U-blox NEO-6M GPS Module with Ceramic Antenna

Add high-precision location and tracking capabilities to your projects with the renowned U-blox NEO-6M GPS Module. This high-performance receiver is one of the most popular GPS modules in the hobbyist and professional community, known for its fast satellite acquisition times, accuracy, and reliability.

Based on the U-blox 6 positioning engine, this module can track up to 50 satellites to provide you with accurate latitude, longitude, altitude, velocity, and time data. It’s the perfect solution for building vehicle trackers, autonomous drones, geo-tagging devices, and navigation systems.

This breakout board is designed for ease of use, featuring a UART serial interface for simple connection to any microcontroller like an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32. It includes an onboard EEPROM for saving configuration settings and a battery backup for the real-time clock, which allows for faster “warm” and “hot” starts. The included external ceramic patch antenna ensures excellent signal reception.

Key Features:

• Chipset: U-blox NEO-6M
• High Sensitivity: -161 dBm tracking sensitivity
• Fast Acquisition: Cold start in under 30 seconds, hot start in 1 second
• Interface: UART TTL Serial (default 9600 baud)
• Power Supply: 3.3V to 5V compatible with onboard regulator
• Backup: Onboard battery for RTC and fast satellite fix
• Antenna: Includes high-gain external ceramic patch antenna
• Status LED: Onboard LED blinks to indicate a satellite fix

Applications:

The NEO-6M is the ideal choice for a wide range of location-aware projects, including UAVs/drones, car navigation and tracking systems, fleet management, weather balloon tracking, and any application that requires precise and reliable global positioning data.
