Component Technical Specifications

A GPS Module (like the NEO-6M or NEO-M8N) allows your project to determine its global position, altitude, and speed by receiving signals from satellites. Utilizing the NMEA 0183 protocol, it communicates via UART (Serial), making it a standard choice for tracking systems, drones, and synchronized timing applications.

Technical Specifications

Supply Voltage3.3V to 5V DC (onboard regulator usually included)
InterfaceUART (Serial) at a default baud rate of 9600
Position AccuracyApprox. 2.5 meters (Circular Error Probable)
Update Rate1 Hz to 10 Hz (model dependent)
Channels50+ channels for simultaneous satellite tracking
SensitivityUp to -167 dBm for tracking in urban canyons

Key Features for Makers

Cold Start vs. Hot StartIncludes a small rechargeable battery or supercapacitor to store satellite data (Ephemeris), enabling a "Hot Start" fix in under 1 second.
Ceramic Patch AntennaHigh-gain antenna usually included; ensure it has a clear view of the sky for the best signal acquisition.
LED IndicatorA blinking PPS (Pulse Per Second) LED typically signals a successful "3D Lock."
