U BLOX NEO-6M NEO6MV2 GPS IN PAKISTAN

U BLOX NEO-6M NEO6MV2 GPS IN PAKISTAN  engine on these modules is quite a good one, and it also has high sensitivity for indoor applications. Furthermore, there’s one MS621FE-compatible rechargeable battery for backup and EEPROM for storing configuration settings. The module works well with a DC input in the 3.3- to 5-V range (thanks to its built-in voltage regulator). The original circuit diagram of the module, borrowed from the web, is shown below:

As indicated, the GPS modules are based on the u-blox NEO-6M GPS engine. The type number of the NEO-6M is NEO-6M-0-001, and its ROM/FLASH version is ROM 7.0.3 (PCN reference UBX-TN-11047-1). The NEO-6M module includes one configurable UART interface for serial communication, but the default UART (TTL) baud rate here is 9,600. Because the GPS signal is right-hand circular-polarized (RHCP), the style of the GPS antenna will be different from the common whip antennas used for linear polarized signals. The most popular antenna type is the patch antenna. Patch antennas are flat, generally have a ceramic and metal body, and are mounted on a metal base plate. They are often cast in a housing. For more information about u-blox reference designs, see their website. Remember, the position of the antenna mounting is very crucial for optimal performance of the GPS receiver. When using the patch antenna, it should be oriented parallel to the geographic horizon. The antenna must have full view of the sky, ensuring a direct line of sight with as many visible satellites as possible.

Initial test setup

For a quick test using your Windows computer, you just need to establish a serial communication with the U BLOX NEO-6M NEO6MV2 GPS IN PAKISTAN using one USB-UART adapter like the PL2303 USB-to-Serial Converter module. The hardware setup is pretty simple:
