TinyGPS++ isn't being updated or SoftwareSerial isn't reading
I'm trying to read the GPS data on an Arduino Uno from a Neo-6M module and print it on a LCD display. However, no variable is being changed by the read function. This could either be because of an incorrect reading of the gps variable or a wrong use of the SoftwareSerial library.
Here's the code:
#include <TinyGPS++.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>
#include <splash.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
Adafruit_SSD1306 display; // Create display
SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(4,3);//rx,tx
float lati=0,longi=0;
float sat=0;
TinyGPSPlus gps; // create gps object
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
Serial.begin(9600);
gpsSerial.begin(9600); // connect gps sensor
display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C); // Initialize display with the I2C address of 0x3C
display.clearDisplay();
display.setTextColor(WHITE);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
display.clearDisplay();
gps.encode(gpsSerial.read());
display.setCursor(80,3);
display.print("R");
//if(gps.location.isUpdated())
{
lati = gps.location.lat();
longi = gps.location.lng();
sat = gps.satellites.value();
display.setCursor(100,3);
display.print("U");
}
display.setCursor(20,20);
display.print(lati);
display.setCursor(20,40);
display.print(longi);
display.setCursor(100,40);
display.print(sat);
display.drawRect(0,0,127,63,WHITE);
display.display();
}
EDIT: The data coming from gpsSerial is a series of -1
EDIT 2: Swapping SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(4,3); to SoftwareSerial gpsSerial(4,3); makes it output a series of ints. However, encoding it with gps.encode(gpsSerial.read()) still doesn't update the data.

no prints to Serial? why not use it for debug prints or connect the gps to it?

I'm powering the arduino with a battery to be able to go outside to test the reception, so I'm printing the information on the screen to read it as it's collected
