Code works on NodeMCU 1.0 but not on ESP8266 12E - arduino

I have a NodeMCU 1.0 and a ESP8266 12-E I created some code to check a GPS signal and report back, on the NodeMCU the code works 100% no problems but when I load the code on a ESP8266 12-e (with NodeMCU flashed on it) I can not get the GPS signal to show up wired to the same GPOI ports and everything.
Most of the code:
#include <TimGPS.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h >
#include "FS.h"
extern "C" {
#include "gpio.h"
#include "user_interface.h"
}
static const int RXPin = 12, TXPin = 255;
static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;
TimGPS gps;
SoftwareSerial ss(RXPin, TXPin);
void printGPSData()
{
Serial.print("Latitude : ");
Serial.println(gps.location.lat(), 6);
Serial.print("Longitude : ");
Serial.println(gps.location.lng(), 6);
Serial.print("Speed : ");
Serial.println(gps.speed.mph(), 6);
Serial.print("Satellites: ");
Serial.println(gps.satellites.value());
Serial.print("Time UTC : ");
Serial.print(gps.time.hour());
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(gps.time.minute());
Serial.print(":");
Serial.println(gps.time.second());
}
static void smartDelay(unsigned long ms)
{
unsigned long start = millis();
do
{
while (ss.available())
gps.encode(ss.read());
} while (millis() - start < ms);
}
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println("Startup");
ss.begin(GPSBaud);
}
void loop() {
if (millis() > 5000 && gps.charsProcessed() < 10) {
Serial.println(F("No GPS data received: check wiring"));
}
else
{
printGPSData(url);
}
}

Hello World With NRF24L01

I have Arduino and a Duinotech NRF24L01, I am trying to send the string "Hello world" with maniacs bug RF24 library however, I think it cannot detect the incoming RF signal.
#include <SPI.h>
#include "nRF24L01.h"
#include "RF24.h"
RF24 radio(7, 8); // CE, CSN
const uint64_t pipe = 0xF0F0F0F0E1L;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
radio.begin();
radio.openReadingPipe(0, pipe);
radio.startListening();
}
void loop() {
if (radio.available()) {
char text[32] = "";
radio.read(&text, sizeof(text));
Serial.println(text);
}
else {
Serial.println("Data was not found");
}
In the read code, it would always execute data was not found. This makes me think that maybe it does not find the RF signal at all.
Here is the code that writes the data.
#include <SPI.h>
#include "nRF24L01.h"
#include "RF24.h"
RF24 radio(7, 8); // CE, CSN
int text = 1;
const uint64_t pipe = 0xF0F0F0F0E1LL;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
radio.begin();
radio.openWritingPipe(pipe);
radio.stopListening();
}
void loop() {
radio.write(&text, sizeof(text));
Serial.println("Sending Data");
delay(1000);
}
Try this
For the transmitter Instead of const uint64_t pipe = 0xF0F0F0F0E1LL; use const byte address[6] = "00001"; as the address and then have you void setup like the code below
void setup() {
radio.begin();
radio.openWritingPipe(address);
radio.setPALevel(RF24_PA_MIN);
radio.stopListening();
}
Then ensure that you have a value set for the test variable to be transmitted as below
void loop() {
const char text[] = "Hello World";
radio.write(&text, sizeof(text));
Serial.println("Sending Data");
delay(1000);
}
At the receiver end have this code running
#include <SPI.h>
#include <nRF24L01.h>
#include <RF24.h>
RF24 radio(7, 8); // CE, CSN
const byte address[6] = "00001";
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
radio.begin();
radio.openReadingPipe(0, address);
radio.setPALevel(RF24_PA_MIN);
radio.startListening();
}
void loop() {
if (radio.available()) {
char text[32] = "";
radio.read(&text, sizeof(text));
Serial.println(text); //This will print out the received value
}
}
PS: Ensure that all the connections are done to the right pins
AND you can test if the NRF24L01 chip is connected correctly by adding the code below
bool result = radio.isChipConnected ();
Serial.println (result);
it should print out a 1 to the serial monitor if the NRF24L01 chip is connected correctly

