Is there any commercial product which powered by ATMEGA328P with Arduino bootloader? Also, Is there any problem to use micro-controller in commercial products which using Arduino sketch?

@salmanfaris It's worked. Thank you @salmanfaris for your replies.

Actually a small change in void loop is the solution

void loop(){
    // Set buffer to size of expected message
    uint8_t buf[1];
    uint8_t buflen = sizeof(buf);
    // Check if received packet is correct size
  if (vw_get_message(message, &messageLength)) // non-blocking
  {
    Serial.print("Potentiometer: ");
      //Serial.print(message[i]);
      received_number = message[i];
    Serial.println(received_number);

    }
    
      if(received_number == 1){
        getGpsData();  
      }
}

Used two simple if instead of Nested IF. idk what is the problem of first code. Also if I add any delay() inside void getGpsData() function, showing same problem.

@salmanfaris

did you try manual waiting? Instead of delay, you can use mills, so the background works will keep run.

Not working. Same problem.

@salmanfaris said in GPS + RF433 Not working together.:

@rafitc99 said in GPS + RF433 Not working together.:

library it's not waiting for Serial.available()

did you try manual waiting? Instead of delay, you can use mills, so the background works will keep run.

Let me try.

@salmanfaris for running while(gps.avaible()); MCU need to wait some time. but after adding VirtualWire library it's not waiting for Serial.available()

@salmanfaris gps.available( gps_port ) Is not return a True case.

@salmanfaris No any output. Arduino not wating for GPS data.Not runing this loop while (gps.available( gps_port ))

@salmanfaris Not syntax error. its not reading GPS data. That's the problem.

I need to get GPS location while a Trigger occurs. I'm sending trigger via 433Mhz RF transmitter. In the receiver, part contains a GPS module (NEO-7M) to get GPS location and RF 433Mhz to receiver RF message. (Refer code) My problem is by combining GPS + RF. GPS module not giving location details. While checking i found that while (gps.available( gps_port )) not running while #include <VirtualWire.h> is occur. I got a similar error while using SoftwareSerial.h with Radiohead.h

What is the problem with these two libraries? Why Serial.available() not working in this code

#include <NMEAGPS.h>
#include <NeoSWSerial.h>
#include <VirtualWire.h> 

byte message[VW_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN]; // a buffer to store the incoming messages
byte messageLength = VW_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN; // the size of the message
int received_number = 0;
int LED = 5;
int i =0;


NeoSWSerial gps_port(6,7);
NMEAGPS gps;


void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println( F("GPS Start") );  // F macro saves RAM

  gps_port.begin(9600);
  vw_set_rx_pin(11); // pin
  vw_setup(2000); // bps
  vw_rx_start();
}

void loop(){
    // Set buffer to size of expected message
    uint8_t buf[1];
    uint8_t buflen = sizeof(buf);
    // Check if received packet is correct size
  if (vw_get_message(message, &messageLength)) // non-blocking
  {
    Serial.print("Potentiometer: ");
      //Serial.print(message[i]);
      received_number = message[i];
    Serial.println(received_number);

      if(received_number == 1){
        Serial.println("Triggered");
        getGpsData();    
      }
    }
}

void getGpsData() {
  Serial.println("im here");
  while (gps.available( gps_port )) {
    
    gps_fix fix = gps.read();
    if (fix.valid.location) {
      
      float outArray[2];
      outArray[0] = fix.latitude();  // Arrays start at 0, not 1.  Did you really mean [1] here?
      outArray[1] = fix.longitude();

      Serial.println( F("Latitude:") );
      Serial.println( outArray[0], 6 );
      Serial.println( F("Longitude:") );
      Serial.println( outArray[1], 6 );
      Serial.println("___________");
    }
    else {
      Serial.println("GPS Not availble");
    }
  }
}
