Any update on getting the GPS to also work with this converter box on the 996P2?
Order it programmed and the program will work with all the mentioned chips without any action required.I see HobbyTronics sells their board preprogrammed for serial option FTDI, CP210X, PL2303, CH340, CDC. Do we just order them preprogrammed or do we need to program them with something else?
Mark Nelson detected an error in the schematic that neither Ric or I caught. The HobbyTronics USB Host requires 5vdc, not 12 so should be connected to the 5V line coming out of the Nano.
I updated the schematic and posted it at Updated Schematic 2-24-19

Here is the specs and updated instructions for the USB version. It seems to work fine for Ric but I have had some issues at my end, probably for some unrelated issues with my radio.
Basically you need to add a HobbyTronics USB host to the mix, the updated schematic is shown on page 8.

Can you make a video showing this setup on a Phase II P-25? Thank You.Finally found the time to build this. Works perfectly! Thanks Ric & Rich! This will make my drive better once I set it up in the car (should be tomorrow).
Here's my video of it working:
