Jan 10, 2020 at 17:50 comment added MarayJay thank you for all your hints and support! :O Unfortunately I ran out of time...I had to present a working system today, and had to invest my time in other things, since this is only a very small part of my project. now the deadline is over and after several night shifts, I honestly don't have the energy to persue this any further. But if I or anyone from our lab finds a way, I will let you know! :)

Jan 8, 2020 at 16:39 comment added MarayJay The manual of the LiDAR says that it expects RS-232 communication (Higher voltage). But honestly, at this point I'm not sure anymore. I just need it to work
Jan 8, 2020 at 16:32 comment added orithena @MarayJay "may be configured for" may mean that you'll have to tell the GPS chip the exact format before using it. Also, I'm not sure whether you actually need the RS232 shield. Maybe you can just directly wire the Arduino pin 6 to the GPS board.

Jan 8, 2020 at 16:14 comment added MarayJay - You are right. However, in an other part of the document, the say >"The GPRMC record may be configured for HHMMSS, HHMMSS.s, HHMMSS.ss, and HHMMSS.sss formats." So this should be right as well... - Yess nice input! I changed this and will edit my question. However, it still doesnt work :S
Jan 8, 2020 at 16:13 comment added MarayJay - Indeed i set the softwareSerial to Pin7 & 6. This is because I have the RS-232 shield mounted on top of the Arduino, which executes the communication. It has it's own TX LED that's flasching, when data is sent via RS-232. So this should be right - Maybe my schematic was a bit confusing. i connected the Arduino Tx to the Lidar RX, so this should also work (i tested the connection). I will update my schematic.
