ESP32 and XA1100

GPS/GNSS Development Boards
1

Hello friends, I bought the GPS XA1100 from sparkfun and I need to get it working with my ESP32 for school project. I dont know what I am doing wrong but I cant get it to work.

I connected the 3.3 v to 3.3v on my ESP32 and ground to ground.

I also connected TX from GPS to RX on ESP32 and RX to TX.

For code I found some examples online but they dont work. Can anyone Help me with the code to get this GPS working.

For now I would like to display NEMA sentences and after that I would love to have them translated to LONG and LAT.

I appreciate the help, Thank you friends.

Hello Szarflarskik,

After wiring, can you verify if LEDs come on when powered?

Unfortunately, we can not support code outside what is written in our [Hookup Guide. The code in that guide is exclusively for I2C and not UART. I would recommend looking into [TinyGPS++

I hope this helps point you in the right direction.](GitHub - mikalhart/TinyGPSPlus: A new, customizable Arduino NMEA parsing library)](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sparkfun-gps-breakout---xa1110-qwiic-hookup-guide?_ga=2.205266647.673980155.1581351790-2114068872.1578439588)
