OPL and GPS LAM-1 Module

I suspect a C++ extension to OPL (called an OPX) would nbe needed, but this looks promising.

I have connected to a GPS unit before using SComms.oxh. This project should be more refined as well as more portable.

Now I am intruiged - have you ever heard of Psi-Mapper from Steve Litchfield?

Wow. 😮
I would love to get my hands on that source code. I think I will have to did out my crusty unloved Psion 5 and give it a try.

Hi,
here's a first run of GPS connection for LAM-1 on Nokia 9210. It's quite unfinished hack (I changed the display strategy quite late, should have thought it earlier), but shows how the communication with LAM-1 works.

Cool! 😃 😃 😃
Nice way that you save string processing time. I had to use my brain to read the code. I guess Im not as good as I thought at programming. Are you going to finish this hack?
By the way, what is the value of slen%? I guess its the string length.

Yes, slen contains the length. Will finish this later when have time for that. I think I would also change the comm. code NOT to close and re-open the comm. ports in each check. The event loop would also be nice. But as this grews more complicated I have to develop this on larger screen than the 9210 has (It's hard to remember the structure & details of off-screen code etc) 😊...

Sorry to be about 18 months late, but I'm just getting into OPL and want to start by writing a simple program to talk to my GPS unit. This thread looks to have all the information I need but all the links are out of date !! Would anyone be good enough to bring me up to date, and redirect me to the current whereabouts of the documents/code snippets ? I would very much appreciate this...

Please ?

This ancient thread talked about connecting to external devcies using OPL.
What's new?
Can we do it?
How?
