Hello I'm a student and new to Arduino. We have a project of creating a GPS system and I decided to use the neo 6m GPS. So here is my set up.
Transceiver:
Neo 6M GPS
HC 12 - (Transmitter)
voltage regulator
Receiver:
HC 12 - (Receives from transmitter)
Arduino uno (Read and interprets data)
Is this enough? wirings will come later if these ones are ok
Start with one GPS module, and one Arduino, and make sure you get that working correctly and receiving valid data, before thinking about radios.
Research is much more meaningful when one does a Internet search for similar projects.
Make Your Own GPS Transmitter with the HC-12 Transceiver - Projects (allaboutcircuits.com)
The diagram posted above suggests to connect a 3.3V GPS module to a 5V Arduino without using logic level converters, which can destroy both the GPS module and the Arduino.
I recommend to avoid that tutorial.
I tried the serial monitor thing, where you have to convert it for a proper latitude and longitude without injecting code.
So, it only needs a voltage regulator right? but can I ask why it needs two GPS modules?
Sorry, I have no idea what that means.
This GPS echo program will work with any module. If you are using a 5V Arduino, make sure that you know how to safely connect a 3.3V GPS module.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); //GPS (RX, TX), Only GPS TX is needed. Check correct pin assignments and baud rate
void setup() {
mySerial.begin(9600);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("GPS start");
}
void loop() {
while (mySerial.available()) {
Serial.write(mySerial.read());
}
}
Hi, @danielo127
This will help.
Have you Googled;
arduino gps
Can you please tell us your electronics, programming, arduino, hardware experience?
If you are just starting out, then begin with small steps, before getting totally into your main project.