Merging two arduino sketches

I have been working on a project. I have two sketches. One is to get GPS location and one is send location via SMS (GSM Module). I want to combine both sketches.
GPS sketch:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <TinyGPS.h>
//long lat,lon; // create variable for latitude and longitude object
float flat, flon;
SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(4, 3); // create gps sensor connection
TinyGPS gps; // create gps object
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600); // connect serial
gpsSerial.begin(9600); // connect gps sensor
}
static void print_float(float val, float invalid, int len, int prec)
{
if (val == invalid)
{
while (len-- > 1)
Serial.print('*');
Serial.print(' ');
}
else
{
Serial.print(val, prec);
int vi = abs((int)val);
int flen = prec + (val < 0.0 ? 2 : 1); // . and -
flen += vi >= 1000 ? 4 : vi >= 100 ? 3 : vi >= 10 ? 2 : 1;
for (int i=flen; i<len; ++i)
Serial.print(' ');
}
// smartdelay(0);
}
void loop(){
while(gpsSerial.available()){ // check for gps data
if(gps.encode(gpsSerial.read())){ // encode gps data
// gps.get_position(&lat,&lon); // get latitude and longitude
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon);
String lat = String(flat,6);
String lon = String(flon,6);
Serial.print(lat);
Serial.print(' ');
Serial.println(lon);
}
}
}
GSM sketch:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(9, 10);
void setup()
{
mySerial.begin(9600); // Setting the baud rate of GSM Module
Serial.begin(9600); // Setting the baud rate of Serial Monitor (Arduino)
delay(100);
}
int index=0;
long dlat=0,dlong=0;
char st[256],st1[256],st2[256];
void RecieveMessage()
{
mySerial.println("AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0"); // AT Command to receive a live SMS
// mySerial.println("cheking");
// mySerial.println(string);
}
void loop()
{
if (Serial.available()>0)
RecieveMessage();
if (mySerial.available()>0)
{
//int st;
st[index++] = mySerial.read();
//Serial.write(st[index-1]);
if(index>=51&&index<=63){
st1[index-51]=st[index-1];
Serial.write(st1[index-51]);
}
if(index>=65&&index<=77){
st2[index-65]=st[index-1];
Serial.write(st2[index-65]);
}
/*if(index==77)
{
int i=0;
mySerial.print(st1);
for(i=0;i<13;i++)
{
if(st1[i]!='.')
dlat=dlat*10+(st1[i]-'0');
if(st2[i]!='.')
dlong=dlong*10+(st2[i]-'0');
//Serial.print(dlat);
}
//Serial.print(dlat);
//Serial.print(" ");
//Serial.print(dlong);
*/
}
}
I want to merge these two sketches so that I can send location via GSM sketch and receive location through GPS sketch.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
The following way you can merge your two sketches :
#include <AltSoftSerial.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <TinyGPS.h>
//long lat,lon; // create variable for latitude and longitude object
float flat, flon;
SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(4, 3); // create gps sensor connection
TinyGPS gps; // create gps object
static const int RXPin = 8, TXPin = 9;
AltSoftSerial mySerial(RXPin, TXPin);
int index=0;
long dlat=0,dlong=0;
char st[256],st1[256],st2[256];
void RecieveMessage()
{
mySerial.println("AT+CNMI=2,2,0,0,0"); // AT Command to receive a live SMS
// mySerial.println("cheking");
// mySerial.println(string);
}
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600); // connect serial
gpsSerial.begin(9600); // connect gps sensor
mySerial.begin(9600); // Setting the baud rate of GSM Module
delay(100);
}
static void print_float(float val, float invalid, int len, int prec)
{
if (val == invalid)
{
while (len-- > 1)
Serial.print('*');
Serial.print(' ');
}
else
{
Serial.print(val, prec);
int vi = abs((int)val);
int flen = prec + (val < 0.0 ? 2 : 1); // . and -
flen += vi >= 1000 ? 4 : vi >= 100 ? 3 : vi >= 10 ? 2 : 1;
for (int i=flen; i<len; ++i)
Serial.print(' ');
}
// smartdelay(0);
}
void loop(){
while(gpsSerial.available()){ // check for gps data
if(gps.encode(gpsSerial.read())){ // encode gps data
// gps.get_position(&lat,&lon); // get latitude and longitude
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon);
String lat = String(flat,6);
String lon = String(flon,6);
Serial.print(lat);
Serial.print(' ');
Serial.println(lon);
if (Serial.available()>0)
RecieveMessage();
if (mySerial.available()>0)
{
//int st;
st[index++] = mySerial.read();
//Serial.write(st[index-1]);
if(index>=51&&index<=63){
st1[index-51]=st[index-1];
Serial.write(st1[index-51]);
}
if(index>=65&&index<=77){
st2[index-65]=st[index-1];
Serial.write(st2[index-65]);
}
/*if(index==77)
{
int i=0;
mySerial.print(st1);
for(i=0;i<13;i++)
{
if(st1[i]!='.')
dlat=dlat*10+(st1[i]-'0');
if(st2[i]!='.')
dlong=dlong*10+(st2[i]-'0');
//Serial.print(dlat);
}
//Serial.print(dlat);
//Serial.print(" ");
//Serial.print(dlong);
*/
}
}
}
}
P.S : I have changed the pins for GPS and rest part is same irrespective of adding AltSoftSerial it is a library same as SoftwareSerial (Download it from manage libraries and it requires pins 8 and 9)

