Want to use GPS data in your electronics projects? Then the NEO-6M by u-blox is the sensor for you! This low-cost yet powerful GPS receiver is based on the widely popular NEO-6 series of versatile GPS modules developed by u-blox. The design includes a connector for a small battery that allows the GPS module to hot-start, as well as EEPROM for configuring settings. To improve the standard signal reception, the design also includes an external ceramic antenna connected to the board using a U.FL connector.

This breakout board makes it easy to connect this sensor to your microcontroller board or single-board computer such as Arduino, ESP8266, BeagleBone or Raspberry Pi! The five pins correspond to power (VCC, GND), a 1PPS timepulse (PPS), and Serial UART communication (Tx, Rx).

As with all of our Breakout Boards the pin headers are included, but they're not soldered in to allow for different use cases!

Features

• Serial UART digital-output of GPS data (UART TTL, 9600bps)
• Compatible with various flight controller boards designed to work with a GPS module, e.g., APM2.0 and APM2.5
• Power Supply: 3.3~5VDC (onboard low dropout regulator)
• This breakout PCB facilitates using the NEO-6M, specially on solderless breadboards!
• Sturdy (1.6mm), blue PCB with an 8-pin header on one side (Vdd, Vss, Tx, Rx, and PPS)
• Dimension: 36×26mm.
• 5-Pin header included (requires soldering!)
