SIR,
&nbsp;I was really delighted to come&nbsp; across&nbsp; your ( RCAP)&nbsp; design so I decided&nbsp; to make it 
&nbsp;After assembling it&nbsp; was disappointed&nbsp; that&nbsp; it does not work at all so here what I did 
1- I made the PCB&nbsp; as in the project 
2- Then&nbsp; I&nbsp; programmed the &nbsp;PIC&nbsp;&nbsp; using&nbsp; MPLAB IDE&nbsp; v7.20
3- I hooked up everything&nbsp; ( GPS-SERVO -)&nbsp; but&nbsp; no response 
4- I trouble shoot every step I made and the component on the PCB as followed :
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a- I looked up the schematic diagram&nbsp; and I found that&nbsp; (R5) in deferent place other&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; than in the illustrated&nbsp; picture&nbsp; in the project&nbsp; &gt;&gt; anyway&nbsp; it was not big deal to
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; notice&nbsp; &lt;&lt;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b- after I programmed the&nbsp; PIC&nbsp; and&nbsp; there were no response , so I tracked the signal 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; that should coming out from PIC pins&nbsp; with the oscilloscope&nbsp; to make sure that the 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PIC working and it was good as&nbsp; a signal 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So &nbsp;I tested the HEX file with the PIC IDE simulator&nbsp;&nbsp; and the result was&nbsp; repeating&nbsp; 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; forever some certain loop&nbsp; and the LED&nbsp; that should response on the simulator does 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; not show any thing &nbsp;even with or with out&nbsp; the on /off trigger on( pin 25 or the pass 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; thru pin 24 )&gt;&gt; does it wait for some certain command&nbsp; or something like that ???&lt;&lt;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; c- I used the debug&nbsp; hex file to see if there is any deference&nbsp; but no response again 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;after all I think I came to dead end with your project&nbsp; especially after I burn almost all 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; my brain cells&nbsp; &gt;hopefully not all of it &lt; I decided to send you a message&nbsp; to help me 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; not burning the rest&nbsp; of my brain so if you please can&nbsp; you point out&nbsp; what I did wrong&nbsp;and which&nbsp; interface do I have to use in the GPS ( GARMIN/GARMIN or NMEA / NMEA)&nbsp; ??? BLUETHUNDE8000 &gt; right now its just&nbsp; BLUE&nbsp;
