M5Stack GPS Module with Internal & External Antenna (NEO-M8N)

by M5Stack

A stackable NEO-M8N based GPS module for use with M5Stack Core development boards, with a built in ceramic antenna and a 1m external antenna.

The NEO-M8N integrates a 72-channel u-blox M8 GNSS engine that supports multiple GNSS systems ( Beidou, Galileo, GLONASS, GPS / QZSS ) and is able to receive 3 GNSS systems simultaneously. It provides high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times while maintaining low system power.

The GPS module communicates with the M5Core board via UART, physically connected via UART2 (GPIO16, GPIO17). 

Note: This module will only be able to pick up a GPS signal outdoors!
