hi i just try for first time somethink with an gps module (NEO-6M GY-GPS6MV2,https://pajenicko.cz/komponenty/gps/gps-modul-neo-6m-gy-gps6mv2) i try to have it turned on for 6 hours to get postition fix bud its not working wires are connected correct way so i dont know what to do can you help me? i am using arduino nano brend new just solder pin sooo i dont know what to do

thx for supoort

Is the GPS outdoors with a good view of the sky ?

3

Can you show how everything is powered and connected ?

4

i left outside for 6hours and nothink

5

i have vcc to 5v, gnd to gnd, rx - d4, tx -d3 still not working iam not sure if it can work with nano

6

I think I’m reading between the lines.
You can’t power the modem directly from the Arduino.

What’s your power supply ?
The modem needs 2A @ 5V

7

you can, i am using 5v from nano, it works for mpu and bmp

over night i was using 14,8 bat

Sounds like the GPS is not working, could be an antenna fault.

That GPS should use about 60mA when hunting for a fix so powering it from a Nano 5V supply should be OK.

Run this program, it should display the output of the GPS, be sure to set the RX and TX pins for your setup;

#define RXpin A3              //this is the pin that the Arduino will use to receive data from the GPS
#define TXpin A2              //this is the pin that the Arduino can use to send data (commands) to the GPS - not used

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial GPS(RXpin, TXpin);

void loop()
{
  while (GPS.available())
  {
    Serial.write(GPS.read());
  }
}

void setup()
{
  GPS.begin(9600);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println("GPS_Echo Starting");
}

Post the output you see in the IDE serial monitor.

I presume that is the ouput when the program has been started a few times ?

There are no characters from the GPS, if you have the pins connected OK and the right pin numbers in the sketch, the GPS is producing no output, which if it were working, it should be.

You could maybe reverse RX and TX.

now i getting this

The GPS is faulty or the GPS has a faulty antenna.

No GPS satellites are seen.

dinamick,

It is the $GNGSV sentence that tells you how many Satellites are in View.

The part of the sentence Arrowed below shows that you are receiving signals from 0 satellites, whereas I am receiving from 15.