Here is a step-by-step to mix your GPS input device and your GSM output device.
Remainder for Arduino principles:
The void setup() function is performed one time after startup.
The void loop() function is performed periodically after the
setup().
Step1 - declaration of GPS device and Serial link
// GPS and Serial link
static const int RXPin = 4, TXPin = 3;//was 4 and 3;
static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;
// The TinyGPS++ object
TinyGPSPlus DeviceGPS;
// The serial connection to the GPS device
SoftwareSerial SerialGPS(RXPin, TXPin);
Step2 - declaration of GSM/FONA device and Serial link
Including the SendTo SMS number !!!
#define FONA_RX 2//2
#define FONA_TX 3//3
#define FONA_RST 4//4
// The serial connection to the GSM device
SoftwareSerial SerialFONA = SoftwareSerial(FONA_TX, FONA_RX);
// The FONA/GSM Cellular Module device
Adafruit_FONA DeviceFONA = Adafruit_FONA(FONA_RST);
// The destination SMS number
static const char *sSendTo = "<NUMBER>";
Step3 - setup() function for (Console, GPS and GSM)
It is possible to add some extra Init.
// only execute once
void setup()
{
// Wait and Init Console
while (!Serial); // Serial over USB
Serial.begin(115200);
// Init GPS link
SerialGPS.begin(GPSBaud);
Serial.print(F("TinyGPSPlus ver: "));
Serial.println(TinyGPSPlus::libraryVersion());
// Init GSM link
SerialFONA.begin(4800);
if (! DeviceFONA.begin(SerialFONA)) {
Serial.println(F("Couldn't find FONA"));
while (1); // Stop working
}
// Add some extra Init
}
Step4 - loop() function to wait GPS location and send SMS
It is possible to use String() to create the SMS based on the
acquired DeviceGPS.location.lng() and DeviceGPS.location.lat().
// executed periodicaly
void loop()
{
// check until GPS message
while (SerialGPS.available() > 0) {
// get for a complete GPS message
DeviceGPS.encode(SerialGPS.read());
}
// flush GSM serial link
while (SerialFONA.available() > 0) {
if (DeviceFONA.available()) {
DeviceFONA.flush();
}
}
// send an SMS!
char sendto[21], message[141];
// Wait for location (lng, lat, alt) is OK
if (DeviceGPS.location.isValid()) {
// ==> create SMS with longitude & latitude
}
}

Arduino: loop function runs only once
