This GPS / GNSS module is a more advanced version of the NEO-6M module. Compatible with UART-capable devices including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PIC, MSP430, and MSP432.

Power the module and it will automatically acquire satellite signals and a position fix. Once it has a position fixed the module will blink the on-board LED. This LED will continue to blink while the module has a position fix.

Description:

•  Input Supply Voltage Range: 3.3V-6V, onboard voltage regulator, maintains 3.3V

• I/O Maximum Logic Level: 3.6V

• To use with a 5V logic device, such as an Arduino, we suggest level shifting the 5V TX signal using one of the following

• Two 1N4148 diodes in series between the TX pin on your 5V device and the RX pin on this GPS module (will drop the voltage to ~3.6V, Only recommended for baud rates of 9600 and less ) or Use a logic level converter module such as the Addicore Bi-Directional Logic Level Converter

• 1 second to first fix (TTFF) for hot starts

• 26 seconds to first fix (TTFF) for cold starts

• On board LED will blink after module acquires a position fix and will continue blinking as long as the module has a fix

• 72-channel u-blox M8 engine GPS/QZSS L1 C/A, GLONASS L10F, BeiDou B1I, Galileo E1B/C, SBAS L1 C/A: WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN

• UART: 9600 baud by default, but is configurable from 4800 to 460800 baud

• 18Hz max update rate

• -157dBm Hotstart sensitivity

• Position Accuracy: 2 m and better with multiple good satellite signals

• Velocity Accuracy: 0.05 m/s 

• Maximum Velocity: 500 m/s

• Heading Accuracy: 0.3 degrees while moving

• Power-optimized architecture with built-in autonomous power saving functions to minimize power consumption at any given time. Furthermore, the receiver can be used in two operating modes: Continuous mode for best performance or Power Save Mode for optimized power consumption respectively.

• Onboard EEPROM for configuration storage

• Onboard battery for battery-backed RAM (BBR)

•  Battery is recharged through a simple diode and resistor charger circuit from the on-board voltage regulator's 3.3V output

• Four plated mounting holes, 3mm in diameter

• Dimensions of GPS Module: 36mm (1.42in) x 25.8mm (1.02in) x 4mm (0.16in)

• Dimensions of Antenna: 25.5mm (1in) x 25.5mm (1in) x 8.8mm (0.35in)
