Does anyone going to tonight's meeting have one that I could briefly barrow
to test a new GPS module with? I'll have my laptop and GPS with me to test
it there.

Thus far, I've only tested it using SoftwareSerial() on my Arduino and I'm
getting weird results. I'm starting to think that I might have a bad unit
but I would like to test it with a TTL converter to be sure.

It would be greatly appreciated :D

I'm coming tonight; I will check in a few minutes if I have one from my old
Nerdkits pile of parts in the back of the truck and will reply back.

Thanks Sean :D

I suppose buying one could always be an option, I really only need it to
test whether the GPS is functional or not.

I would buy one from Brad.  Its always good to have one in your toolset,
and in a week you won't miss the $15.  :-)

I have a several years old (bought it in 2008, IIRC, but it just worked on
my craptastic bench board where I was reading temperatures for a test) 4
pin header to DB9 w/ included DB9 to USB adapter which came with my
nerdkit.  It's got a part # of P97132 on it, and it uses a TI CD74HCT14E
chip.

http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/84394/TI/CD74HCT14E.html

Think it'll do what you want?

And yes, I'd buy one from Brad, too, but if you seriously just need to
borrow one for testing and this'll do, you're welcome to use it. I'll be by
the space fairly early tonight, I think. I'm only 2 blocks away.

Sean
