Description
- How to use the template, the link is obtained in the product description
- ★Note: This GPS module will not search for signals when the weather is bad, and it will not search for stars indoors. When using it, please make sure that the GPS module is in an open location.
- GPSBaud needs to be set to 9600 instead of 4800; PPS pin is not needed unless using the GPS to drive a hardware high precision clock; GT-U7 main module GPS module using the original UBLOX 7th generation chip, Software is compatible with NEO-6M. GT-U7 module, with high sensitivity, low power consumption, miniaturization, its extremely high tracking sensitivity greatly expanded its positioning of the coverage.
- With a USB interface, you can directly use the phone data cable on the computer point of view positioning effect; With IPEX antenna interface, the default distribution of active antenna, can be quickly positioned.
- USB directly connected to the computer, That is, with the host computer-owned serial port function, no need for external serial module, send IPX interface active antenna!

This little unit is a great value. It does appear to use an authentic U-Blox chip under the metal can and white label. Most U-Center software functions seem to work just fine.
I interfaced mine to a Raspberry Pi 2 to make an NTP time server. The PPS connection allows accuracy down to a few 10s of nanoseconds. This requires configuring the Raspberry Pi to accept a PPS signal on one of the GPIO pins. I used the “GPSD” and “NTPD” packages, which interface nicely with the unit. Be sure to hook up to the TX and RX serial lines, as GPSD appears to update the time and other parameters that allow a rapid “cold” fix when first powered up.
A word on power and levels . The module on the board operates at 3.3v!!!!! However, this board has a 5v > 3.3 volt regulator that allows powering from the USB connector. The Vcc pin also connects to the regulator input.
***UPDATED*** The module can only be powered from 5v on the Vcc pin. The onboard voltage regulator does not function properly with the Vcc pin connected to 3.3v. It appears to function normally, but will be subject to very frequent dropouts of 3D lock and other erratic operation. Also. operating the board from 3.3v on the Vcc pin would subject the device providing power to 5v on its 3.3v output should the USB port be connected to a computer for programming the board. Be careful.
The TXD, RXD and PPS pins all operate with 3.3v as their logic high input/output levels!!! A read of the data sheet from the link in the listing clearly states theses interface pins are NOT 5 volt tolerant. That means if you use a device (like an Arduino) that uses 5v as its logic “high” to connect to an input on this device (RXD), you will probably damage the chip. It may work for a while, but it is stressing the chip beyond the absolute maximum ratings.
The PPS and TXD pins are outputs, so no damage results connecting these to a device expecting a 5v input, but the data will be very sensitive to noise and corrupted data on the receiving device (an Arduino, for example). It may seem to work OK, but you would do better investing in a cheap bidirectional 5v 3.3v level converter chip for a few dollars if you want to connect to an Arduino.
The device is perfectly matched in terms of voltage levels to a Raspberry Pi, however!

Update: one of my nanos was only putting out 4.2v on the 5v pin and that caused many problems including
very poor reception by this gps. If yours acts up check the voltage it’s getting.
Update: For my clocks I finally wrote my own nmea parser that only looks at the RMC messages. TinyGPS hides the actual message type from you, it waits until the age and error flags are all proper before it hands data off to you and it takes time extracting a lot of stuff I don’t care about. I have things to get done and TinyGPS was getting in the way.
20ma draw.
First (cold) start under a tin roof at 2000ft above sea level approx 10 min but may not happen at all until satellite view improves.
Warm start 10min later still under tin but against outside wooden wall is 5 seconds. 12 sats in view and 9 tracked.
‘Tepid’ start after being off overnight is about 5-10 seconds in the same conditions to emit time but getting the date takes maybe another 5 seconds.
Sentences with time appear as soon as the first sat is in view. (Nice for use as a clock source).

My application is timekeeping, and certainly does not involve flight control.
This module was intriguing given its low price relative to other modules.
Notes:
• MicroUSB connector makes it super quick to check operation against a 9600 baud serial port/terminal.
• Operates on 5V, and I’ve confirmed on a scope (and by use) that both the TXD and PPS output TTL levels.
• Draws ~35ma @ 5V.
• PPS is a positive-going 100ms pulse and it appears that the positive transitions mark the *next* received sentences, and seconds=00. Note that PPSs only appear when there’s an actual fix (eg. $GPRMC Status term = ‘A’) The little red LED on the breakout board seems to be wired as inverse-PPS, so solid red until a fix, then pulsing off in tandem with PPS. Useful.
• I confirmed that two otherwise unrelated modules with fixes, do PPS exactly in tandem, as expected.
• Sentences output (at 1s intervals of 9600 baud) are ($GP)RMC, VTG, GGA, GSA, GSV & GLL. I only needed RMC & GGA.
• Position output was spot-on at least when static on my desk. Had no need to evaluate it in motion.
• Sentences seem to work fine with the usual GPS parsing libraries, or if you roll your own.
• The breakout module features what appears to be a small rechargeable coin cell spot-welded to its holder, permitting hot-starts.
• The supplied patch antenna on a short pigtail with a U.FL connector works well. So does a more substantial GPS antenna terminated with a U.FL. Keep in mind U.FL connectors are not intended for repeated mating cycles. ie, they’re fragile! Use a magnifying glass when connecting.
What I find questionable:
• Vendors’ Amazon description claims to be “using the original UBLOX (sic) 7th generation chip”. Obviously, the “GT-U7” module on this breakout board does not claim to be a u-blox product. Is it then using some sort of “original” ublox chip inside it? Reading up on how to spot a fake on ublox’s site leads one to believe this is in fact some sort of clone of the u-blox Neo 6 or 7. Startup $GPTXT sentence claims itself as u-blox 7, tho… Questionable if module is in fact configurable via u-center, although u-center has no problem parsing its output. If you are expecting something genuine-ublox, do some research.
• Questionable how 5V-tolerant RXD, the sole input on this breakout, might be. Since I do not plan on sending it any configuration, I’m leaving it disconnected and using the module in its default mode.
• A schematic of this breakout board would be very useful, in particular to answer the previous question. Can’t seem to find one for it. Aargh. Easy enough to reverse-engineer, given motivation to do so.
So, would I trust this product in my 1/8 scale autonomous jet-powered RC A380 model aircraft? Probably not.
But for my timekeeping application, it works fine, thus not subtracting any stars since I’m realistic about its pedigree.

This chip is a clone of the U-Blox Neo-6m. U-Blox.com has lots of documentation at U-blox.com
It’s a 5 volt device. With Rx and Tx both 5v. The default Baud rate is 9600 bps which is higher that typical modules. It works with TinyGPS and Adadfruit GPS libraries once you are connected. You can use the USB micro B plug to access the chip directly The U-blox U-Center software will interface directly thru USB.
The U-center is complex and powerful but daunting. Since the device is a clone not every feature is guaranteed to work through U-Center but many useful settings do work.
Another USB direct software is VisualGPSView. (Free)
The USB connection is a different channel from the serial and may use a different baud rate.
Double check which:
-Baud rates are used
-Voltages used on each pin
-Reverse Rx Tx pins just to be sure
This info cost me a lot of pain to learn so try it out. I love this module and I am using several already. It is very sensitive and gets a fix fast.

Man, I just love these things. 5V friendly (which is a lot less common these days) and works beautifully with the TinyGPS++ library. Hunt down the ublox u-center software (it’s free) and you can make all kinds of tweaks to this thing. They’re so cheap, I’ve been using them for custom clocks. Never need to set the time! Even from a cold start in the basement with no saved ephemeris, GPS lock is achieved in minutes.
