Review on High Sensitivity GPS Module NEO-6M for Arduino and Drone Microcontrollers / STM32 / UNO R3 - IPEX Antenna - Satellite Positioning Navigation by Rich Ferguson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cannot start with flight control: C

Never worked. I replaced BN 220 with this version. It lights up, but Betaflight doesn't recognize it. I connected another version (GPS module receiver, NEO-6M navigation satellite positioning) and had no problems with it. I put it in the Matek wing board because it has a cable from the GPS module to the antenna, so it's not suitable for the drone. I checked the instructions, desoldered everything and tried again to no avail. It lights up and receives power, but is not recognized by FC. Remove the solder joints for that GPS and solder another BN 220T to it and you should be fine. I had high hopes for this, especially considering the size of the antenna. By the way, this is the second one I've bought. I immediately returned the first one I bought, it was sent without a cable and the antenna looked like it was scratched. If you have the space then the best option would be the GPS module receiver, the NEO-6M version with navigation satellite positioning as it has solder pads and it really works.

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Little things
