hello,

i am in trouble with gps. i am using GPS 600L from cirocomm.

i do not know how to interface with this GPS with 8051.

GPS receiver is having 8 pins. so help me on making circuit on GPS receiver with max232.

thank you.

thank you.

i am not using gps module. I am using gps receiver. it consists of 8pin.

PIN1: 3.3v
PIN2: ANALOG AND DIGITAL GROUND
PIN3: Rx
PIN4: Tx
PIN5: v-ANT (2.7 TO 3.3V)
PIN6: GND (ANALOG AND DIGITAL)
PIN7: RESET (NO CONNECTION)
PIN8: EXTERONAL ANTENNA

On circuit what I post all is compatible with your gps.

Use :

3,3V
Gnd to Pin6 of gps
Rx Pin 9 on Max3232
Tx Pin 10 on Max3232

Keep in mind your gps voltage level 3,3V. Circuit in post #2 uses 5V signal leveling.
 

thank you ;

can i go for max232 in place of max3232.

Can anyone tell me what is the error of GPS module, I mean +/- some meters ???
This is the general question not related to specific model.
 

With a good model (I don't know about yours) and good circumstances, it can be pretty low (a couple of meters). Some units will report an
estimate positional error dynamically. (I don't know which models).
 

I don't see any use of MAX232 or MAX3232... there is no need to convert the signal to TTL logic as both work on CMOS logic.
Simple interfacing RX(of GPS)->Tx(of MCU) and Tx(of GPS)->Rx(of MCU) should work, won't it???
 

Hi,
I think you got your two connections wrong. they are just interchanged. As tx of gps should go to rx of microcontroller and rx of gps should go to the tx.
So, Corrections should be:
pin10 of max 232 >pin 11 of mcu and pin 9 of max 232 >pin 10 of mcu
