How to get started with GPS Receiver NEO-6MV2

The NEO-6 module series is a family of stand-alone GPS receivers featuring the high performance 6 positioning engine. The 50-channel 6 positioning engine boasts a Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF) of under 1 second. The dedicated acquisition engine, with 2 million correlators, is capable of massive parallel time/frequency space searches, enabling it to find satellites instantly. Innovative design and technology suppresses jamming sources and mitigates multi-path effects, giving NEO-6 GPS receivers excellent navigation performance even in themost challenging environments. All NEO-6 modules are based on GPS chips qualified according to AEC-Q100’ industry proven PPP algorithm provides extremely high levels of position accuracy in static and slow moving applications, and makes the NEO-6P an ideal solution for a variety of high precision applications such as surveying, mapping, marine, agriculture or leisure activities. The SPI interface allows for the connection of external devices with a serial interface.

Overview

The module has 4 pins :

  • VCC: Power supply
  • GND: Ground
  • RX: Receiver
  • TX: Transmit

The module is incredibly simple: it just spits non stop NMEA data strings to the TX pin. NMEA” stands for “National Marine Electronics Association” and is a standard text protocol shared by all GPS.

Connecting the GPS Module to Arduino

To connect your GPS module to Arduino, use a +5V from the power side of the Arduino and any ground pin. Any two pins will work for the serial communication, but on this tutorial we will use 3 and 4:

  • Connect Arduino pin 3 to the RX pin of the GPS Module.
  • Connect Arduino pin 4 to the TX pin of the GPS Module.

 

Installing a library: TinyGPSplus

Open your Arduino IDE and go to Sketch>>Include Libraries>>Manage Libraries.

Search for TinyGPSplus and install the Library.

After installing the library, upload this codes into your board. It’s FullExample edited sketch.

#include <TinyGPSPlus.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
/*
This sample code demonstrates the normal use of a TinyGPSPlus (TinyGPSPlus) object.
It requires the use of SoftwareSerial, and assumes that you have a
4800-baud serial GPS device hooked up on pins 4(rx) and 3(tx).

Here we used 115200 baud rate and RX and TX of GPS are connected to 3 and 4 respectively. To know that your GPS has got connected, its LED will blink continuously. If not yet blinking, wait a moment.

Open your Serial Monitor, set your baud rate(115200) and you should get the coordinates.
