NEO-6M GPS Module

The NEO-6M GPS Module is a widely used satellite positioning module ideal for projects requiring precise GPS data such as vehicle tracking, autonomous robots, drones, and IoT monitoring. Featuring the u-blox NEO-6M chipset, this development board offers fast signal acquisition and stable satellite lock, even in urban environments.

It outputs data using the NMEA protocol over UART (TX/RX), which is easily readable by microcontrollers like the Arduino UNO, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi. The default baud rate is 9600 bps, making it simple to plug and play in most development environments.

The module includes an external active GPS antenna and a built-in EEPROM to retain configuration even after power cycles. Additionally, its onboard voltage regulator makes it safe for 5V systems, though the NEO-6M itself operates at 3.3V.

🛰️ Whether you’re building a real-time vehicle tracker, a navigation-enabled robot, or a GPS logger, this compact board is a perfect fit. Its precision and reliability make it a staple for any GPS-enabled project.

⚠️ Precautions & Usage Tips:

• Always connect the external antenna before powering the module for reliable satellite lock.

• Allow at least 30 seconds for initial GPS fix in outdoor environments.

• Use in open areas for best satellite reception—indoors may yield weak or no signal.

• Avoid long jumper wires to reduce UART signal errors.

• For low-power systems, disable unused sentences in NMEA output via u-center software.

GPS second pulse signal PPS one second, its role is used to indicate the time of the whole second, and the moment is usually marked with the rising edge of the PPS pulse. Because GPS can give UTC time, but the user will receive a time delay, then in order to fine timing, the introduction of the rising edge of the PPS signal to mark UTC the whole second moment, the accuracy can be nanoseconds, and there is no cumulative error.
