Extract GPS location in Arduino with Ublox Neo-6 and Neo 7m GPS modules

[@rwl7532]

The Latitude and Longitude separated by the comma can be copied and then pasted directly into Google Maps' Search here line. Then you can see how accurate your GPS is. Great vid.

[@robojax]

Thanks.

[@richardvasquez5912]

I'm getting nothing but blank GPS data, like that shown in the begging of this video. Does that code do any writing to configure the GPS device before it will work correctly?

[@robojax]

everything you need to do is shown in the video. you may not be receiving GPS signal. try a better location exposed to sky. if you are located above the equator, then point it to south-up and if you are below the equator, then point it to north-up

[@richardvasquez5912]

@@robojax Thank you. I did try that. We're standing away from buildings and trees, but I still don't get anything after 5 whole minutes. Do I need to give it more time than that to lock in a signal?

[@robojax]

no. 5min is enough. something is wrong. Try method shown in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHS7ioNsfZiaiac

Great Video! 😀 Appreciate your hard work to make it with all the illustrations. Thank You! I ordered one (6M, I think?) and will use your video and methodology to get it running.

I have the GPS module with the buit-in ceramic antenna and the SMA connecter for external antenna. Is the external antenna detected and the device switches to the appropriate antenna or some capacitor/resistance need to be removed/added? I'm asking because mine works well with the external antenna but very poorly with the built-in antenna (I'm comparing the to similar devices with ceramic antenna only).

[@robojax]

Hi, generally you need to remove or add something to establish connection to the new antenna. Wherever you purchased it three should provide you the details or just do an image search using bing or google, I am sure you will find information for that.

Hi, I'm just wondering, do you have to use the RX pin on the GPS module? What does the RX pin do exactly, like what does the gps need to get from arduino

[@robojax]

Hi, GPS module has a lot of parameters that can be set with the library including the refresh rate(very important) and other which we are not concerted with. I have another video that you can get coordinates without library. The link is in the description of this video.

Hi sir, thank you for the video. I did follow the steps that you've shown in the video, but I cannot obtain any output in my serial monitor. I'm using gps 6m, aduino uno and I also put the gps besides my window. But still, there is no gps signal. Can you help me please.

[@robojax]

other than telling you to check wiring and library and making sure your Serial monitor is set at correct baud rate, I can't see problem. snag.gy/y3pKwG.jpg

[@SauvikRoy]

I have neo-8m gps module. The baud rate on that one is 115200. The UNO seems to be just too slow for that. Plus the TinyGPS library wouldn't work for newer generations. I'm still trying to get it to work. I found out neogps library should work with it. The problem is too many crc errors. Any hints?

[@estebancachago7868]

Hey! I have some questions: - Can I use Neo-6 or Neo-7 for indoor purposes? If yes, how much can the module be obstructed? (I mean using the module under a roof, or into low floors in a building).

[@robojax]

No you can't . It needs direct view of sky to receive signals.

[@Dancopymus]

It's a late answer but, I believe that installing an external antenna will work!

[@Photoss73]

I have two Neo-6 modules that works in the house (in a plastic box, for protection)(ceramic antenna), at 1st or 2nd floor, but an other that only works outside. Sometimes it seems to be very sensitiv, or can the 3.15GHz go through the windows ?

[@kostassomataridis3141]

Thank you for the video. I can send the gps data signal from arduino to my cell phone but is it possible to use that data to get a live pin to a map, without updating all the time? (Maybe with an app or a website?) Thank you very much for your time.

[@robojax]

You are welcome. Yes it is possible but it needs a service. I have a plan to create such service but it is a lot of work. You find Amazon AWS free service that takes data from GPS from Arduino and your app can connect to the service. Search Amazon AWS.

Hello, so check the wiring. First test your code without connecting the GPS module. if you are getting the same data, then it means GPS is not receiving or sending data to Arduino. Also have you checked this video which very simple without library: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHS7ioNsfZiaiac

this can give you the location. It is up to you whatever you want to do with it. Perhaps one way would be to use Bluetooth or WiFi to send it to your phone. You will need module for that and then you will need an app to make it work. search for "bluetooth" on my channel and see if I have something you can use.

how accurate your GPS is ? Description 3m - real about 3m - outside - Max read working speed about 1 sec - satellites move so you get +/- 5 m - good idea to calculate average for 10 results ( the best calculate during 90 sec )

Many little errors and shortcut text in this video. You say connect to pin2, but plug a wire into what is labelled D1. You talk about the Serial Monitor connection, when the statements you refer to are for the software serial connection, which is what communicates with the GPS. Then 'connect Tx on the GPS to rx', but omit the additional words 'on the Arduino'. Kind of misleading. Difficult to give it a thumbs up.

[@robojax]

Than you for your comment. I appreciate it. I am not sure if you are familiar with Arduino, in this context which we get the data using Arduino board, Serial Monitor is within Arduino an pin2 is also refers to pin 2 of Arduino. I will read the errors in text. The title of the video is the words "in Arduino". I am sorry if you felt mislead. But greatly appreciate your comment.
