Arduino MKR GSM 1400 with GPS module

Hello!

I have an Arduino MKR GSM 1400 that I want to be able to fetch the current GPS position (using a separate GPS module) with and send it to a web server (API).

The GPS module I have is this one: https://www.electrokit.com/uploads/productfile/41012/FGPMMOPA6H_BOBR11.pdf

I've tried to use the Adafruit GPS library. First, I tried using the SoftwareSerial library but I got the following error:

This version of SoftwareSerial supports only 20, 16 and 8MHz processors

So I've tried using the HardwareSerial. Does anyone know which ports of the GPS module should be connected to which ports on the Arduino MKR GSM? Is this whole thing even going to work or do I need something else?

Thanks!

Suggests there is a serial port on pins 13,14.

Yes, I've tried connecting serial 13 (RX) to the "RX" port of my GPS module and serial 14 (TX) to the TX port of my GPS module. The only other thing I can vary is the "baud rate" which should be 9600 according to the specification of the GPS module I initially posted.

Tried connecting Rx to Tx and Tx to Rx?

I feel quite stupid now. That did the trick, thanks a lot! :slight_smile:

Thanks for telling! You are not the first guy "trying that", and not the last.....
