GPS Module NEO-M8N - (GPS / Galileo / Beidou / GLONASS Signal)

Features

• Concurrent reception of up to 3 GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou)
• Output Baud Rate: 9600bps (can be modified by U-CENTER)
• Output Frequency: 1Hz (can be modified by U-CENTER)
• Output Protocol: NMEA-0183
• Output Level: serial communication TTL level
• With IPEX and SMA convenient for connecting with the external active antenna, stronger satellite search ability
• Rechargeable backup battery
• Compatible with 5V / 3.3V, applicable for various MCUs
• Compact and excellent performance
• EEprom to save configuration settings

* PPS should be connected to the clock pulse output (CPOUT) of a MCU. This pin is unconnected if GPS module is connected to a computer.

Connect to an Arduino

/* Connection to UNO
VCC - Arduino 5v
GND - Arduino GND
TXD - Arduino D0
RXD - No connect
PPS - No connect

If want to use this on Leonardo, have to rename all the "Serial" to "Serial1"
