@madmike970 Close, what needs to happen is to find and add the library that the ESP boards use, BUT, since the 8266 at least compiles why bother. I will look at Bills video when I have some time, but with a very full calendar ahead of me it will be a come and go. At this point I am totally stumped and I have over a half century experience debugging computers so don't feel bad. My feeling is it something simple we have overlooked. Right now I have to watch the Masters. TTYL.

@madmike970 I don't know what to say. Contrary to popular belief most programmers spend more time debugging than they do programming. Either this sketch is not the sketch that Bill used, or the board I am using is not the right board.The messages being produced are foreign to me, has @will seen this sort of message before, it sounds like technical jargon, I see chksum, tail etc but no idea who is producing it.
Sorry, can't help you out here. Haven't used any of the ESP family nor GPS I just commented on the problems coding.
Anything seems possible when you don't know what you're talking about.

@will Yes, I keep forgetting that.

@madmike970 Got it! Here is screen print of the DBWS gps logger code running on an ESP32. I didn't connect any leds, gps, sd card but this is the first time it produced the expected msgs re starting the gps and card failed (last 4 msgs).
The secret is to go into Tools/Manage Libraries then enter softwareserial in the search box and then look for the entry called EspSoftwareSerial and click Install.

Though still failing, i am working on making progress, and one thing ive been able to figure out is that by opening serial monitor i was essentially forcing the esp8266 into flash mode... so i think im gonna try widdling through it without any serial debug

@madmike970 Um, flash mode is enabled by pressing the button labelled BOOT, normally to the right of the USB connector when closest to you. This thread is so old I don't really remember much about it.

@zander actually theres a reset button and a flash button... and from my understanding serial monitor sets gpio0 to HI or something like that so i will need to use realterm to enter serial monitor AND keep gpio set to LO
2022-05-02 7:57 pm
@madmike970 Yes two buttons, everything else you said is greek to me. I use esp's all the time and have never run across what you are saying.
Good luck.
