GPS Module with Arduino- Ublox NEO-6M
Let's explore, how to interface NEO-6M GPS Module with Arduino Uno. GPS Module supports serial communication. We'll receive NMEA sentences on arduino serial monitor. Later on we will learn how to decode NMEA sentence by simply parsing. We can easily extract latitude and longitude information from NEO-6M GPS Module. We'll also show exact location on google map. This can be very useful when we wish to build Arduino based GPS Tracker or similar projects.

Having this much power with so little skills required used to be a dream now you can literally build any hardware with a bit of programming knowledge using these modules.
I think I've seen the Arduino/gps trick before, 2 or 3 years ago. Today somehow I had everything trashed out and you helped me find my way out of the jungle, thanks :-)

Hi Binary Updates. Thank You for the good detailed information on the Ublox NEO-6M gps module. I am going to buy this exact module for a Chromebook that have converted to Android-x86 to use as a dedicated tablet for a drone flying app. I am going to crack open the Chromebook and hopefully be able to figure out a UART location to solder the appropriate pins to along with the 3.3 VDC supply pad,,for module. From doing a lot of reading on these GPS modules there are always manual configurations you have to enter in a couple config files in linux. Have never actually found a how to on Android,which is surprising. Hopefully I can make it work.
Thank you for this (very) clear introduction !

Hi Michel, you're very welcome! Best Wishes
Thanks for shareing your knowledge i'm using the same GPS Module for Sole projects ;-)
BINARY UPDATES makes a useful point in an earlier comment: The TX pin on the UNO connector is connected to the *RX* pin on the chip that communicates with the PC. UBLOX datasheet says TX is an output from its chip, so TX-TX means we're connecting the output of the GPS to the input of the USB converter, which is correct. If you wanted GPS to talk to the Arduino instead of the PC, then you'd need to swap TX/RX. As far as I can tell, the PCB doesn't swap the names, but I remain to be convinced of that..

I need gps tracker coding for Arduino or NodeMCU
Question: If the light doesn't turn on on the neo6m, does that mean I shorted it out? I'm still getting values from the SM, they just don't make any sense.
Amazing video.. To get knowledge about GPS module
My daughter tried to connect gps to arduine but could not get any responce. The light ddid not show The connection was correct as per yours but no signe of responce. I tried to help her withe soldering the 4 jumpers and i checked the ohm and the are all 4 pins connected. Is this normal or may be the medual is deffected?
How much did it take for you to get the full line of data? Mine has been on it for about 5 mints and I don't really see much progress!
Hello Sir. Could you make a video on how to use arduino with gps to turn on or off a relay based on speed detected. I'll like to have a gps control relay to turn some lights on in my car when current speed is 10mph. Thank you.
Is the location of the piece determined at the moment? Or experience talking about the itinerary of the trip to and from?
hello is it possible to collect and read the gps data to a cloud using this arduino and neo-6m gps module? how can i do that? Would be grateful for your kind response. Thanks.

Great video I have learnt many key points
This video is well explained. But Facepalm after 5 minutes. If you use the 3.3 Volts from the arduino, cause the neo 6m module is only 3.3 volt toleranted, then use a levelshifter for the tx line aswell. The arduino will send the data via tx pin as a 5volt signal bro.

Does this module have different version? At 4:35 When you connected ground wire, the led immediate lit up. Mine doesn't. Anyway, I get gps data from serial port. So it's fine right? Also how long does it take for GPGLL to complete? I left it on for 5 minute and still got incomplete data.

Hi Pal, I've used Ublox NEO-6M Module in the video lesson. The ability of GPS module to take GPLL data depends on location where you've placed GPS Module. If its place in open space where GPS module finds satellite quickly then you get GPLL data quickly otherwise it takes time to get exact data. Now how long is bascially depends on place again where you're testing your module
I have some questions for you: What is the GPS module supply voltage on this video ? 3.3v or 5v ?? Do you easily have problems to get satellites fixes ? Since you are indoor.. ?? Where is your clock located in the house ? 1rst floor ? Basement ? Do you use GPS repeater to get sat signals ? I built 2 clock GPS driven using another type of GPS module than the NEO-6M and I'm having a hard time to get satellites signals.. Thanks !

On voltage levels, as far as I can tell the module does accept 5V supply as it has a regulator. But UBLOX says the the data isn't 5V tolerant. It's 3.3V CMOS, 3.6V absolute max. The module doesn't add any protection to the TX/RX lines. For breadboarding, I'd stick a 1k resistor in series with each line.

While the power delivered to the NEO 6M can be 5 volts since it has an onboard voltage regulator, the data lines do not allow for 5 volts and unless a voltage divider or line level shifter are incorporated the voltage of the UNO data lines will destroy most of the NEO 6M's in time.

Hi Ronald, Its possible considering lots of Arduino board these days come in market with poor design and power issues. I've used quality Arduino and because of good power and grounding my NEO-6M Ublox GPS Module has tolerated voltage. And it worked in my case without causing any damage to GPS Module. There are so many cheap clones with loosely designed board. And these board needs to be careful with.....This is just my opinion. By the way thanks for sharing. Have a good day
