Hi Paul, thanks for these videos. Your students are very lucky to have you!

Amazing stuff. Well structured. Excellent Lessons. Looking forward for for the GPS lesson 3. Thumb up as usual.

The code you've written is also possible to create a library so you can import into another program

I purchased a BB Black and was disappointed that all the sample code is written in JavaScript, Python, and something called "BoneScript" (I wanted C++). So I downloaded TI's "Code Composer" and I plan to use the unpopulated JTAG connector, which in theory, should program the BB's Sitara CPU just as it works on any other one. Since most of the ports/features are embedded in the CPU, mapping should also be the same.

Can we use this Adafruit Gps with msp430 with c code ??

You wrote the ser.write... commands with a sleep command after each ser.write. Why not just write the ser.write commands without the sleep commands. And writing the sleep command after the last ser.write?

I like these lessons. I am fairly new to this (read: very new). Hoping to get my Raspberry Pi in tomorrow to start getting nerdy ;-) (Not a beaglebone, but the idea is quite the same, I think) Just wondering... for testing purposes, can I just attach an external GPS antenna to get a fix, when I am coding and trying stuff out? If that is so, that might have been a handy thing to have used for these lessons. :-) But who am I to talk. I am very new to this kind of stuff :-)
