Hello, tanks for this explaining video. In the video you shown how to extract the different fields from the string. Where can I find this resource to expand the code? I wont to use the basics to set my clock (I2C) to the gps time.

Good one Ken....
You can also use an inexpensive USB to TTL converter board and hookup the GPS Puck to TeraTerm set to 9600 baud.. That's what I used to get the Nema Strings before decoding specific info I needed with a PIC program.

Is there a way to parse out the long/lat data and convert it to BCD / multiplex for LED 7seg displays? I'm obsessed with the idea of building a GPS receiver with old-school LED displays.

You can send it commands to change the baud rate, the intervals of each sentence and which sentence are sent, which I have tried with mixed results.

Great video and an interesting topic !
