Review on 🛰️ DIYmall 6M GPS Module with EEPROM for MWC/AeroQuad: Antenna-equipped Arduino Flight Control Aircraft Solution by Joe Drew

2nd update: CircuitPython can be used to read NMEA sentences with NEO-6M. which is nice. But if you want to do more, you'll have to code more to do it. This seems to put me in a <1m position when I'm in the Great Plains of Kansas and a 2-3m position when I'm in western Washington. What, I'm sure, could be done better than with a slightly more open sky, like in a park? I really like this module with CircuitPython. But trying to use Ublox for customization and control is a nightmare. I've found many other solutions that people have but they haven't worked yet. I also use Mac with MacOSX. So if you're using a Windows PC, chances are you have more options. But despite my limited functionality, I like this device. UPDATE: I spent about 8-10 hours on this before I was able to run it. This position. I carefully followed the NEOGPS-master-2 instructions from Github and failed forever. I also tried several other programs. I finally found TinyGPSPlus. And that's how it all started. Then I came back and NEOGPS magically worked. If you're patient and willing to spend a whole day fumbling around, this will work pretty well. Absolute GPS). It only lasted a few hours. This NEO seemed to be getting a decent signal from my house! Ada seems much more stable with slightly lower precision numbers (probably not a big deal) but doesn't pick up a signal from the inside and takes time to sync from the outside. Looking forward to using both in different projects.-- -------------ORIG: Spent 5 hours and got nothing. For starters, RX and TX appear to be swapped. The only time I get data from it is when the GPS TX is connected to the Arduino TX and the GPS RX is connected to the Arduino RX. The second important issue. If you connect it as per the "Engineering Portal" link then something bad is likely to happen to the device as other documentation says it is a 3.3v serial bus and the Arduino is a 5v serial bus trades. There's a long rave review on how cool this is, but it's from some company and the link seems to be dead now. If you go to the 'Engineering Portal' website at this point, you'll find that this is only half the software you need when you search through several GPS libraries available for this (only to find that most be copied and pasted from it). that you have to look at several different header files to change them with "diagnostic" software just doesn't work. I think I will send it back. I recommend sticking with the Adafruit brand. 40+ iron pieces work for me without fail. Every time I try a third party fake there always seems to be missing information and hurdles that don't separate.
