Greetings!
I'm trying to connect my NEO6M GPS module with Arduino. I made the following connections:
GPS VCC -> Arduino 5V
GPS RX -> Arduino Pin3
GPS TX -> Arduino Pin4
GPS GND -> Arduino GND.
I'm using module as GY-GPS6MV2
I tried using following codes for it:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <TinyGPS.h>
/* This sample code demonstrates the normal use of a TinyGPS object.
It requires the use of SoftwareSerial, and assumes that you have a
4800-baud serial GPS device hooked up on pins 4(rx) and 3(tx).
*/
TinyGPS gps;
SoftwareSerial ss(4, 3);
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
ss.begin(4800);
Serial.print("Simple TinyGPS library v. "); Serial.println(TinyGPS::library_version());
Serial.println("by Mikal Hart");
Serial.println();
}
void loop()
{
bool newData = false;
unsigned long chars;
unsigned short sentences, failed;
// For one second we parse GPS data and report some key values
for (unsigned long start = millis(); millis() - start < 1000;)
{
while (ss.available())
{
char c = ss.read();
// Serial.write(c); // uncomment this line if you want to see the GPS data flowing
if (gps.encode(c)) // Did a new valid sentence come in?
newData = true;
}
}
if (newData)
{
float flat, flon;
unsigned long age;
gps.f_get_position(&flat, &flon, &age);
Serial.print("LAT=");
Serial.print(flat == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flat, 6);
Serial.print(" LON=");
Serial.print(flon == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_F_ANGLE ? 0.0 : flon, 6);
Serial.print(" SAT=");
Serial.print(gps.satellites() == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_SATELLITES ? 0 : gps.satellites());
Serial.print(" PREC=");
Serial.print(gps.hdop() == TinyGPS::GPS_INVALID_HDOP ? 0 : gps.hdop());
}
gps.stats(&chars, &sentences, &failed);
Serial.print(" CHARS=");
Serial.print(chars);
Serial.print(" SENTENCES=");
Serial.print(sentences);
Serial.print(" CSUM ERR=");
Serial.println(failed);
if (chars == 0)
Serial.println("** No characters received from GPS: check wiring **");
}
With this I got following things in my Serial Monitior
Simple TinyGPS lHARS=72 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=144 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=216 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
Simple TinyGPS library v. 13
by Mikal Hart
CHARS=72 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=144 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=265 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=360 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=432 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
CHARS=504 SENTENCES=0 CSUM ERR=0
Another code I that tried
#include <TinyGPS++.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
/*

*/
static const int RXPin = 4, TXPin = 3;
static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 4800;
// The TinyGPS++ object
TinyGPSPlus gps;
// The serial connection to the GPS device
SoftwareSerial ss(RXPin, TXPin);
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
ss.begin(GPSBaud);
Serial.println(F("DeviceExample.ino"));
Serial.println(F("A simple demonstration of TinyGPS++ with an attached GPS module"));
Serial.print(F("Testing TinyGPS++ library v. ")); Serial.println(TinyGPSPlus::libraryVersion());
Serial.println(F("by Mikal Hart"));
Serial.println();
}
void loop()
{
// This sketch displays information every time a new sentence is correctly encoded.
while (ss.available() > 0)
if (gps.encode(ss.read()))
displayInfo();
if (millis() > 5000 && gps.charsProcessed() < 10)
{
Serial.println(F("No GPS detected: check wiring."));
while(true);
}
}
void displayInfo()
{
Serial.print(F("Location: "));
if (gps.location.isValid())
{
Serial.print(gps.location.lat(), 6);
Serial.print(F(","));
Serial.print(gps.location.lng(), 6);
}
else
{
Serial.print(F("INVALID"));
}
Serial.print(F(" Date/Time: "));
if (gps.date.isValid())
{
Serial.print(gps.date.month());
Serial.print(F("/"));
Serial.print(gps.date.day());
Serial.print(F("/"));
Serial.print(gps.date.year());
}
else
{
Serial.print(F("INVALID"));
}
Serial.print(F(" "));
if (gps.time.isValid())
{
if (gps.time.hour() < 10) Serial.print(F("0"));
Serial.print(gps.time.hour());
Serial.print(F(":"));
if (gps.time.minute() < 10) Serial.print(F("0"));
Serial.print(gps.time.minute());
Serial.print(F(":"));
if (gps.time.second() < 10) Serial.print(F("0"));
Serial.print(gps.time.second());
Serial.print(F("."));
if (gps.time.centisecond() < 10) Serial.print(F("0"));
Serial.print(gps.time.centisecond());
}
else
{
Serial.print(F("INVALID"));
}
Serial.println();
}
For this all I got on my serial monitor is
DeviceExample.ino
A simple demonstration of TinyGPS++ with an attached GPS module
Testing TinyGPS++ library v. 1.0.2
by Mikal Hart
So I also tried changing my GPS Module Baudrate to 9600 and I got this response
DeviceExample.ino
VALID Date/Time: 0/0/2000 00:00:00.00
Location: INVALID Date/Time: 0/0/2000 00:00:00.00

What am I missing here? have I got damaged Module? Thanks in advance
