Hello

With DateTimeNMEA example $GPRMC data I can see very well, now I want
to change this code so I can see in $GPRMB protocol Letters R and L,
they ar here, after 3th comma:
$GPRMB,A,0.00,L,,SIGULD,5708.612,N,02450.922,E,25.760,61.5,,V,A*74

On DateTimeNMEA example in Serial_24.bas and Suppert_24.bas I leave as
they where, but in DateTimeNMEA.bas I change to this:

' Accept 4800N81 NMEA from Pin 20
' Continuously Set BX-24 RTC to indicated UTC
' (~250mS delayed) from valid $GPRMC sentence
' Continuously Display RTC

Why my debug.print only shows zero or 8 when I was expecting 76 for L
and 82 for R ????

Maybe something is wrong with one of tfValid parts ???

This is not the way I would handle the field today (if you don't use
the crosstrack error, it wastes six bytes of RAM) but, since the
crosstrack error fields are fixed-length, you might try:

dim Navigate(1 to 7) as byte

Debug.Print " Navigate letter: "; cstr(Navigate(7))

call getValidity
call SkipCommas(1)
call GetBytes(Navigate,7) 'get Crosstrack error and Steer direction
