The NEO-6M GPS Module is one of the most popular and widely supported navigation boards in the maker community. Designed around the trusted Ublox NEO-6M chipset, this module provides highly accurate global positioning data—including latitude, longitude, altitude, and time—directly to your microcontroller using a simple UART serial interface.

This classic blue-board variant comes complete with a high-gain active ceramic patch antenna, ensuring strong satellite acquisition right out of the box. It features an onboard EEPROM and a rechargeable backup battery, which saves configuration data and satellite ephemeris. This allows the module to perform ultra-fast "hot starts" when powered back on, locking onto a signal in seconds rather than minutes.

Perfect For:

  • DIY Navigation Systems: An essential component for building custom GPS trackers, digital compasses, or geocaching devices.

  • Flight Controllers: Widely compatible with custom drones, RC aircraft, and autonomous rovers.

  • Microcontroller Prototyping: Easily integrates with standard 3.3V and 5V development boards using standard NMEA data parsing libraries.

Technical Specifications:

  • GPS Chipset: Ublox NEO-6M

  • Operating Voltage: 3.3V to 5V DC (Onboard voltage regulator)

  • Communication Interface: UART (Default Baud Rate: 9600 bps)

  • Data Protocol: Standard NMEA 0183

  • Antenna Type: Included active ceramic patch antenna (U.FL / IPEX connection)

  • Cold Start Time-to-First-Fix (TTFF): ~27 seconds

  • Hot Start Time-to-First-Fix (TTFF): ~1 second

  • Features: Onboard EEPROM for saving settings and a rechargeable coin cell battery for fast satellite acquisition
