Hello everyone, my name is Andrea.
I need your help!
I have a rasberry pi 3 with 7 "touchscreen
then I have a "adafruit ultimate gps"
I installed the "openplotter rpi v 0.8.0" program
I connected the gps to the "gpio 14 gpio 15"
not so what to do to show the gps and GPS data nmea 0183!
I tried various guides but nothing!
please, I need a guide
and on the openplotter settings, to use opencpn!
I'm a beginner, excuse me!
I am convinced that with your help I will solve this problem!

Did you connect Rx to tx and Tx to RX.
Serial port enabled
Adafruit has a good How to with pictures

According to the adafruit page, it looks like you need a usb to ttl adapter... if you want to do it in a simple way.

Right. It also seems that you can use the UART pins, but it's more complicated and may end up creating some problems with other OPlotter configurations... I'm not sure.

It might have been easier to use a simple gps-USB... even faster and cheaper.

Using USB also keeps your serial port available.

I tested this GPS adapter. I wasn't satisfied. I was hoping the signal would be more accurate.
I tried it with a usb-ttl adapter.
I am now using a GPS USB mouse again.

thanks to all for the answers, I connected everything right tx to rx and rx to tx!
tomorrow morning work (now I am 1:04 hours) try with the usb ttl adapter, so that you have it, I just have to find it ... hello hello!
thanks again and hopefully, hopefully beyond the memory automatically without having to write lines of code on the terminal!
in case I wait for instructions on what to write!
greetings to all of you from andrea.z

What Jim321 is trying to tell you above is before you spend too much time on version 0.8.0, download the 0.10.0 Noobs edition, and you can use the upgrade capabilities within it to bring you up to current code, which is 0.17.0. There is no upgrade path from 0.8.0 directly but after you are on 0.10.0 or higher all or at least most of your settings will carry with each upgrade. Few of us participating here actually run the old 0.8.0 code so we can help you better if you are on the leading edge with the rest of us. Welcome!
