GY-NEO6MV2 / 180943

First connect 5V power to the module so that the internal battery can start charging for at least 1 hour best for 2 hours
before continuing with this tutorial.
Hardware Overview:
Receiver Type: 50 channels, GPS L1(1575.42Mhz)
Horizontal Position Accuracy: 2.5m
Navigation Update Rate: 1HZ (5Hz maximum)
Capture Time: Cool start: 27sHot start: 1s
Navigation Sensitivity: -161dBm
Communication Protocol: NMEA, UBX Binary, RTCM
Serial Baud Rate: 4800-230400 (default 9600)
Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
Operating Voltage: 2.7V ~ 3.6V
Operating Current: 45mA
TXD/RXD Impedance: 510Ω

There is an LED on the NEO-6M GPS Module which indicates the status of Position Fix. It’ll blink at various states depending
on what state it’s in:
No Blinking – It’s searching for satellites.
Blink every 1s – Position Fix is found(The module can see enough satellites).
Must be used outside not indoors
