serial parameters?)?
