GPS Receiver for Arduino embeds a GPS module and antenna in a small enclosure. Using the TinyGPS library, Arduino retrieves geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude), speed, heading, and GMT time. Unlike most phone GPS (1Hz update rate), this receiver offers 1~10Hz, reducing data intervals for demanding applications like fast-moving vehicles. For details, refer to attached documents.

FAQ
hey...is it possible to replace the arduino card with Raspberry Pi? and to display the location of the robot on my phone instead of the LCD?
Right after importing the required libraries (the hex commands can be found in the documentation) :
const char UBLOX_INIT[] PROGMEM = {
// Reset to manufacturer defaults
0xB5,0x62,0x06,0x09,0x0D,0x00,0xFF,0xFF,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0xFF,0xFF,0x00,0x00,0x07,0x1F,0x9E,
// Enable UBX
0xB5,0x62,0x06,0x01,0x08,0x00,0x01,0x07,0x00,0x01,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x18,0xE1, //NAV-PVT on
// Update Rate
0xB5,0x62,0x06,0x08,0x06,0x00,0x64,0x00,0x01,0x00,0x01,0x00,0x7A,0x12 //Update 10Hz
};
And then in the setup:
void setup(){
...
for(int i = 0; i < sizeof(UBLOX_INIT); i++) {
serial.write( pgm_read_byte(UBLOX_INIT+i) );
delay(5); // simulating a 38400baud pace (or less), otherwise commands are not accepted by the device.
}
...
}
I have it working nicely with a UNO using soft serial and TinyGPS, but it doesn't work with a Mega 2650. I get some text over the serial port, but no lock or GPS valid data. Status is always V, not A. I've tried hard serial ports and soft serial, no luck. Is there something about the Mega 2650 that doesn't 'play nice' with this GPS?
my bad, some kind of interference on my protoshield. When I disconnect everything else, it works.
