Re: Need help with Adafruit Ultimate GPS Shield Code
OK, I'm having no luck with this. There's something about cutting the power to the SD that louses it up.
Can you switch from the GPS shield to using the GPS breakout and the MicroSD breakout? That was my original configuration, and I had it working. The difference is that I had the SD connected to 5V, so it remained powered all the time.

What baud rate do you have the Serial Monitor set to (box in lower right)? Set it to 9600

1)I have done it (9600). Nothing chanched. The serial monitor gives a string like: 00,A,3938.1755,N,02224.7752,E,0.yyyyyy_yyyyyyyyy.......
2)If i do "direct computer wiring" it works perfect.
