NEO-6M GPS Module with EEPROM

The NEO-6M is a very capable GPS for the price and size. Compatible with UART-capable devices including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, MSP430, and MSP432.
Power the module and it will automatically acquire satellite signals and a position fix. Once it has a position fixed the module will blink the onboard LED. This LED will continue to blink while the module has a position fix.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Input Supply Voltage Range: 3.3V-6V, on board voltage regulator maintains 3.3V
• I/O Maximum Logic Level: 3.6V
• WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) enabled GPS unit
• <1 second to first fix (TTFF) for hot starts
• 27 seconds to first fix (TTFF) for cold starts
• On board LED will blink after module acquires a position fix and will continue blinking as long as the module has a fix
• 50 Channel NEMA GPS receiver
• UART: 9600 baud by default, but is configurable from 4800 to 115200 baud
• 5Hz max update rate
• External EEPROM for configuration storage
• Four plated mounting holes, 3mm in diameter
• One additional non-plated mounting/antenna cable hole, 4mm in diameter
• Position Accuracy: 2 m and better with multiple good satellite signals
• Velocity Accuracy: 0.1 m/s
• Maximum Velocity: 500 m/s
• Heading Accuracy: 0.5 degrees while moving
• On board battery for battery backed RAM (BBR)
  • Battery is recharged through a simple diode and resistor charger circuit from the on board voltage regulator’s 3.3V output
• Three different power modes (refer to Receiver Description Including Protocol Specification for information on configuring the operating mode)
  • Two continuous operating modes:
    • Maximum Performance Mode – continuously uses the acquisition engine, resulting in the best possible time to first fix (TTFF)
    • Eco Mode – optimizes the use of the acquisition engine to minimize current consumption
  • One intermittent operating mode
    • Power Save Mode – draws only 11mA – Utilizes cyclic tracking, with configurable update periods, which reduces the average power consumption significantly
• -156dBm Hotstart sensitivity
• Dimensions of GPS Module: 36mm (1.42in) x 25.8mm (1.02in) x 4mm (0.16in)
• Dimensions of Antenna: 25.5mm (1in) x 25.5mm (1in) x 8.8mm (0.35in)
