GPS Module with Internal & External Antenna (u-blox NEO-M8N)

GPS Module

GPS is build with u-blox M8 NEO-M8N module with an integrated built in active antenna.

The NEO-M8 series provides high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times while maintaining low power usage.

The NEO-M8N integrates a 72-channel u-blox M8 GNSS engine that supports multiple GNSS systems ( Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS / QZSS ) and able to receive 3 GNSS systems simultaneously.

The series communicate protocol between M5Core and GPS is UART, physically connected via UART2 (GPIO16, GPIO17)

If you want to change the UART baud-rate, please check here ( u-center-just-for-Windows )

Notice: GPS signal can only be found outdoors

UART protocol: baud rate (default is 9600bps), data bit (8 bits), start bit (1 bit), stop bit (1 bit), Parity (none)
