Ublox NEO 6M module
- Protocol: NMEA via UART
Configuration (Windows only)
- Download u-center from ublox
- Connect the ublox module to your computer via a USB to Serial converter (3V)
- Open u-center, select the correct Receiver COM port: Receiver → Port. If correctly connected, data will now be displayed in the u-center views.
- To configure the device, open: View → Configuration View
- NAV5 view: dynamic platform model can be set to portable, airborne (50km altitude limit) or pedestrian. Default: portable.
- PM view: settings of interest: peak current reduction (p.25 in datasheet), EXTINT pin control high keeps awake.
- MSG: DTM off, GBS off, GGA on, GLL off, GRS off, GSA off, GST off, GSV on, RMC off, VTG on, ZDA off
Used NMEA messages
- $GPGGA,hhmmss.ss,Latitude,N,Longitude,E,FS,NoSV,HDOP,msl,m,Altref,m,DiffAge,DiffStation*cs<CR><LF>
- $GPGSV,NoMsg,MsgNo,NoSv,{,sv,elv,az,cno}*cs<CR><LF>
- $GPVTG,cogt,T,cogm,M,sog,N,kph,K,mode*cs<CR><LF>
- ex: $EIGPQ,RMC*3A (poll an NMEA message) → p.58 in ubx datasheet
Navigation concept
- Waypoint manager: Remotely updateable waypoint store (home is by definition the first waypoint of the table
