TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 64 found

[killsecurly]

Using CircuitPython / board.UART / Pi Pico 2 for:

import micropyGPS, board, busio, adafruit_gps

uart = busio.UART(board.GP16, board.GP17, baudrate=9600, timeout=100)
adagps = adafruit_gps.GPS(uart, debug=False)

adagps.send_command(b'PMTK314,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0')
adagps.send_command(b"PMTK220,1000")

gps = micropyGPS.MicropyGPS()

while True:
    data = uart.read(64)  # read up to 64 bytes
    # print(data)  # this is a bytearray type

    if data is not None:
        data_string = ''.join([chr(b) for b in data])
        gps.update(data_string)

Once ran, it provides:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "code.py", line 14, in <module>
  File "micropyGPS.py", line 563, in update
TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 75 found

I'm not a pro with circuitpython but I did the same mistake at the first use.

MicroGPS parse only Char by Char and you are submitting "data_string",

You should write :

for x in data_string() :
my_gps.update(x)
