Reading GPS data using Arduino and a U-blox NEO-6M GPS receiver

Project description

It is possible to read, and log GPS data, such as time, position, speed, and so on, using an Arduino microcontroller plus an U-blox NEO-6M GPS receiver. For my test, I used an Arduino Ethernet and a U-blox NEO-6M GPS, which I bought on Amazon Japan for 2,580Yen (about 17 Euro), a very cheap price. In order to interface the Arduino with the GPS receiver, you have to connect the following pins: power supply VCC (5V), GND (0V), and serial RX and TX. You need to connect the GPS receiver TX to the Arduino RX, and RX with TX. Actually, the NEO-6M GPS serial communication works with 3.3V voltage…
