Cant access terminal menu for programming NMEA message output

GPS/GNSS
1

Hello,

Using a Sparkfun Postcard with Portability shield. I cannot access the terminal configuration menu when I connect to a terminal program (tera term). When i connect to the board and “press any button” to get into the menu it doesnt pop open the menu, it just resets power on the board or reboots the software.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA

Check that your baud is 115200 and that you’re connecting to Port A of the two serial ports that enumerate.

Hey sparky, i am using baud 115200 and connecting to port A.

One thing i didnt mention is that i uploaded the .bin file 2.2

Would this make a difference?

I figured it out. Turns out that Tera Term isnt the greatest terminal to use in this application. I switched to RealTerm and it worked. Thanks for your reply sparky.

Glad to hear you got it working! I’ve been using TeraTerm for ~20 years. Sorry to hear it failed on you.
