GPS Ublox NEO6MV2 Module
Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2017 10:00 pm
Hi guys.. Thought I would share this one, I have a few of these GPS boards GYNEO6MV2 and I'm surprised considering the price how well they work!..
If you haven't experimented with GPS before then they maybe a little daunting at first but there is a lot of information on the web.
What I like is that you can use a cool windows programme by Ublox called Ucenter, this programme is useful to setup the GPS module (obviously this isn't required as they come ready to use) but you can change many settings via Ucenter,
but what I really like is once the GPS board is connected to Ucenter via a usb to serial converter you can use all the tools and gauges to show what satellites you're GPS module is picking up.
Communicating to the GPS module is via Usart.
