GPS-zigbee interference

[ddlawrence]

Hi. Did you have an interference problem with the plugaGPS and plugaZigbee in the same stack?

thanks........don

The Zigbee hooks to the regular serial channel, depending on the carrier as RS-232 or directly via TTL. The GPS talks on PORTE lines, and we read it with the software serial inputs. Since you only have to listen to the GPS, rather than talk to it (normal mode of operation once set up) it only takes one PE line, and may not even interfere with the SPI operation.

hi. i meant radio interference
thanks......don

No, haven't noticed any.

We have found you can try to run too much through a XBee module, to where one can't talk and listen at full speed.

We've also experienced Bluetooth and WiFi interference. Not sure about XBee and WiFi interference, worried but haven't really found any.

Haven't noted anything touching the GPS except lots of steel above it.
