DIY: Simple PSP-GPS hookup

[deniska]

check/flip wifi switch, take out UMD...
(the green screen prog does not care about those but MapThis requires no UMD and wifi off in the current release)
makesure that FAKEFEED=0 in the config.txt file....

Also, don't expect any reception indors.. You'll get 0 satelites and gps coordinates from latest life session...

Let me know if you continue having problems...

You cable is in fact working... It would be nice if you could post a video tutorial on how to make it... that is if you have time and want to contribute... ;-)

Hi deniska so is my cable ok? it should be working yes? But anyways I change the config.txt to 0 and I made sure that my umd is out and the wi fi turn off. It still did not work. I went out side and waitied for about two min and it still did not pick up any satelities. Sure I will make the video on how to make the video when I have time this weekend

Does the green program show you the speed and number of satelites (>0) when you step outside?
Is the time (minutes) shown correctly in green prog? The hours will probably be off...

I take it that the red light blinks.. - meaning it gets the GPS data....

I am running the GPSlime236 and it say Satelites 08 and the orange and blue light are flashing. The time show 5:20 but it should be 10.20pm here in the US. and my signal quality 02. The speed say 0.00 ;(

hmm... see if you can capture your data to a file and post it here (Map This has record GPS feature)

BTw, does the time (in right top corner) change whan you run GPS in map this!?

[fubarms]

do you mean use the map this program to capture the data?

[fubarms]

Hey deniska can you upload your map this files that you have for your psp in the Game folder that is without the map and I will copy to my ms to see if your setting works with mine. I am not sure why my map this program does not work ;(

[deniska]

do you mean use the map this program to capture the data?

Left arrow (in gps mode) toggles data recording (to GPS.txt)


BTW, you may want to try previous version and see if it works for you...
