Amazing GPS Module for GPS System Accessories

This chip is a clone of U-Blox Neo-6m. U-blox.com has a lot of documentation on U-blox.com. This is a 5 volt device. With Rx and Tx both 5v. The standard baud rate is 9600 bps, which is higher than that of conventional modules. It works with TinyGPS and Adadfruit GPS libraries once connected. You can use the USB Micro-B connector to access the chip directly. The U-blox U-Center software communicates directly via USB. U-Center is complex and powerful, but intimidating. Since the device is a clone, not all features are guaranteed to work through U-Center, but many useful settings will work. Another direct USB software is VisualGPSView. (Free) A USB connection is different from a serial connection and may use a different baud rate. Double check which ones: - the baud rates used - the voltages used on each pin - the reversed Rx Tx pins just to make sure it took me a lot of effort to figure this info out so give it a try. I love this module and already use several. He is very sensitive and recovers quickly.

Pros
  • GOLS Certification
Cons
  • Obsolete Model
