Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi edu001,

As PicFan says, this is possible. If you have any questions then do post them on this forum because there are plenty of people willing to help.

Why not give more details as to what you wish to achieve so that you may get inspiration from other members.

Good luck with your first project . . .

Thanks for the reply

What I am trying to do is read the gpgga NEMA data from the GPS (COM1) 9600 baud

Read the temp from the DS18B20

Then combine the 2 into a string and send to COM2 set to 50 baud

As a suggestion use this example code to read GPS Com1:
http://geoffg.net/Downloads/Micromite/GPS_Clock.bas

' Define your Temp Port
DS18B20 START 15 ' connect to port 15

OPEN "COM1:4800" AS #1 ' open the GPS serial interface
OPEN "COM2:50" AS #2 ' open your port to write to

Do

' read some GPS Data, refer to GPS_Clock.bas

' write to Com2:
print #2, "Temperature: ",DS18B20(pin)

Loop
