Hi all,
I'm [very] new to electronics, but it's always been something I've been interested in. I've controlled servos from my PC etc... and other very basic stuff, but now I want to experiment some more.
I have an old BU-303 USB GPS receiver that we used to use with a laptop in the car. It's redundent now due to a dedicated GPS device.
What I wanted to do as a starting project was to take the USB out of it and power it some other way and display the output (the NMEA messages) to a small LCD (**broken link removed**).
Is this something that is possible? I know it's not a lot of money, but would like to know if it's possible before I buy the bits that I need.
Thanks in advance.
